LYDON CHANG, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

Board-Certified Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and American Medical Association Member

Dr. Chang completed his medical training at the age of 23, after completing a six-year accelerated BS/MD program at Penn State University. He graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors. He then completed his Ob/Gyn training at Lenox Hill Hospital, where he was awarded the Kupperman Prize for resident excellence. He then went on to assist in supervising the Ob/Gyn residency program at Lenox Hill and was awarded Resident Teacher of the Year in 2002. He also ran the Ob/Gyn department at the Paul Robeson Medical Center, serving the underprivileged in Harlem. In 2002, he founded the ELJ Ob/Gyn practice, which remains one of the largest obstetrical providers at Lenox Hill. He continues to enjoy a 17-year affiliation with Lenox Hill Hospital.

Dr. Chang met Dr. Zhang about four years ago, when their offices were near each other. When Dr. Chang would run into questions regarding fertility issues in his practice, he would frequently consult with Dr. Zhang. In the course of their discussions, Dr. Chang became aware of minimal stimulation IVF, as well as Dr. Zhang's intelligent, low-key approach. At that time, New Hope Fertility was a new practice and was very busy. Dr. Chang decided to pitch in and assist Dr. Zhang part time,  learning more about Dr. Zhang's work. Eventually, despite the success of his own practice, he felt there was a greater need to help spread the techniques of minimal stimulation IVF and he  joined Dr. Zhang full time.

Dr. Chang is very honored to be working with Dr. Zhang in this important work. New Hope Fertility, as well as its patients, are fortunate to have him.
