Dr. Cheng’s path to medicine began with a background in science and research. While she appreciated the analytical side of that work, she found herself wanting more direct connection with people.
I wanted a direct hands-on approach where I could get to know people, build relationships with them and help them along the way when they needed it.
While she enjoys caring for all patients, Dr. Cheng is candid about having a soft spot for those facing a mental health concern. Though the work can be emotionally difficult, it is also deeply meaningful.
