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.

Highly skilled, current & transparent.
I’ve been Dr Cheng patient for four years being treated for CLL/SLL. He is knowledgeable, current, very open and honest about my condition and empathetic. I trust him with my life and am fortunate to be his patient.

Thorough, good listener, explains well
Dr Cheng took his time, taking a thorough history and doing a careful exam. He explained my condition and treatment options very well and in terms that I could easily understand. The office staff are helpful and friendly. I chose Dr Cheng on the basis of a recommendation by my primary care provider and I’m very pleased.

All he and his staff are concerned about is getting paid before they will administer drugs for chemo. Choose another doctor.
