Dr. Jim Cheung, MD

Of course I was nervous, speaking about heart surgery but Dr Cheung spoke so reassuringly that I calmed down.

Positive outcomes with a very humble physician caring of his patients and treating them effectively.

Dr. Cheung has exceptional medical skills, but his ability to communicate and connect with the patient puts him in rarified air. Patient, direct, and clear, his ability to convey complex information in layman's terms is exceptional.

Dr Cheung has helped me tremendously w my a fib.He cardioverted me after knee surgery when I had sustained a fib and then months later did ablation.Hes wonderful and I feel blessed to have him as my Dr.I am doing very well,normal rhythm,off blood thinners.

Dr Cheung is an outstanding cardiologist with a specialty in arrhythmias, an academic expert in his field and leader among clinicians. I am a doctor myself and know the full range of possibilities and I consider myself fortunate to be under Dr Cheung’s superb care. He performed an ablation almost a decade ago for my recurrent AF after which I have had no recurrence or problems. In my last appointment Dr Cheung told me I may qualify to participate in a research project that advances knowledge in this field. Dr Cheung’s careful listening to my nuanced report of occasional cardiac irritability led him to think of me as a research candidate, to sort through the possibilities with the potential of implementing a new, more flexible protocol for taking prn “as needed” anticoagulants should there be brief episodic AF that eludes capture. Moreover, Dr. Cheung is caring, with a common sense approach. I’m lucky to have him on my team!

Dr Cheung is a capable and affable physician, one of the top docs in electro cardiology. That said, the poor administrative coordination within his office left me wishing I’d gone to Mt Sinai instead. Beginning with scheduling me for conflicting tests in my initial screening, through to arranging for a medical monitoring device so late my follow up had to be rescheduled, and completely dropping important communications, the indifference and haphazard follow up of the office staff makes it a gambit to one’s health.

Saw Dr. Cheung right on appointment time. Professional and friendly staff. Dr. Cheung as always ready to answer questions and provide guidance. I feel very fortunate to be Dr. Cheung's patient. Simply the best.

This was a follow up appointment to review my medications and discuss my atrial fibrillation. Dr. Cheung explains things in a way that is easily understandable to a non-medical person. The appointment was not rushed and he took as much time as necessary to answer my questions.

The Dr was polite informative patient answered all questions easily and most of all fixed me with a cardio version. Thank you Dr

Dr. Cheung arrived for our first appointment (with a big smile) fully conversant with the details of my case history, having already been in contact with the specialist who referred me to him. He was positive, thorough in his detailed explanation and very responsive in a relaxed manner. As we are rolling into a technical procedure his grace and surety instilled a strong sense of confidence in me, and removed a good bit of stress from me.

We had a virtual visit. He was fully booked on the day he was to meet with patients so took time out on another day so that he could confer with me. He could not have been more attentive and helpful.

Dr. Cheung carefully explained the heart procedure, what to expect before and after. In hospital he came prior to procedure and after to ask how I was and told me the results.

When I was researching electrophysiologists for an atrial ablation that I decided to have done ,six years ago, Dr. Cheung came very highly recommended to me by other cardiologists that I know and trust. Dr. Cheung was amazing and I couldn’t be more grateful for the recommendation!

Dr. Cheung listens, explains, answers questions. You feel completely confident as a patient.

Dr. Cheung is exceptional!

I was very fortunate to have Dr. Cheung do my procedure. I knew I was in the best possible hands and was very confident things would go well. He is skilled, caring and just a wonderful human being

All my questions were addressed and thoroughly explained. Dr Cheung was attentive to my symptoms and and outlined a course of action to determine the causes for my Afib and pvc's. I am moving forward with establishing my next step with him.

Care, professional!

Excellent Doctor!

Everything about my visits has been positive. He is knowledgeable, well-prepared, and a good listener. He answers all questions, even my somewhat dumb ones, and gives very clear information on the pros and cons of suggested treatments. His entire staff is courteous, professional, and friendly. For the first time in years, my heart is functioning normally. That is wonderful!I would recommend Dr. Cheung to anyone needing his type of services.
