Dr. David Charles Cuellar, MD

Dozens of calls and messages and 5 days in I still can not get my surgery scheduled. As if the prospect of having surgery to remove my kidney wasn't stressful enough.

Can't get a call back from the appointment setter

Dr. Cuellar was friendly and confident. That confidence helped us in dealing with the surgery. Going into my first meeting I was concerned about Da Vinci robot assisted surgery. He explained the advantages over conventional laparoscopy. He also told us that he had 11 years experience doing robot assisted surgery. The kidney surgery was for the removal of a small tumor. Beofre the surgery Dr. Cuellar was able to diagnose the likelihood of it being cancerous at 90 to 95% from looking at the CT scan and the sonogram. This helped us make the decision to have the surgery. The pathology report indicated that he was correct. He recommended followup with an oncologist.

My father had several surgeries performed by Dr. Cuellar back in the mid 2000's. After the first surgery, my father was always having pain and he just didn't feel right. A year after the first surgery he started to have the same symptoms he had before(blood in urine). He went back to Dr. Cuellar and he went back into surgery. Once again my father did not feel well, and again his symptoms reoccurred again. He asked me to find him another Doctor. I researched and found a Dr. John Williamson with a lot more experience than Cuellar. My father went into surgery for the third time and after talking to him a couple days later, he finally said he felt 100% better and till this day he still feels great with no occurring symptoms. So if you want something done right the first time go with someone with more experience. I will never recommend Dr. Cuellar.

Great doctor. He truly cares. Very good at what he does. He performed DaVici surgery to remove my cancerous prostate. The scary thing about prostatectomies is that you might not have urinary control and ability to function sexually. Dr. Cuellar's expertise got the job done with none of the scary side effects. He has taken much interest in follow up after surgery for two years. He is the best!

Excellent doctor. I had prostatectomy over a year ago, using da Vinci robot. Both doctor and Hospital provided excellent care from start to finish. Excellent results, quick healing, and good follow up. I would highly recommend to anyone needing this treatment for prostate cancer
