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.

Excellence!
My husband and I have been patients of Dr Cruz for many years. He and all of his associates are just wonderful. It feels like you are all family and care deeply about one another. You are never rushed and are given all the time you need. Your health and diagnostic tests are discussed and any questions are answered. We also appreciate how fast that you get call backs and again never feel rushed. We love and appreciate Dr Cruz and his team….Nancy, Madeline and Emily . All of them are FANTASTIC !

Exceptional Care!
I was so pleased with my first in-person appointment with Dr. Cruz! He compassionately and expertly addressed my medical needs while taking extra time to get to know me as a person. My interaction with other staff members was the best “customer service” experience I have had in a long time. They were friendly and most helpful.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cruz for three years and I recommend him without hesitation. Dr. Cruz is exceptional. He is thorough, he listens, his care is skilled and personal. I also appreciate having all routine tests done in this office rather than visiting an outside lab. Dr. Cruz’s staff is organized, efficient and very helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Cruz.

Dr Cruz really listens, has genuine concern and empathy. No rushed appointments. He is very knowledgeable and offers the best in care. I trust him with my life and with my husband’s life. His demeanor is calming and reassuring. Dr Cruz , his nurse, and his office associates make you feel like you are their family and they all feel like family to me. My husband and I highly recommend him.
