Dr. Sheng was very informative and respectful to me and my accompanying people (one in person, one via phone), answering all our questions fully and clearly. She stayed as long as we had questions, ordered some follow-up blood work, before continuing on to treatment possibilities.

Dr. Sheng Inspires confidence & trust among her patients not only as a gifted, highly competent & experienced physician, but by virtue of her warmth, compassion and her genuine care about the health & wellbeing of each person within her care, extending beyond her particular area of specialty. She listens carefully to her patients & answers their questions (or explains how to find the answer for Qs she's not able to address). Dr. Sheng is a wonderful doctor and I feel fortunate to be in her care.
