In 2011 Dr. Feng developed a line of healthy plant-based foods under the name, FengFit™ Plant-Based Cuisine. All surgery patients receive one quart of Dr. Feng’s highly nutritious fresh soups of the day along with Dr. Feng’s Signature Salad upon discharge from the facility following their procedure.
