He earned a Bachelor of Science in Zoology and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. Upon receiving his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Temple University in Philadelphia, he then completed a one-year podiatric internship in New York City followed by a three-year reconstructive foot & ankle surgical residency in Los Angeles.

Dr. Cheng's training encompassed all aspects of trauma and reconstructive surgery of the forefoot, rearfoot, and ankle as well as sports medicine, diabetic limb salvage, and wound care. He continues to attend actively and participate in surgical training courses offered all around the country as part of his ongoing efforts to update on the latest skills, knowledge, and technology.

Dr. Cheng once served as an attending for the 3-year podiatric medical & surgical residency training program based out of Huntsville Regional Medical Center in Greenville, Texas.

Dr. Cheng will always approach treatment in a conservative manner until it is either exhausted or when surgery is determined to be the best viable option. New technologies will always be introduced and implemented as part of his practice. He is a dedicated doctor whose philosophy to patient care is "patients are family" and healing begins with compassion and communication. Only then will the patient and doctor be partners on the road to ambulatory wellness.
