The doctor was attentive and listened. The front desk staff were very rude however, but for a good physician I’ll deal with it.

Needed a biopsy right away and was able to make a next day appointment. The office is calm and had great music playing for the waiting room. The staff was sweet and courteous. I was taken to my room as soon as I completed my forms. Dr. Cheng is calm, a great listener, very informative and came up with a plan for my case. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Cheng!

I would recommend Dr. Cheng to any of my family or friends. She has a great bedside manner and made me feel heard and comfortable. She was able to perform a quick biopsy on a small growth on my foot where I experienced zero pain during the procedure and she chatted with me through it to alleviate my stress. Great doctor!
