Robin Cheng, MD

Robin Cheng, MD, is a urologic surgeon who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive system. He performs surgeries and procedures to deliver immediate, meaningful health improvements. He also provides comprehensive nonsurgical urologic care. One of the most rewarding parts of his work is witnessing the satisfaction and relief patients feel after treatment.

Dr. Cheng believes in a personal, compassionate approach. He takes time to communicate clearly with patients and their families. "These open conversations ensure everyone understands the condition and feels empowered during the treatment process," he explains. "Together, we make shared decisions and create a care plan that reflects each patient's goals and values."

El Camino Health has been a part of Dr. Cheng's medical journey from the start. As an auxiliary volunteer in high school, he admired the organization's innovative spirit and deep commitment to serving the Bay Area. He returned as a physician to continue that mission by staying at the forefront of urology and delivering high-quality, community-based care.

During his training, Dr. Cheng conducted research on cancer biology, immunotherapy and the use of ultra-low-dose CT scans to detect kidney stones. More recently, he has evaluated the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots in answering patients' urological questions. He has also published a case report on urological trauma.

Dr. Cheng is a member of the American Urological Association (AUA) and the Society of Chinese American Physician Entrepreneurs (SCAPE). He is fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

Outside of work, Dr. Cheng enjoys spending time with his family and dog, swimming, reading historical nonfiction and hiking scenic trails around the Bay Area.
