Biography

“Eating and nourishing our body is not only a necessary part of living but also a joyful part of it. When there is digestive discomfort or malfunction, it can negatively affect many different aspects of a child's life. I love working with families to help their child feel and function better.”

Dr. Cheng is the medical director of the Atrium Health Levine Children’s Feeding Center, the director of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Jeff Gordon Children’s Center and chief of the Department of Pediatrics at Atrium Health Cabarrus.
