It was great. Dr. Cheema is very friendly & positive.

It was very lite. To me, she barely examined me. One thing that stood out is the many questions asked about depression. The second thing is her telling me to lower my intake of food. I am overweight and have been for the last 10 years. No increase, same size. I’m not a big eater and work 9-5 daily. Just can’t find a good doctor. I’ll keep trying until I do.
February 21, 2026Katrina A.Verified patient
The nurse was super friendly and warm.
However, when the doctor came in, she was so rushed, condescending and mentioned God. She lectured me about everything from my mental health (and Im a mental health therapist - which she didn’t even read bedore hand), to why we cry, to how I should be eating - AFTER I told her how much I struggle with weight despite healthy eating and exercise, combined with me having a hx of an eating disorder.
I have a very complicated health history and I felt like she rushed me through everything, didn’t care and I couldn’t get everything out. She completely dismissed my concerns and only cared about stating her agenda.

We've been looking for a new Primary Care Practice for almost a year. We couldn't be happier with Dr. Cheema and her practice. They're in a convenient location with ample parking and tons of nearby amenities.
We were able to get 3 separate appointments within 48 hours of requesting each. Check-in was quick and efficient. And Dr. Cheema's approach and bedside manner is refreshing.
Looking forward to long relationship.

I recently visited Dr. Asima Cheema, MD, and I want to share my experience to help other patients who may be looking for the right provider.
From the moment I walked into the office, the staff was welcoming and professional. The wait time was reasonable, and I felt respected throughout the entire process. Dr. Asima took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained everything in a way that was clear and easy to understand.
What stood out the most was the doctor’s compassion and attentiveness. I never felt rushed, and I truly felt that my health and well-being were the priority. The treatment plan was explained thoroughly, with options and next steps clearly laid out, which gave me a lot of confidence.
Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Asima for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy doctor. My experience was excellent, and I feel comfortable continuing my care here.

Dr. Cheema was very informative, compassionate, empathetic and genuinely a kind-hearted warm person. I wish all doctors were this way with their patients. She was also an incredible listener and asked great questions demonstrating she cared. I enjoyed my visit and felt armed with information on how to better care for myself by the end.
