Dr Cheung grew up in Sydney and graduated from the University of Sydney in 1993. She followed her father’s footsteps to become a surgeon but chose to specialize in breast surgery as she saw that was her calling. Having a deep fascination with medical science and art from a young age, Dr Cheung believes that breast surgery offers her the right mix that enables unsurpassable career satisfaction.

She obtained her surgical fellowship from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2001 and over the last 20 years has enjoyed engaging and working with women.  She finds breast surgery especially rewarding. In her own words, “Growing up with only sisters, I am naturally a woman’s advocate. I feel extremely privileged to be able to offer a positive and tangible impact in my patient’s lives. I cannot think of doing anything else but what I am doing each and every day, to help patients feel better about their health, aiming for cure, or improving their self esteem.”

Throughout her career, Dr Cheung is involved in research and teaching at the University of Sydney as well as Macquarie University. Her breast unit has reported one of the highest rates of immediate breast reconstruction at the prestigious San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in 2016.

Her research and clinical practice is focused and dedicated to the multidisciplinary delivery of the most up to date, evidence-based, and individualized treatments to her patients.

In her spare time, Dr Cheung enjoys spending time with her family in the outdoors, and when she has the odd spare moments to herself, she enjoys immersing herself in visual arts.
