Patient Reviews
May 16, 2019
I was shocked to get my biopsy results back and learn that my thyroid cancer had extensive lymph node involvement. I am 27 and this was my first major surgery, naturally I was terrified. Dr Albuja-Cruz constantly exuded confidence, kindness and complete honesty. She was upfront about the risks of the surgery and spelled everything out clearly in the pre-op and post-op, now my family and I have come away “experts” in thyroid cancer. Professor Cruz performed the six hour surgery perfectly, and managed to find and replant all three of my parathyroids that attempted to jump ship during the operation. During the nights I spent in the hospital to have my calcium levels monitored, Dr. Albuja-Cruz visited me daily, to check up on how I was doing. She answered all of my messages promptly and her expertise provided much-needed comfort before and after the ordeal. Dr Albuja’s precision in the OR is truly unparalleled, and she is highly respected by her peers and students alike. I owe her my life!
