Dr Cheung’s Patient Philosophy

Advanced Care. To ensure patients obtain longevity, health and wellbeing by offering safe and advanced techniques in a multidisciplinary environment.

Timely Care. If a patient has an urgent diagnosis, priority access to a specialist breast surgeon is critical in alleviating distress caused by theunknown. Dr Cheung will see urgent patients promptly with a call from a GP.

Innovative care. As head of the Breast and Endocrine Unit at Nepean Hospital, Dr Cheung was given the opportunity to develop the unit which now enjoys one of the highest rates of immediate breast cancer reconstruction in the world today. This procedure is regarded as a gold standard treatment for mastectomy or partial mastectomy, because there is only one procedure instead of two, and one lot of recovery instead of two.

3D technology. For cosmetic patients, Dr Cheung has extensive experience in the use of focused breast Ultrasound and 3D Vectra body scanning. This is a computer simulation of what your new breasts will look like to ensure meticulous, accurate and precise planning. Dr Cheung can also perform screening assessments of your existing implants for your peace of mind in her rooms. If you do not know what type of implants you have this does not matter.
