    I wish that every doctor had the same attitude and professionalism that my doctor has. He is the reason I continue to have my medical care done at U.C.S.F.

    Dr. Cheng and his staff are the best care providers I have encountered over my 60 years of being alive. Dr. Cheng is patient, extremely thorough and very realistic. Explains the problem, alternatives and risks in a simple yet detailed manner. My entire recovery has tracked with what I was told to expect. When it comes to any type of surgery and especially a procedure in the head, knowing what to expect makes recovery much easier/less stressful.

    Meeting Dr. Yew Song Cheng is the great fortune of my life. They cared about me, listened to me, and gave me sincere care like a family member. The follow-up treatment was accurate and without delay, so there was no difficulty in team-work with other treatment teams. I am grateful to him for improving my quality of life.

    Dr. Yew Song Cheng treated the patient with sincerity and explained the steps in a way that the patient could understand, and even after lunchtime, he did his best to take care of him without rushing, which greatly helped him recover. We are actively informing families, relatives, friends, and neighbors about the services of UCSF hospitals and care staff.
