Theo was a wonderful, thoughtful clinician and terrific supervisor. I knew him in the Montefiore Child clinic and thought very highly of him. I am saddened by his death and send warm wishes and condolences.

Dr Cherbuliez was not merely a physician - he was a true "healer". He treated me with bee venom therapy in 2004, a treatment which cured me. Last year he generously spent time on the phone with me discussing various aspects of bee venom therapy. He had immense knowledge & expertise in the field of Apitherapy & its applications, & by sharing that knowledge unstintingly he also proved himself to be an incomparable "teacher". His passing is a great loss to everyone. My condolences to his family, friends, & all who knew him & mourn his passing.

It is always very difficult when someone you love dies. May the entire family find comfort, knowing that our heavenly Father will answer your cry for help. "...And you will call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." (Jeremiah 29:11,12)

Dr. Cherubuliez was one of a kind. His daughter Dr. Nicole Cherbuliez is my primary physician along with my 2 daughters. She first introduced me to her father because I was having difficulty with symptoms from MS. I began seeing Dr. Cherbuliez for bee sting therapy for my symptoms and it was like a miracle cure for me. I saw him for 4 years on a regular basis and as needed when I would have a flare up. My daughter passed away 3 years ago and she would often come with me to my appointments and was fortunate to have met such a wonderful soul. You must wait 15 minutes for the stinger to take effect and it was in that period of time that I will miss and treasure the most. He would speak to me about my daughters passing and life with such wisdom, and kindness. We would often cry together but we also laughed and he always made me feel better not only physically but mentally. I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace dear Dr. Cherbuliez Monica Champlin
