Cheang Jonathan MD

One of the best Psychiatrists that I have ever meet!
& that is saying alot, since I have meet hundreds!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before you judge, at least one in four people, should get Mental
Health help in there lifetimes… especially with the huge increase
in stress at work & home… so do not be shy :)
This MD knows his stuff, has a great bedside manner, and is quite
booked. He & his wife share the practice & their converted house
is quite welcoming, as is their staff.
Since I am in the field, I do know he keeps his medical knowledge
up to date & I value his opinion.
He has also helped me deal
get thru some really big life stressors… like me having major spine
surgery, dealing with my physical handicaps, caregivers burnout
with my wife getting cancer, the passing of my parents, and the
malignant work that I must deal with.
Since I moved away from Modesto a few years ago, I still make
a special trip from Pismo Beach (4hrs one way) & stay overnight
to see him & other great clinicians in the area (Dr. Sulak– Dentist
& Dr. Jakubowski– Rehab & Physical Medicine). I have yet to find
anybody who comes close to these guys in my area.
It is ironic that I go to modest Modesto of all places… in the past,
I found that the MDs that I saw in the SF Bay Area nowhere near
as good in their fields… also the waits are far shorter in Modesto.
For example, I have now waited several months & counting to
see a new GI MD in LA’s Cedar-​Sinai… which is ridiculous!
The last time I flew to UCLA to see the Chief of Neurosurgery,
it was not too helpful… so I then went to UCSF for a Orthopedic
eval…then surgery.
In this day & age, you must have a PPO, so that you can find the
best somewhere else… and they are unlikely to be in an nearby HMO
group.
Now that can drive you batty! :)
