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.

Dr. Ching sat with my wife and I for 2 hrs explained ever aspect of breast cancer treatment. She proceeded to tell the difference what was aggresive cancer what wasn’t. I would highly recommend her.

I was so nervous because I needed to see a breast surgeon. The entire experience from start to finish of my appointment put my mind at ease. The staff is excellent and Dr Cheng did not rush me and answered all my questions. I feel very confident in my treatment with her.

I don't know who all these other reviews are talking about because MY experience with her was horrible, even shocking. I was very concerned about a possible condition, and after the exam, which did not seem to be caring and kind, or informative at all, she actually said, and I quote, "So I am not going to cut off your breast today." I mean, who says that??? And this was BEFORE a mammogram and results. I will NEVER go back to her and I do NOT recommend her, I don't care how much schooling she has had or how many languages she speaks, she has NO compassion or common sense! Was that comment supposed to be funny? I never.

By far the best Doctor I have ever had. As many did for me, I highly recommend her. She will take all the time you need to guide you through your diagnosis, surgery, recovery and after care. If I ever need her for anything she is there for me. When I was uncomfortable with anything or anyone on my team she was able to step in and make recommendations and guide me. I always felt like I was in the right hands with Dr. Cheng.

Dr. Cheng was OUTSTANDING! She performed a mastectomy on my mother and was absolutely wonderful. The amount of time she spent with us explaining the procedure, the process, etc., was second to none. Every piece of information she gave us was backed up with data, and thoughtful responses. I would fully recommend her. She was excellent!

Felt a lump at the base of my right breast in 12/2015. Made an appointment with my ob/gyn to check it out. He wanted me to see a breast specialist. Suggested Dr. Cheng at Stamford Breast Center. On 1/6/16 Dr. Cheng dismissed the lump as "fatty breast tissue" and spent the remainder of visit talking about breast cancer stats, etc. July, 2016 was my routine mammo/ultrasound. Biopsied immediately. Malignant tumor. Lumpectomy followed. Quite upset. I do not have a good report for this doc!

Dr. Cheng was my mom's primary surgeon throughout her entire battle with breast cancer. This woman is as close to perfection as you could possibly get. She is compassionate, understanding, kind, and extremely caring. She provided my mom with such peace of mind and was always straight up and up front about everything. She answered every question diligently and exceeded every expectation I've ever had of a doctor. Thank you Dr. Cheng for all your hard work, it doesn't go unnoticed??
