Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I like that the doctor went over my scans and I appreciate the promptness in that fashion. I wish there was more communication and organization with the front desk in accordance with what is supposed to happen with the patient. And I do appreciate the explanation of my care to a degree, but I wish there was better communication so that I wouldn't be confused about things at the end of my appointment. Thank you.

Dr. Cheng is exceptionally aware and attentive to my health conditions. I'm assured of his expertise which gives me a level of comfort I've not experienced before. I can also say the same for his nurse {staff name removed} who is on top of my questions with answers - almost as soon as I ask them.

Dr was polite but never listened to my lungs and never recommended medicine for excess mucus, his diagnosis, that he thought contributed to my low oxygen and breathing Problems. Fortunately, I had an appointment with my GP today. She ordered a chest X-ray after listening to breathing front and back. She suspect's pneumonia. A good doctor.

Thorough and kind
I had an unexpected bout of pneumonia based on an allergy attack. By email (a weekend), he handled my panic, my fear, needed medications and follow up. Later he reviewed how to catch it more quickly, how to prevent it and what to do. I place huge trust for a conscientious, kind physician!
