I’ve been dealing with ongoing GI issues for slightly over two years. After costly ER visits, multiple scans, tests and a copious amount of lab work, I was referred to Dr. Cruff. As soon as he walked into the room I was immediately uncomfortable. He was extremely rude towards me and dismissive towards my health concerns. Needless to say, I will NOT be returning to him or his office.

Dr. Cruff is an incredible surgeon. He's very precise, detail oriented, awesome to work/communicate with, and thorough. I've been more than pleased with all the surgeries he's performed on me. I would highly recommend!! Best surgeon around!!
