About Me

Karen Cheng, M.D., is an assistant professor of radiation oncology at both City of Hope® | Riverside and San Bernardino Radiation Oncology, where she brings clinical expertise, compassion and cultural sensitivity to her work with every patient.

Dr. Cheng was inspired to pursue a career in health care because it combined her interests in bioengineering and health care technology with her desire to serve her community. She received her medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine, then went on to complete an internship in internal medicine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens, New York, and a residency in radiation oncology at University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center, where she also served as chief resident.

Given her commitment to developing new technologies in the field of radiation oncology, Dr. Cheng was drawn to City of Hope’s reputation for exceptional patient care, as well as its legacy of developing leading-edge clinical trials.

Dr. Cheng has multiple peer-reviewed publications in the field of radiation oncology, including a book chapter on the treatment of pineal region tumors. Her work has been recognized by a number of awards and accolades, including the American College of Radiation Oncology Excellence in Mentorship Award, the Keck School of Medicine DEI Leaders Scholarship and the Boston University School of Medicine Anne and David Mischel Cancer Research Award. In addition to English, she speaks Mandarin, Taiwanese and some Spanish.

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.
