Van Cheng, M.D.

Dr. Van Cheng graduated from Harvard with highest honors and training in surgery at UCSF.  She was then named the first Phlebology fellow in the United States, through the UCSD/Scripps fellowship. 

Dr. Cheng is one of just a few Southern Californian doctors to be a member of both the American College of Phlebology, which focuses on the treatment of varicose vein problems, and the American Venous Forum, the nation's most prestigious organization dedicated to the study of venous disorders. 

In 2007, Dr. Cheng was awarded the ACP Walter deGroot Award for excellence in phlebology. She lectures nationally to physicians, and has published many articles on the treatment of varicose veins and other vein disorders.  Dr. Cheng has written a definitive book on Foam Sclerotherapy that was published in 2008 (Royal Society Med press).   

Dr. Cheng is a member of the San Diego County Medical society and is currently a Clinical Instructor of Surgery at UCSD.  She specializes in treating all vein problems without surgery.  Her experienced techniques have proven to be first rate, even for spider veins, unsightly hand and temple veins, varicose veins and the most advanced forms of venous insufficiency.

In 2008, the San Diego Business Journal honored her with the Women Who Mean Business Award. Dr. Cheng thanked all her patients for nominating her for this prestigious recognition.
