Sierra Nevada Cancer Center opens cancer treatment center in South Lake Tahoe

Sierra Nevada Cancer Center opened a new cancer treatment center at 1154 Emerald Bay Road in South Lake Tahoe July 1, 2013.

Sierra Nevada Cancer Center is a state-of-the-art oncology and hematology facility now offering treatment in five locations including Carson City, Fallon, Gardnerville and Sparks. The South Lake Tahoe facility will expand the reach of Sierra Nevada Cancer Center making cancer treatment more convenient and closer to home for those living at the Lake.

“This is a tremendous plus for anyone who is undergoing cancer treatment because they don’t have to travel long distances that take them away from their work, family or loved ones,” said Dr. Jorge Perez, a Board-Certified Oncologist/Hematologist. “This convenience alleviates the time, expense and stress of travel and allows patients to use their energy and resources toward healing,” he added.

Sierra Nevada Cancer Center is specifically designed to make treatment relaxing and comfortable. Its facilities provide private rooms, comfortable treatment chairs and the care of a compassionate staff.

Dr. Jorge Perez is a recognized leader in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of cancers including, but not limited to, Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Leukemia, Liver Cancer, Lung Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Lymphoma. He is bilingual thus able to speak with both English and Spanish speaking families and patients.
