Dr. Elbert Cheng is a SCOUNDREL and a CON-MAN! Stay away from him! I had the most horrific experience with this so called doctor. I can only write so much in here with my experience but know that if you are reading one complaint like this should be a huge red flag for you to go else where. I don't enjoy writing anything negative but as a good citizen I felt compelled that others should know so that you're not a victim as I have. I will try to make my story short so most details will be left out. I first saw the ad in free local magazine and wanted to have my acne scar removed from my nose and Dr. E. Cheng came across as a very cordial friendly doctor and he did a great job in removing the scar on my nose but what happened there after was the nightmare for me. I merely asked him about the slight puffiness and dark circle beneath my eyes so I wanted to see if he could recommend some cream but he persistently kept saying I should get a surgery. He kept saying that it's going to get worse! He went on to say to have it done as soon as possible when I can clearly see that it wasn't that bad at all. I even had a second opinion from another plastic surgeon, and he said it's normal since I've been stressed out lately and that it's just fluid retention that it will go away gradually when I get some rest. I didn't believe this other surgeon since I didn't have any rapport with him. I went back to Dr. Cheng and told him I'd think about the surgery but he kept saying to hurry! And that he would make me look 80% better! Now, there was no reason to doubt him since he did a good job on my nose and he's a Medical Doctor. He made the surgery called blepharoplasty as though it's a routine thing and that I should get it done before I get old. So again, I thought about it and finally decided to do it. Just before the surgery when he was about to cut me open he asked me if I wanted to have the upper eyelid done as well and I said no I couldn't afford it. But my thought was why is he asking me to have that done when he should be concentrating on the actual surgery. To make long story short whatever he did now my lower eye lid looks like someone who aged 10 years. It is now 100% puffier all around the lower eyelids as though there's a permanent bags with "U" shape instead of just slight puffiness around the bridge of the nose like it was before surgery. I asked to him to fix this problem but he said that bleparoplasty is not recommended and that I shouldn't have had the surgery in the first place!!!?? This after he kept pushing me to have this surgery done and now that he didn't do the job to which he was paid to perform, he had the audacity to tell me that this surgery Blepharoplasty is not recommened?? When he was the one who recommended it!! He even took my 200 deposit for the revision that he said he would repair the problem, but after taking my money he started telling me it's too dangerous to do the revision surgery! So I asked for the deposit back and he wouldn't! I went back to the other plastic surgeon who recommend me against the surgery and he was shocked to see me what had happened. And that he couldn't fix it since he doesn't know what Dr. Cheng actually did. But he was shocked with his jaw opened. I realized, looking in the mirror, all Cheng did was cut me open and manipulated the muscle tissues to make it look more puffy rather than removing the fat tissue as blepharoplasty should be. I asked him again and he used the before/after photo and shrunk down to smaller size and used the bigger after photo to make a comparison as though he's insulting my intelligence. This is just one of many sneaky things he pulled on me. There were so many things that he lied to me after this horrific surgery. I even tried to report him to the Medical board but they were flaky and didn't even ask for the before and after photo before making a final decision in favor of Dr. Cheng. I again submited the photos and I haven't heard anything back yet. I made a mistake in not suing Dr. Cheng with a professional doctor by my side. Again, if you are current patient of his or thinking about going to see him. Do yourself a favor and stay away. There are many many other doctors out there who never got this kind of complaints. Even his sister, Jacquelyn who is also a doctor was rude and bias when I consulted her about this problem. There are so many lies I caught Dr. Cheng said and other sneaky things he said to me that was blatanly false. In summary, I want the readers to know that this isn't about the horrible job Dr. Cheng did that I'm complaining but it is about how he manipulated and coerced me with his MD status. Elbert Cheng is a modern day CON-MAN with no integrity and scruples! The way he went back and forth with his words indicates either this man is mentally unstable or just so arrogant that he thinks whatever he does is right and everyone else who complains about his work is wrong. Don't let his friendliness fool you into his service. There are many great doctors out there with true integrity and values so do your research but may God be my witness that Elbert Cheng is a SNEAKY MANIPULATIVE CROOK so stay away from this so called "doctor" Elbert Cheng!
