Cindy Cheung, MD

I’ve been Dr Cheungs patient for many years. I had to change OB for 2 years purely because she didn’t take my old insurance, and as soon as I became pregnant with my first child and had new insurance, I went back to her. BEST DECISION EVER. she made me feel at ease with all my questions (sometimes stupid questions since it’s my first pregnancy). I agree with some complaints below about the wait time, but realistically, that’s every doctors office in Flushing, expect to wait. and expect some cancellations due delivery babies, but it’s understandable. she visited me many times while I was waiting for labor, even DURING her office hours. she comes just in time for me to deliver the baby. (I seriously don’t know how she gets to so many places so fast). she visits me post delivery, demanding that I walk instead of being in a wheelchair. it was all for my own good. She followed up with me many times after a recent miscarriage, and calls me back right away after I leave her a message. I’ve read some previous reviews, complaints are all standard for flushing office based doctors. which is why I changed all my doctors elsewhere, except for Dr Cheung. she is patient, knowledgeable and never made me feel unease. possibly the best doctor I’ve ever went to.
btw I never ever give reviews about anything, but I came on Unilocal just to rave about her.

Dr. Cheung seems knowledgable but a bit pretencious and judgemental. you can expect to wait 45min-​1 hour even with an appointment. also the seats are usually full so don’t expect a seat when you come in. I came for a regular checkup and asked about an IUD as an option for birth control. I am 22. She told me that she only recommends it for women who are married and finished having kids because younger people tend to be more promiscuous and that it doesn’t protect from stds… didn’t even bother asking about my history, just assumed based on some statistic. She then gave me a referral for a lab. when the results came back the office wanted me make another appointment with her and wait another 40 minutes in the clinic just to give me my lab results. the results were normal, but she couldn’t tell me that over the phone. Clearly the office only cares about money and just wanted to bill for another visit.

They are very realistic and hard to schedule appt for BAD insurance holder
**BAD insurance = doesnt pay the doctor as much as those private insurance.
BAD INSURANCE
you call in and say: I would like to scheudle appt
they: sure, what’s insurance?
you: WWW public insurance
they: the next available appt is A MONTH from today
PRIVATE INSURANCE/​SELF PAY
you call in and say: I would like to scheudle appt
they: sure, what’s insurance?
you: XXXprivate insurance/​self pay
they: the next available appt is TOMORROW
I was trying to make appt for my aunt because she got refer to Dr. Cheung office, the first try I gave them my aunt health insurance and they told me they are fully booked for this month. So I hang up and talked with my aunt if she is willing to do a self pay, then on the next day I call them back and told them that my aunt will do a self-​pay then they told me the next available appt is tomorrow.
Even thought I am not their customer but by seeing and knowing how realistic they are it make me so upset and ASHAME for them. They are basically DISCRIMINATING lower income family.
ADVICE: so if you have a BAD insurance be ready to hear «next available appt is a month from today»

Unilocal is the reason why we decided to make an appointment with this doctor especially after seeing all those good reviews.
REALITY CHECK!!! This doctor’s office is small and congested. We had 4 appointments before we decided to call it quits. At every appointment, people were standing in the office with no place to sit. That wouldn’t be an issue if they called the patients in at their appointment time. But each and every time, we were called in 1 hour to 1.25 hours after our appointment.
So finally they call your name and you are relieved. But wait your husband is not allowed to go inside with you. WHAT? This is the only office where I have experience that. You husband is only allowed in usually after 20 min or so. Finally… the doctor comes in and you have questions. You better be quick… cuz she is always in a rush.
In our last appoinment, the doctor wanted us to get a test at her hospital. We did as she asked and when I called the doctor’s office a week later to get the result we had to make an appointment only for her to tell us a few words of the result of the test. She could have told her this over the phone… but we wasted another hour beyond our appointment time to get that simple info.
I WILL NEVER VISIT THIS OFFICE EVER AGAIN.

As a patient mainly seeking gynecological services, I have found that while Dr. Cheung herself is a kind and communicative woman, almost every other aspect of this practice is a nightmare. It’s nearly impossible to schedule an appointment – I’ve typically had to call up to 2 months in advance, the office doesn’t call beforehand to confirm the appointment, and upon arrival, I usually have to wait about an hour past my appointment before I am finally seen. The doctor herself is so busy with so many patients that out of 3 or 4 visits I have never had an appointment in which I spent more than 3 – 5 minutes’ time actually communicating with the doctor herself before she zipped out of the room to see her next patient.
The doctor herself is competent, knowledgeable, and non-​judging, but the way that the office is run makes it very clear that they are less concerned with quality care than they are with seeing a high volume of patients, and this leads to subpar service.

