Patient Reviews

Sep 06, 2024

I chose Dr. Cruz as my doctor quite randomly when my child was born in the hospital. Now, 16 years later, with two teenage daughters, I couldn’t have found a better, more knowledgeable, and compassionate doctor. Dr. Cruz excels in using differential diagnosis to quickly identify health issues. His compassion has been a comfort whenever I’ve called in a panic, and he has always been able to explain concerns and outcomes clearly and reassuringly. He has been a trusted partner through many health issues, ranging from minor to serious, and I have never regretted following my intuition to select him on that first day. Initially, his office was crowded, and wait times were long, but those issues have been resolved. His practice now runs very smoothly at a new location with additional staff, including a nurse practitioner. As someone in healthcare myself, I can compare many metrics and confidently say that Dr. Cruz is definitely the top doctor in our area.
