Dr. Cheryl S. Black, MD

I was born and raised in Oklahoma. My plan was always to go to school and come back to take care of my neighbors and the people in this community. When it comes to oncology and hematology, I'm most passionate about patient education. I want my patients to feel confident making decisions and know I intend to treat them with the same kind of care I'd expect as a patient.

I chose to go into medicine because it is a constantly evolving field, and I love to learn new things. In the field of colon rectal surgery, one of the things I love about it is the diversity and the patient population. One of my passions as an advanced practice registered nurse is taking care of people with a new diagnosis of cancer. Part of what I love to do is to walk them through their treatment plan and prepare them for surgery and what to expect. My goal is to alleviate some of their fears.
