Zheng Weiwen, MD

This is not like the fancy medical facility I have on site at work. It’s really a no frills, straight up Chinatown facility that serves mostly elderly Chinese folks… so of course English is their second language, but wow some reviewers are really mean about it. They do speak English and understand quite well. Anyhoo, Dr. Zheng is my go to doctor when I get the flu/​infection because she can usually take patients same day, unlike most other places where you wait until you die the next week to see a doctor. She’s also very nice and compassionate, and I never feel rushed and ignored for my concerns. I saw her quite often when I had my crazy annoyingly huge tonsils, which got infected all the time, and she would prescribe the appropriate antibiotics. If you have a serious medical condition, you might want to go to UCSF and see a specialist. But if you are looking for a quick and easy, no frills, convenient family practitioner, Dr. Zheng is a great choice.
Tip: I discovered a small hole in the wall Chinese bento place outside the same building: soup, rice and you can pick 3 dishes and for like $ 3!!! It was super tasty Chinese home cooking, and I always stop by when I go to see Dr. Zheng :)

I have had Dr. Zheng as my regular doctor for years. She is professional, kind, funny and efficient. I have been responding to her medicine and referred specialists very well! Yes, the office is not fancy and there’s usually a wait even when you have made an appointment. I am used to it as I am Chinese and go on days when I don’t have a busy schedule. If you are looking for Americanized doctors who own a nice looking office, who are super friendly, can sweet talk/​babysit, she’s not the one for you. But if you are looking for a doctor who can get the job done, she has totally gained my trust.

I don’t actually know if Dr Zheng is a good doctor or not for the simple reason that I never managed to get an appointment on the few occasions that I have been sick. The office either does not answer the phone or answers it in Chinese, which I don’t speak. As for scheduling a routine check up, I once managed to get through to an English speaking receptionist who flatly told me it wouldn’t be possible before 6 – 8 weeks.
Good thing I am not sick very often, but I am tired of this ridiculous care system that American still don’t want to change. Sigh…

Horrible and incompetent STAFF! medical rep named Jenny does not know who to request an auth? she also said that she does not have a manager and is just two of them in the office! i feel so sorry for their patients!

dr. zheng is very patient and is a very good doctor. the clinic is not fancy, but i don’t care. what i care is a good, professional, smart doctor.

Dr Zheng is the best doctor in town. Because I had gout, diabetes, hypertension. She treated me with all disease perfectly with very minimal medications. I would be highly recommend Dr Zheng to everyone
She has a very friendly and nice receptionist named Jenny. Dr Zheng care my disease she checked my Labs with every single items. The best doctor office in San francisco.
Also Dr Zheng treat my friend’s grand father with stroke. He was seeing all kinds of cardiologist and no one can help him. I kept seeing him getting worst and worst. So I refer him to go see Dr Zheng and now able to walk on the street without any help. Dr Zheng is showing me her magic for how to treating a patient.
Finally I want t say a million thank you to the best MD Dr Zheng in San Francisco.
This office is clean and looks very very professional.

The clinic looks dirty. I expect a medical facility to be clean.
Dr. Weiwen doesn’t smile and has a poor bedside manner.
When I told her one of the medications I was taking, she didn’t know what it was. Maybe English is her second language?

OMG they need to fire that mean receptionist in the front named Jenny. She is moody and ill mannered to guest. Menopause has taken its toll on her! She is slow and doesn’t know how to do anything. RUDE RUDE RUDE. SHE NEEDS TO GO!

She is horrible.
Go somewhere else.

normally I wouldn’t write a review for my doctor, but when I saw Anita S.‘s stinging review I felt compelled to offer a different person’s experience with Dr. Zheng… (update: anita’s review has been removed, but i am still leaving my comment to her — see letter c bullet at bottom)
Dr. Zheng was my doctor for 2 years, and since I was an investment banker at the time, I would often ignore simple colds/​flus until a few all-​nighters would morph them into un-​ignorable situation. As a consequence, I saw Dr. Zheng more than the average gal, and every time I showed up in a miserable pathetic situation, she would take care of me and get me back on track (and of course each dose of medicine came with a «get more sleep!» scolding).
Dr. Zheng was kind, professional, thorough and approachable when I had questions, and I never once had any problem getting in to see her when I needed a same day appointment (muy importante for a banker!). An added bonus is that she was right up the street from the transamerica building where I worked. Her office is in an older china town building, and the waiting area is not fancy-​pants, but for me, that isn’t a priority. I agree that the receptionist’s english isn’t fantastic, but I wouldn’t call it broken and I myself have never had any misunderstandings in the many times I called for appointments and advice.
I would recommend Dr. Zheng for anyone who:
a) lives/​works nearby, is in need of a conveniently-​located, no-​nonsense doctor who takes care of you when you need it
b) doesn’t need fancy doctors offices to feel comfortable.
c) doesn’t judge the quality of service by whether or not someone is wearing a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt (retarded or otherwise)
