Dr. John W. Chang

Dr. John W. Chang, MD, serves as the Medical Director of the Miami Vein Institute, where he specializes in the treatment of venous insufficiency and cosmetic vascular concerns. With more than two decades of surgical experience, Dr. Chang is dedicated to providing precise, evidence-based care focused on both the medical and aesthetic aspects of vein health.

Dr. Chang earned his medical degree with honors from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in 1997. He subsequently completed his general and trauma surgery residency at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach. This rigorous surgical training provided him with extensive expertise in vascular anatomy, minimally invasive procedures, and patient safety.

Throughout his career, Dr. Chang has focused on treating conditions associated with venous insufficiency, including varicose veins, leg swelling, heaviness, and chronic aching caused by poor circulation. He utilizes advanced diagnostic ultrasound technology to identify the underlying source of vein dysfunction and develop targeted, individualized treatment plans for each patient.

Dr. Chang is highly experienced in a range of minimally invasive venous procedures, including endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency therapy, and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. His methodical approach emphasizes precision and patient comfort, helping minimize recovery times and allowing patients to return to their normal daily activities as quickly as possible.

As Medical Director of the Miami Vein Institute, Dr. Chang leads a dedicated team committed to patient safety, effective treatment, and long-term vascular wellness. He maintains active memberships in professional organizations, including the American College of Phlebology and the American College of Surgeons, and remains committed to staying informed about advances in venous medicine and current clinical guidelines.

The Miami Vein Institute serves patients throughout South Florida from two convenient office locations in Coral Gables and Weston. Dr. Chang continues to help patients improve their leg health, relieve uncomfortable symptoms, and regain confidence through personalized, office-based vein treatments that typically do not require a hospital stay.
