She seemed to be in a huge hurry. She didn't look at me while talking, she was busy looking at her papers. Rude about the questions that I asked and wanted to do all of these invasive test on my newborn to rule out things that she said he probably didn't have in the first place. She said we would have to deal with the vomiting for years. She diagnosed him with a milk allergy without actually testing him for it! Bad experience, I cancelled all follow up appointments with her!

Worse bedside manner of any doctor I've ever visited! She would ask a question, then talk over you as you were trying to answer. She seemed unprepaired for the appointment - shuffling through papers and unaware of previous tests performed. She acted hurried and as though she didn't want to take the time to figure out the problem. She said, let's just run all the tests we have. I would NEVER recommend Dr. Cuevas to anyone!

We brought our two month old son for an apt. We waited a LONG time, and when she did come in, she was very short with us, generally unwilling to get the full history with him, and interrupted us several times. Then, after about 5 minutes, she said she wanted to hospitalize him and put him under anesthesia for several very invasive tests - then was obviously offended when we wanted to try a less aggressive course of treatment (switch formula and meds) first. When pressed about the necessity of the tests, she kept saying it was to provide "evidence" that she could rule out an issue that she didnt think he was having in the first place!

Dr. Cuevas ordered a number of extensive and invasive tests for my daughter, who is a toddler. She then diagnosed her with lactose intolerance. The funny thing is that records show that my daughter was never tested for lactose intolerance. She's also very impatient with questions and is rude and defensive.
