Raizel J Cheng, PA-C, BS, MS

Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I come from a family of medical professionals and knew early on that I wanted to be a part of it. My sister is a physician assistant and introduced me to this amazing medical career. It was a few years later that my dad needed medical care and had a phenomenal physician assistant as part of his team, which only solidified my admiration and desire for this profession.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I love connecting with my patients. I want them to be able to meet me and know that they are in a safe environment where they can feel comfortable so we can work together on improving their health and well-being.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I spend a lot of my time with my family and am a full-time aunt. We are constantly getting together to enjoy our favorite Filipino meals as well as laughing so hard that the kids want us to be quiet. I play in recreational soccer leagues so that I can try and relive my middle school team days. When I'd rather just hang at home you'll find me cuddled up with a blanket playing board games, reading fiction, and watching TV shows.
