    I really appreciate how Dr. Cheng takes time to understand my questions and concerns, including navigating some obstacles I've encountered in other parts of the health care system. I also appreciate the help he has given me with medication insurance issues.

    After losing my last primary care physician(I missed seeing her letter of leaving UCSF), I am very happy with Dr Cheng. I tend to have symptoms, maybe outside the box or intermittent, which makes it a challenge for diagnosis as I'm often told, if it happens again, come back in. Dr Cheng listens to my "nagging" and being 68 years old, I know my body. With appreciation.

Please check with your health insurance plan regarding coverage for this type of care. Not all providers at UCSF Health are covered by every insurance plan.
