    Dr. Cheng's care, as before, was phenomenal. He reviewed not only the problems scheduled for follow up, but also discussed a problem not intended for follow up. He mentioned the question was not frequently asked, yet answered in remarkable detail and specifically how it applied to me. He is most pleasant and easy to communicate with. A remarkable physician.

    Dr. Cheng is a phenomenal physician. I have been cared for by a number of San Francisco internists over the last 40 years--Dr. Cheng is without question the most skilled, knowledgeable, and personable. When needed, he shares UpToDate information and the reasoning for his suggestions, answers my questions, and listens to my thoughts. I could not ask for better care.
