About Me
Jee Won Cheong, D.O., prizes his role as an advocate for cancer patients, as well as the rapport that he builds with patients and their families. He chose to specialize in palliative and supportive care medicine because of the direct impact he has on care. Knowing that cancer treatment can be an arduous journey with many ups and downs, Dr. Cheong aims to help patients use the medical information they receive to make decisions that best align with their values and goals.
 
After years of volunteering in different health care settings, he earned his degree as an osteopath from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. He then completed a residency in family medicine at Rowan University in New Jersey and a fellowship in hospice and palliative medicine at Univeristy of California Los Angeles. 

Raised in Southern California and fluent in Korean, Dr. Cheong is an avid sports fan who enjoys playing golf.
Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
