My first visit to Dr. Cheng and to a chiropractor. He was very thorough in taking down my medical history and explained everything. Going back next week.

Dr Cheng has changed my life! When I went to my first appointment, I let him know I could not sleep through the night, for 5 nights. Since the first visit he realigned my back such that I could sleep without extreme pain. Pain levels had been 9/10. Dr Cheng is the most professional doctor and knows which treatments to apply to help you recover complex back issues. I give him 5 stars ??. The community is very lucky to have him!

Rude in communication, and a very poor listener.

I hope more people realize it’s about the Doctor and his time with you vs how modern the office looks..
Dr Cheng was very kind and professional. I was in and out in 35-40 min and felt my posture improved with the adjustment.

Dr. Cheng is very calm, friendly and patient. He's a great listener, never rushes through his appointments, he takes time to explain things in detail and is also very informative and knowledgeable. He made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, as he has excellent bedside manners and a soothing and reassuring style. I ended up not going once, but every day of the week, and made really nice progress with my condition. Dr. Cheng helped me get a precise diagnostic with his referral for further investigations and I'm getting referred by him for specialized treatment and care for my condition. I'd recommend Dr. Cheng warmly to anyone and I'm glad to have found my chiropractor. I'll visit his practice on a regular basis.

Dr. Cheng is super professional and considerate. He provides effective treatments to relieve my back and neck pains. Highly recommended.
April 15, 2023Wentao C.Verified patient
Holy Bananas!! I have never been to a doctors visit quite like this one. Dr. Cheng was extremely professional and extremely knowledgeable. Before he would perform anything, he would inform me of what he was doing and how he was going to do it. He was extremely patient with all my questions and concerns. Not for one moment did I feel confused or uncomfortable with how the visit was going. I will be back to continue my treatment and most definitely recommend Dr. Cheng to whom ever may need an exceptional chiropractor.
