Dr. Cruz is truly a doctor from the old school. His office is not a body shop with enough staff to resemble a new car dealership. He is engaged and attentive. Highly competent. New doctors should have to intern with him to learn how to practice medicine the right way.

He thought my GI issues were related to depression and anxiety and then he asked me where my husband was. Those were his exact words “where is your husband”. It’s been a while since I’ve faced Dr Cruzes level of misogyny. I went to a different GI who immediately found the cause…. And it had nothing to do with depression anxiety or being husband-less lol Especially if you are female bodied stay away from this “provider”
