    Dr. Cheong is wonderful. She made sure I understood each test result and each medication I had been prescribed. She listened to my concerns and adjusted my medication to see if it would clear the dizziness I had been experiencing in the morning.

    Everyone was very helpful and kind. I wish the actual surgeon would have come out earlier. This was the first time that I met him.