I wish there were negative stars.
I was there about a year ago, she got me into a treatment that hurt me, she prescribed me a cream that no other doctor would recommend. This cream caused a bad reaction on me private area, but when I went to see her, she just didn’t want to admit about the serious bad reactions that this cream is well known for, but she also made a wrong diagnosis, that even though the tests proved the opposite, she kept insisting she was right just to cover her bad judgement. Also, at the time of my visit I didn’t have health insurance, she cost me a lot of money between consultations, pills and creams, she didn’t solved any of the conditions for what I went to see her at the beginning, I walked out worst than I was, I really should sue her for MALPRACTICE.

Originally I picked dr. Cheung as my obgyn based on good reviews on google. I’m glad I picked her to take care of my whole maternity care along with delivering of the baby. She makes you feel at ease at every appointment, her bedside manner is excellent. I had a scheduled c section becuz my baby was breeched, she got the baby out within 15 min, then spend 45 min sewing me up. She also did my son’s circumcision, her hands are so quick, my son didn’t even cry. Highly recommend to friends n family. The only downside is that the wait at her office are generally 1 hr.

It s my first time here today. Pleasant experience except about 35mins waiting after my appoint time. But Dr Chung is very nice n good. Clear explanation of my conditions. She s very positive n convincing. I will definitely go back to her.

Dr. Cheung is just simply amazing. She explains everything– Including how you should check you breasts for a breast cancer. She is funny and understanding. She asks questions and puts her patients at ease. Visitng an OB-​GYN office is often uncomfortable but she made my visit super comfortable. I will never visit another obygyn.
Call ahead and ask for location — I have seen her at 132 – 26 AVERY!

Highly recommend Dr. Cheung. She spends as much time with you as you need and answers all your questions. Never feel rushed and she explains everything. She tells you in plain Engligh what is on the sonogram monitor. From 1^st appointment to post-​partum visit, she is the best. When the nurses and staff at NYHQ ask who the OB-​GYN is, they smile and compliment us for choosing Cindy saying we are in very good hands.
The wait to see her can be long, especially if she arrives late from the hospital and the receptionist could be a little more friendly. Sometimes, it is standing room only in the waiting room. However, I would not hesitate to recommend her or use her again after dealing with less than stellar OB-​GYNs.

I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Cheung! I was expecting to be nervous and dreading the visit, but after seeing her and the way she was, I was totally relieved and happy! She is sooo friendly and caring ~ you feel at ease right away. She does have a really sincere interest in her patients. This was my first time and I felt as though I was going there for years. I would highly recommend her to everyone of my female friends and family. She got a 5 stars review in my book!

Dr Cheung recently delivered my child. Over nine months I got to know her by going to appointments with my wife and every experience with her was excellent. When I found out my wife was pregnant I considered encouraging her to use a Lennox hill doctor my friends wife had used but after meeting her, I knew we were in good hands.
The delivery went smoothly and we now have a healthy little boy. When we would tell other nurses and doctors that our obgyn was Dr Cheung, they would all tell us that we were lucky. She’s a great doctor.

I «inherited» Dr. Cheung after my OB of many years retired and took over her location. Dr. Cheung is very friendly and takes time to explain everything you would like to know. She is professional and courteous. The waiting room is always full of patients waiting to see her. I really do think they need to schedule less appointments to avoid the long waiting time. No matter how early I arrive, there is always a wait. I keep going to her because she is great at what she does.

Dr. Cindy Cheung is by far one of the best OB/GYN’s I’ve had in the last five years. She is warm, attentive and caring about your concerns! She has always called within a few hours of my calling her with questions about test results or any other concerns I’ve had. Her bedside manner is excellent and I recommend her to anyone in the Queens area to pay her a visit!!!

Dr. Cindy Cheung is warm, attentive, takes time for you, makes house calls when you are waiting for important test results, wonderful human being and best gynecologist/​OBGYN for women. I will definitely continue to see her when I relocate to Boston, MA and when I decide to start a family. Once, I fell and scraped my leg going in for an exam, and Dr. Cheung bandaged up my gash even before giving a full examination. I give her the highest recommendation. She truly cares for her patients. Good women’s healthcare is few and far between.
