Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Santa Cruz is very patient and takes time to answer your questions and also to explain procedure.

Was admitted from ER for challenging 2 wks. in hosp. w/follup- re sudden onset, mystery illness. Have multiple, serious, auto immune issues to complicate things. Dr. called in to consult & team w/other specialists. Did Bronchoscopy, procedure went easily. He saw me everyday in rm. where, before & after, he clearly, logically, patiently answered & explained all procedures, test results, etc...whatever was necessary or asked. I adore Dr. SCruz, he's a star on an A Team. I had the best!

Once you leave the hospital it is impossible to get in contact with this doctor. Even if emergent, you will not get a call back and they will not work you in to the office to be seen.
