About Me
Jerry Cheng, M.D. is a pediatric hematologist-oncologist who specializes in pediatric bone marrow transplants. He is also a member of the City of Hope/Kaiser Bone Marrow Transplantation Team. As a blood and cancer specialist for children, he says he has the privilege of getting to work with patients and their families.

Cheng works with a team of oncologists, pharmacists, nurse coordinators, pediatric nurses, social workers and medical assistants to provide the best care possible. He says that good communication is essential to their success. Cheng believes in treating the whole patient, not just the disease, and says that to him, mind, body and spirit are one.

Cheng went to medical school at University of California, Irvine and completed his pediatric residency and internship at UCLA Medical Center. His fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology was also completed at the same institution.

Born and raised in Oahu, Hawaii, Cheng left the island life behind him after high school, though he still returns annually to enjoy the nice weather and kind people. When he’s not at work, he enjoys spending time with his family, exercising and 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.
