About Dr. Cherng
I’m honored to be a part of the Valley Health System team as a radiation oncologist specializing in Gamma Knife radiosurgery. My approach to care is centered on personalization—every patient and their family has unique needs, and I’m committed to listening closely to understand what matters most to you. I believe that effective treatment goes beyond just technology; it’s about compassionate communication and tailoring each plan to fit your individual situation.
At Valley, we combine the latest advances in Gamma Knife technology with a patient-first mindset. I’m passionate about using these leading-edge techniques to provide safe, precise, and minimally invasive treatments that help improve quality of life. But what truly sets our program apart is the collaborative environment—we work hand-in-hand with skilled neurosurgeons and a multidisciplinary team to ensure your care is seamless, coordinated, and comprehensive.
Being part of this team means I can deliver not only expert treatment but also the support and understanding every patient deserves.
