Dr. Dianne Soukfun Cheung, MD

After visiting several Endocrinologists for my Hashi's throughout the years, upon meeting with Dr. Cheung, I knew I had finally found "The One". She is supremely well-informed. very thorough and always goes the extra mile. For example, she does her own in-house ultrasounds so that she can see what's going on for herself, whereas my previous doctors always outsourced the tests and interpretation. She also brings up things I haven't even thought to ask, for example, going gluten-free, taking vitamin D, things I had MEANT to ask but forgotten. Dr. Cheung is amazing. She even called me personally to deliver recent test results, whereas most doctors would simply have their staff call. These are just a few examples of what makes Dr. Cheung so special.

Overworked to the point of misdiagnosis. Followed up with 2 other doctors who confirmed her wrong diagnosis.

Dr. was rude and short. She was not very empathic.

It is interesting that most of the positive reviews were from 2010 or so. Maybe from when she first started and had better bedside manners. I saw Dr Cheung a couple of months ago and she ordered blood work and asked me to call back the next day. I did but I did not hear back from her. I then called again the following day and left a second message. A few hours later her staff called to say the doctor had left for the weekend and would call me back on Monday. I think that is poor communication.

She may be a great doctor for other metabolic disorders, but I found her very lacking in my hypothyroidism case. I saw her for more than a year, and my symptoms never improved. Every office visit, I told her I felt the same, which was not horrible, just tired. She prescribed several medications, but the only one I liked was Armour. She strongly advised against it, and said my labs were below what they should be so she prescribed something else instead of lowering the dosage. Once my labs stabilized, I thought my symptoms would improve, but they never did. I started to get irregular heartbeats, but she just dismissed that. Her office staff is not very good either. I came in for an appointment, and they told me that I didn't have an appointment. I brought out the appointment card which stated that I did, in fact, have an appointment, and they "squeezed me in." I, also, asked them to fax the pharmacy a prescription. It took five days, with me calling every other day, for the… pharmacy to finally get it. There was, also, a problem with the billing. After they changed to UCLA, the price went up $40 for an office visit without them letting me know that there would be a price increase. I definitely did not have a good experience with Dr. Cheung.

Definitely would not see her again.

Dr. Cheung is caring, thorough & diagnosed my health issues immediately. I have recommended her to several friends & will continue to.

Genuine concern for my overall progress. Kind & caring doctor who is up on the latest in treatment. I would highly recommend her.

She is very helpful, and knowledgeable. She has my medications perfect, and I am doing much better since I started with her. Staff is fabulous!

Great Doctor. She even calls me at home to check on, or give information on my care. A truly knowledgeable Doctor who gives the type of care it's hard to find today.
