Dr. Theresa Cheng is a Periodontist and a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Washington, Department of Periodontics. She retired from private practice after 30 years and started teaching.
Dr. Cheng grew up in Borneo, Malaysia, the fifth of six children. Looking out for your neighbors and giving back were pretty well ingrained in her upbringing. Dr. Cheng felt very fortunate to be able to improve the lives of others. Since 2008, Dr. Cheng has provided free dental care to veterans and their families and founded a nonprofit called Everyone For Veterans which connects people and businesses to help veterans, including free dental care, across the country.
