Meet Dr. Jane A. Keng
As a gastroenterologist, Dr. Keng believes the watchwords for effective diagnosis and successful treatment are persistence and perseverance. If a cause or solution is not found quickly or easily, the search for answers becomes the kind of challenge that Dr. Keng embraces.
Dr. Keng knew as a freshman in high school that she wanted to be a doctor. Through teaching Sunday school, she learned that she enjoyed working with children. So at an early age, the path to pediatrics was clear.
She has been active in Orphan Outreach, which gave her the opporutunity to visit northern India in both a medical and mission capacity. Her trip was only 10 days, but she wished it could have been longer. She didn't even mind the 12 hour bus ride, which was worth every minute when they arrived to a clinic of what Dr. Keng calls "the happiest children I have ever met."
She brings that same passion to caring for kids she sees at Cook Children's. In her office she has a collection of letters from former patients once in her care who have written to report on their progress. In her free time you'll find her in the garden planting, in the kitchen cooking or with her family simply relaxing.

Dr. Keng was the one who referred us to the pain Management department. I really love how departments are working together. Dr. Keng was wonderful. She was really trying to figure out what is wrong with my daughter. She is having problems and we just can figure out what is causing them.

We had a very good experience with Dr. Keng. She went over my daughter's medical records and told us things we didn't know about her hospital stay in October. We appreciate all the time she spent with us. She listened to our concerns and was very helpful and informative. She is one of best doctors we have seen. I would definitely recommend her to others.

The phlebotomy tech was particularly very good. She had a very calming presence and there were no tears while my son had his blood drawn. Additionally I appreciated the time Dr. Keng took in explaining options to get more information about our concerns. She was very willing to explain and suggest things to do to get more data about what was going on.

For the first time since my son was born I felt like my concerns were being listened to and taken seriously. I cannot express how comforting that feeling is. Your staff was friendly. The doctor was to the point and serious but I could tell she was concerned for my child and intended to get to the root of the problem. I could not have asked for better service.

She was so nice and caring, she spoke to (patient) and I and and explained everything. She gave great examples for the child to relate to what she is wanting her to do for treatment. We just loved her for it being our first time to see this doctor.

Tammy, Dr. Keng's nurse. She was amazing at answering all of my questions after the physician left the room. She was very self-explanatory about tests that were going to be ordered. She also went over and above to give me information I needed for the tests that were going to be ordered.

Dr Keng is amazing she goes above and beyond. My daughter is seen by several specialists in the Cooks group, but Dr Keng is the only one who is truly working so hard to figure out what is going on. Her main nurse Tammy is also fabulous she is always very helpful, returns phone calls quickly and is always willing to help. This office is amazing.
