I was recently diagnosed with cancer. From the moment I was scheduled for my first appointment, Dr. Cheruku has been amazing! I am thankful he listened to my concerns and was so understanding of my fears. He was able to explain my type of cancer, options available and where to seek the best treatment. Dr. Cheruku was so kind and soft spoken, he was so caring! The plus factor in going to him is his office staff! Each one is caring and makes you feel you are loved. Yes! Cancer is scary, but this doctor and his staff have given me excellent care and hope! Thankful they are on this journey with me...

I was recently diagnosed with an oral cancer and Dr Cheruku was recommended to me. He took time to explain the diagnosis, the treatment plan and the probable outcome. I found him to be engaging, straightforward and VERY competent. I highly recommend Dr Cheruku if you have a need for an Oncologist.

He is not a very compassionate doctor. Bad bed side manner. If he does not feel like some one does not have a quality of life he will not treat them

He is one of the best doctors I have seen. He takes time to listen to your concerns and he explains everything in detail. I would recommend him to anyone.
