Dr. Lindsay Shawn Cheng, MD

About Me

I was born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia. I attended undergraduate school at nearby Virginia Tech, where I studied engineering science and mechanics. Then, I went to medical school, residency, and fellowship at the Medical College of Virginia (also known as Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine). There, I met my wife, Lili. We have one son, Andrew.

Why I Chose Medicine

I chose medicine as a career because the ability to make and keep people healthy is gratifying. My work helps allow people to enjoy living their lives and doing the things they like to do. In particular, I chose the specialty of radiology because radiology allows us to gain knowledge about disease processes in the most non-invasive way possible. Increasingly, technological advances have allowed us to view more and more details in the human body that were not possible in the past.

Why I Chose Kaiser Permanente

Practicing at Kaiser Permanente allows an efficient, team-oriented approach to taking …care of people, where doctors can work together to do what we feel is appropriate for the patients' health without the worries of business management and insurance paperwork.

Personal Interests

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and traveling. Having a family has made a little less time for things I used to do, but I still enjoy such things as running, rollerblading, and seeing the latest Hollywood blockbusters.
