Dr Cheng works hard to take good care of me and works hard to get others to cooperate. I have been coming to see Dr Cheng for my Executive physical since 2014. There is a reason why I continue to trust and rely on her.

I'm a huge fan of Dr. Cheng. That's why I've been coming back to NM Exec Health for over a decade, even after moving from Chicago to San Diego in 2019. Cathy is everything you want in a doctor. Compassionate, diligent, explains things that you don't have to be a doctor to understand, responsive to my concerns and a wonderful human. She really is one of your All-Stars.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
