    Dr Cheng is a wonderful physician. He is collaborative, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. He understands my chief concerns and works with me to get through the solution while paying attention to my timelines, work schedule, and insurance needs. He is a fantastic doctor.

    Dr. Cheng listened to my questions and gave a good idea of the situation. He also followed up and addressed the test results after the visit.

    Dr. Cheng is an remarkable physician. He listens carefully and provides explanations in detail (as requested). He came into the room with his questions for me already prepared. He was thorough, his explanations were clear, he answered all of my questions. For one of the questions he needed additional information, he shared computer screen with me while he was finding the appropriate information, and put It in the AVS for me to have as well. He arranged for standing lab orders to provide easy access for tests I might need on an as-needed basis. As you can see, I am tremendously impressed and appreciative. I hope these comments will be made available for him to see.

    I Am 73 years old and have had a number of internists. He is the best internist I have ever had care for me. I have referred others to him, and they, too, have been extremely pleased with him and his care. He is clearly evidence nased in his practice, shares the data with me, and makes sure I have understood him. He has reviewed my chart before coming into the room and has specific items. He wants to cover Is as well as making sure all of the questions I brought to the visit were covered.

    The reason I did not give 5 for instructions is that I was feeling a bit uncertain when I left about my wearable BP device. (E.g., minimum # readings needed to be useful) I was also a bit surprised that we didn't set up planned follow up appointment.
