Considering Cyberknife
« on: September 24, 2015, 04:13:24 pm »
Hello All, I am beginning to think about the Cyberknife treatment and have read a lot about Dr Chang at Stanford.  Does anyone know if Dr Chang does any consultations via phone or email if someone is out of state and they send him the MRI?  I can't seem to find any information whether he offers that or not. I appreciate any info someone might have.

Pattib,
I am also considering Cyberknife and I've been in touch with Dr. Chang via email. I sent him my MRI disk and he has offered advice to me. I contacted him at:

sdchang@stanford.edu

Good Luck!
Gary

Hi Pattib,
He does both and GaryWNT has given you the correct email address. It would probably be best to make arrangements via email if you want a phone consult.
