Patient Reviews
Aug 30, 2016
One of the best doctors I've ever had. Having serious medical issues (Lupus) the care Dr. Cheema exhibited was by far the best. She made me feel comfortable and a priority. Communication outside of office visits were prompt. I always spoke with her. After I would do my labs, she always went over them verbally to ensure I understood. There were a couple of times where a needed emergency visits, always fit me in. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cheema to anyone dealing with any kidney problems.
