SHC Patient, Aug 2015
Felt was too rushed & didn't get to ask all my questions.
SHC Patient, Jul 2015
Dr. Cheung is great, but she is a bit mysterious - she sits & listens without reacting, which makes me chatter on & on. At latest visit, she was warmer & more animated, however, & very sweet.
SHC Patient, Jun 2015
Spent less than 5 minutes with me. Took two separate appts. to get referral for physical therapy - she should have done that the first visit. She did not show concern for my bike accident and shoulder injury.
SHC Patient, May 2015
I saw this doctor for a reoccurrence of a shoulder injury to the bicep tendon. After a superficial check I was told the problem I was experiencing was from my neck and referred to Spine Care. After Spine care reviewed the xray and doctor's report, they referred me to physical medicine who confirmed that it was an injury to the bicep tendon. A shot into the muscle/tendon totally cleared the problem. I felt if my symptoms been properly listened to and the examination more thorough, the correct diagnosis could and should have been made in the shoulder clinic.
SHC Patient, Apr 2015
This was regarding a difficult shoulder, replacement went in apprehensive after visit - feel very comfortable.
SHC Patient, Apr 2015
Dr. Cheung had never explained to me the details of my surgery UNTIL she was mad at me (and livid) for not following all of her previous instructions.
SHC Patient, Mar 2015
Just...Thank You!
SHC Patient, Mar 2015
Dr. Cheung's attentiveness to the patient and "bedside manner" is very impressive. She is a very pleasant doctor who acknowledged my comments, and answered my related questions. Too bad she doesn't operate on knees! :(
SHC Patient, Jan 2015
Excellent.
SHC Patient, Dec 2014
This was my 3rd rotator cuff repair. I'm from Chicago, but not live in Humboldt County & didn't feel care was up to par in Humboldt. Happy with my decision to go to Stanford and Dr. Cheung.
SHC Patient, Oct 2014
The facility is 45 min. from my house. I felt there could have been more time spent examining my issue.
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
I will be recommending Emily Cheung to next door Woodside, CA.
SHC Patient, Aug 2014
Dr. Cheung asked me how my shoulder bothered me other I fully explained it to and was examined by the resident working with her. At that time, she was very COLD, never nodded or showed any sign that she acknowledged what I said. Her bedside manner is scary - no concern shown for my problem and did not reading history.
SHC Patient, Jul 2014
Dr. was not very personable.
SHC Patient, Jun 2014
She went straight to surgery. I asked for/got cortisone which has been great and I may not need surgery.
SHC Patient, May 2014
I feel like I'm in very good hands with Dr. Cheung.
SHC Patient, Apr 2014
I've always had a positive experience at Stanford & with Dr. Cheung.
SHC Patient, Apr 2014
I think that Dr. Cheung is a fantastic surgeon. My physical therapy team is AMAZED at how well I am doing.
SHC Patient, Jan 2014
First visit w/dr. suppose to be 30 - 45 minutes - was under 15 min. When I asked questions, she was brusk & told me she'd answer at next visit. (Pre-op) I don't know if I want her to do the surgery.
