“If you are looking for a new spot to have microneedling done, nurse Kevin at Cheng Plastic Surgery is your guy! I have had microneedling done by Kevin twice and both times he has been incredibly warm and friendly. He also explains every step in detail and never makes you feel like he’s doing you a favor by doing his job. I also really appreciate that he’s honest and doesn’t try to sell you on lasers and tightening treatments you ask for if he doesn’t think your skin is mature enough for it yet. My skin always looks fresh and glowy. Skinspirit estheticians/nurses have nothing on Kevin at Cheng and that’s on PERIODT.”
“Dr. Albert Cheng and staff have been absolutely amazing from the beginning of this journey. I had lower blepharoplasty done back in April of 2026 after dealing with eye bags since the age of 13. I was seeking a very natural change and Dr. Cheng delivered just that. Post op has gone very smooth. The doctor and staff were available for any concerns I had even after hours so never did I feel lost. His staff from reception, OR nurses and medical assistants have been the best in the business. They show real care for their patients. Worth every dollar. Highly recommend!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Elbert Cheng and his team. During our first consultation I expressed how my sagging eyelids were causing a lot of problems such as vision problems and irritated skin. Dr. Cheng was very professional and had a great bedside manner. He explained different treatment options in great detail and how he would perform each surgery. During the pre-op appointment the clinic gave me all the necessary meds, ointments, creams, and instructions of how to take care of my eyes after surgery in detail. Ultimately I decided to do both upper blepharoplasty and browplasty and I'm glad I did both because the results have been life changing. Within a few weeks after surgery I no longer had irritated and pussy skin where the eyelids sagged and had better vision. Dr. Cheng made sure that all my questions and concerns were addressed during the first few weeks of post-op since my eyes were still in the healing phase where I had vision changes and swelling. During my one month post op appointment I asked how one of the eyelids was more swollen than the other and he explained how he performed my surgery for each eye a bit differently due to them being different sizes and reassured me that over time they'll look similar. And now being 3 month post op thankfully both of my eyes look very similar to each other with very minimal swelling and scars. I'm very satisfied with how everything turned out and am grateful for this experience with Dr. Cheng and his amazing team. Also the clinic is immaculate, great decor and bathrooms smell amazing. Highly recommend.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Elbert Cheng and his entire team! Everyone was exceptionally kind, sweet, and welcoming throughout the process, which made me feel comfortable and well cared for. Dr. Cheng is extremely skilled, patient, and detail oriented, and I am beyond happy with how beautifully my surgery turned out. The results are exactly what I was hoping for and more. I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Cheng and his team to anyone considering a procedure with them!”
“I had an amazing experience from start to finish! Elizabeth and Sky at the front desk were so friendly and welcoming, and Celeste, the medical assistant, was so kind and made me feel comfortable. Kevin, the nurse practitioner, was professional, knowledgeable, and did an incredible job with my Masseter Botox. I absolutely love my results and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”
