Dr. Aaron Cheng and Dr. Beverly Khodra have joined the Miramar Health Center in Kennewick.
Cheng received his doctor of osteopathic medicine from Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine in Henderson, Nev.
“Growing up a national athlete and working with osteopathic physicians led him to learn about the human body, medicine, and how he might use that knowledge to help his community,” said a Miramar release.
He especially enjoys working with teens who may struggle with body dysmorphia, said the release.
Khodra received her doctor of medicine from the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle.
She became interested in health care growing up in an underserved community, said Miramar.
“Seeing how medicine and quality care impacted her loved ones inspired her work in health care,” said the release.
