I love her!!! She takes her time to explaining the side affects of the medication I was using. She cares.
She has an extensive background in different fields of study that helps answer my questions.
Not very personable. Never has asked if I have any concerns. Have had two appointments and never have been examined. Take medication for cholesterol but was not ordered with my lab. I asked to have it checked. I have been borderline diabetes. I asked for the that to be added to my blood work and it wasn’t. I addressed it with Dr cuevas said she would check next time. I do not feel my healthcare is not as thorough as before with Dr Tarver. Had issues with refill of my medication. Supposedly miscommunication. I addressed it. But was meant to feel it was on my part the problem. I am having to pay for a refill because of this when I get my medication free. And Dr Cuevas had no remorse. Her response is it’s not very expensive. The issue is I shouldn’t have had to spend any money. I’m not sure if I want to continue my care with Dr Cuevas. Feel my care is very much different from Dr Tarver.
Dr. Cuevas is a very friendly and knowledgeable doctor. I am very happy with the care I have received.
Good bedside manner. She seems to want to address all my health issues. This doctor is new to me, so we shall see! Fingers crossed.
She is the best Dr.i've had.I give her a 100%.😀
Always detailed in her care with me. Love her energy, I love having her as a doctor.
Made me comfortable on my first visit. Explained slowly to where I understood. From the time I walked in I was greeted with a smile.
Absolutely love my PCP!! Patient, well informed, caring, approachable…loves her profession and is awesome at it!!
She is awesome
