Dr. Cuervo is absolutely amazing!! I'm a new patient of his and I couldn't be more blessed to call him my Oncologist. The moment he walked in the room, I immediately felt comfortable. He's extremely kind, compassionate, and answers every question to where I understand. He's also very thorough. I've had to reach out to him several times via telephone and he always responds quicky and is so easy to talk to. I had to go to the ER and he came over twice to see him. He timely truly cares about his patients. I'll never forget him saying "I treat the patient, not the cancer". I love that! A small town hospital is so blessed to have him. Thank you! Anna Duncan

with out a doubt the best Doctor I have ever met. He spent an hour and a half with me on my initial consultation. He was kind compassionate and to the point. He answered all my questions and even gave me his personal cell number if I had any additional questions.

Went to Dr Cuervo for several years and he always had time to answer all my questions and double check anything I needed to know. He had also worked with several friends and family everyone loves hm that I know that has gone to him. He just will take the time that you feel you have been heard.
