Christopher K. Cheng's Online Review Report Card

I saw Dr. Christopher Cheng for my first consultation this morning after a referral from his colleague Dr. Barton. Dr. Cheng, a sleep specialist, is very impressive. He greeted me with a warm ‘Hello’. As I sat down in his office, Dr. Cheng invited me to share my thoughts. What he actually said was, ‘why don’t you tell me what you’re going through and I’ll just sit here and listen.’ I teased him by saying, ‘How much time do you have…’ He simply smiled and said, ‘I’ll listen as long as it takes.’ The visit just got better. He reviewed my labs. Asked detailed questions. Inquired about long ago health history. Leaving his office, I walked out feeling more than listened to. I felt cared about. You will too, because one can readily tell Dr. Christopher Cheng’s style is innate to his character. West Coast Neurology’s whole staff resonates with care and concern for your well being. This will be my second five (5) star review for practitioners at West Coast Neurology. Both well earned.

I wish I would have gone to Dr. Cheng years ago! With just one meeting he changed my life for the better. I came in with a lot of misperceptions and a lack of knowledge on sleep apnea and C-PAP machines. Dr. Cheng is a great listener and anticipated a lot of my questions before I asked them. I went from getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night to 7-8. Strong recommend!

Dr. Cheng and his staff are excellent. I had no idea how much my sleep apnea was effecting my life. This diagnosis and treatment sincerely changed my life. I had forgotten what it was like to wake up at 5:00 am after just 7 hours of sleep and feeling awesome. All I can say is, if you are tired in the middle of the day and you think you may have some issue with getting good sleep, then get tested. It could just be a life changing experience, as it was for me.

Dr Cheng is a sleep neurology angel. I suffered for 30 years with a very unusual neurological condition. He patiently listened, went through a battery of tests, collaborated with other doctors, and helped me through the long and difficult treatment process. I cannot recommend him more highly. If you have unusual tiredness or pain, go to him and see if he can help. He won't disappoint. Let Dr Cheng help you!

Dr. Cheng is a superb doctor. He is very wise, and an incredibly insightful "listener".I became his patient when I needed a sleep study. I was able to complete the entire process at his facility on Raymond Avenue. Dr. Cheng was able to clearly describe his findings, and provide a comprehensive treatment plan. He carefully followed my progress and tweaked the program to the point where he not only helped me, but he truly improved the quality of my life.In my opinion, he is a great physician and a truly compassionate human being. I feel so fortunate that I found Dr. Cheng - and wholeheartedly recommend him because he is totally focused on achieving meaningful outcomes.

I had been searching for a diagnosis for over a year before I finally found Dr. Cheng. I went from severe insomnia, to frustrating hypersomnia, to a befuddling combination of the two that left me unable to wake up to any alarm or get up for the day feeling remotely rested. As an average-sized, 23-year-old woman, I don't fit the stereotype for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I hadn't even considered the diagnosis. In my search for answers to my sleep problems, I turned to specialists who tried to mansplain circadian rhythms to me, primary care doctors who tried to blame it all on depression, and a myriad of google searches that led nowhere but a rabbit hole of anxiety. When I finally met Dr. Cheng, I could tell right away he was different. He was sympathetic, compassionate, and most importantly: he believed me when I told him something was wrong. He ordered a sleep study, and a month or so later I finally had an answer: Sleep Apnea. A week after that, I got my CPAP. I've slept with uncomfortable medical equipment before (hello, headgear anyone?), so it wasn't too much of a transition getting used to the CPAP. I woke up the next morning feeling more rested than I had in a long, long time. I felt like myself again, and I owe it all to Dr. Cheng. Not only did he solve my medical mystery-- he gave me my life back. Now almost a year into treatment, I'm a new woman. I've finished my degree. I've started writing again. And I'm in the process of searching for a full-time job. Yes, the kind that requires waking up early and being awake and attentive and reliable on a daily basis. Sleep apnea took so, so much from me. And with the help of Dr. Cheng, I've finally been able to take some of it back. If you have a sleep situation that makes you hate everything, if you've forgotten what a good night's sleep feels like, if you're tired of being talked over and dismissed and ignored-- Dr. Cheng is the doctor for you. I could not recommend him more highly.

Dr. Cheng cured my sleep apnea! He took me through the entire process of getting the sleep study and getting adjusted to the CPAP machine. It is transformative when you no longer need to nap throughout the day.He is extremely knowledgeable and patient. Highly recommended!

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Cheng and beg to differ from the prior review. I believe Dr. Cheng was quite confident in his work, a good listener, courteous, and maintained good communication throughout the course of my treatment. He promptly handled any appeals for treatments or diagnostic testing. He has good understanding of BOTH sleep and neurological disorders, and I recommend him without reservation.

I saw Dr. Cheng when trying to find the root cause of my neurological symptoms. He never was able to diagnose me and I felt like he dragged me along for months and ultimately delayed my treatment. He wasn't confident in his communications and I didn't feel like he listened to my symptoms, regardless of how I communicated them (faxing in advance, verbally explaining, handing a written list to him). I've since found a neurologist who has diagnosed me and is treating me. My impression is that his focus is on sleep issues, and his knowledge on other areas is limited.

Dr. Cheng is a great doctor! He did a wonderful job explaining the diagnosis process (in my case), and medical terms! I understood everything clearly (and easily)!Some doctors will explain a diagnosis verbally, using terms the rest of us do not understand, however he took the time to carefully explain everything and included visual aids (charts). I admit I went into his office feeling nervous and a bit uneasy, but there was honestly no need :) He's a calm (chill), happy guy - but he's not like those other doctors who are overly energetic, which is a good thing. Very professional and kind - like most people in the business of dealing with people, good at small talk. I left his office feeling relieved.He's a doctor you can rely on.
