Don't go to this Dr. Almost lost my life because him. He was more afraid of getting his suit dirty. I had over 20 pints of blood in the 6 months I saw him.

My primary complaint regarding appointments is location. I live in Sparks and there is only one day a week to see Dr. Perez unless you want to drive all the way to Carson City. While getting chemo treatments in Sparks, I would have to drive the next day to Carson City to receive my shot for neutropina. Not fun when you don't feel well. His staff is excellant and very caring and informative. Dr. Perez does not seem to be able to answer some questions or concerns regarding other conditions I feel may be related to side effects since I've completed my chemo and suggests I see my primary care physician.

My father saw Dr. Perez and was treated rudely when he couldn't understand Perez's very thick accent. We were there for over 2 hours just to find out they couldn't do anything for him. The bill was outrageous and it was just a regular doctors office, NOT A REAL CANCER CENTER...
