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.

Great doctor!

I have been seeing Dr. Cheung for three or four years now. I see her mainly for sleep disorders (sleep apnea as well as an inability to sleep at the appropriate time of day), although I also have asthma. I have seen her in the office and on video appointments. During my time as her patient, I have always found her to be a capable and caring doctor. She listens to everything I have to say and answers all my questions. I am surprised at the negative comments I see regarding her rushing people or spending too much time inputting data on the computer. That has never been my experience. I highly recommend Dr. Cheung for anyone looking for a Pulmonologist.

I have been seeing Dr. Cheung for respiratory issues and for sleep apnea. My case is very challenging and I feel very confident to have Dr. Cheung as my doctor. She is extremely thorough and an excellent diagnostician. She has provided excellent care. She will spend the time needed and get the necessary tests ordered. I would highly recommend Dr. Cheung. She cares about her patients.

Her personality is rude and has not empathy. None. Spends all the time on the computer inputting the data. Scolds you when you ask a question and asks that you wait until she is done.....then says you have 4 minutes. Unbelieveable arrogant. Find another doctor.
