Dr. Joseph T. Cruise, MD

I would not recommend Dr. Cruise for any cosmetic procedure. Based on my experience, I found him to be unreliable, lacking in professionalism, and insufficiently attentive to patient concerns. Throughout the process, I felt there was a serious lack of empathy, clear communication, and appropriate follow-through regarding my care. Rather than feeling supported as a patient, I was left with the impression that financial gain was prioritized over accountability and quality treatment. I was also deeply disappointed by the overall outcome, which I consider unacceptable given the expectations set at the outset. In the end, I regret choosing this provider and feel that I wasted both my time and money on an experience that was frustrating, discouraging, and damaging.

Overall great experience. It was a very new and an intimidating process that the staff and Dr. Cruise made very comfortable, pleasant and informed. Every concern was addressed in a timely manner and the stop point above and beyond to make sure that the healing happened appropriately and that my expectations and stress were managed throughout the process.

Start to finish I have felt very well taken care of from everybody here in the office. Everyone is professional, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and reachable, friendly and inviting. Dr. Cruise is genuine and really takes his time looking at everything.

I went to Dr. Cruise to correct my flabby big stomach. After 3 kids, and some extra pounds, it has been very hard to get in shape. No matter what I did, my stomach was always bothering me. When I was sitting the rolls would flow over my pants. That was so depressing. Now that I had my tummy tuck, even if my weight goes up and down, the stomach doesn't change. It is flat like board. I would have never imagined that would be possible. Thank you Dr. Cruise and team for taking care of me!!! I could not be happier with my result.

My consultation was very informative. Dr. Cruise explained everything anout the procedure and spent a good amount of time with me . I Ioved Cristin his patient coordinator who also spent a good amount of time addressing all my concerns. She was very knowledgeable about the procedure and risks. This was my third interview and so far Dr Cruise is my choice.

I had my upper eyelids and nose done by Dr. Cruise two years ago. I could not be happier with the results! His staff was amazing and nobody can tell I had surgery. They looked at me and knew something was different but couldn't tell what until I told them :-). I love my natural results and the improvements.

Dr. Joseph Cruise and his RN Jennifer Churchill are the best plastic surgeon team anyone can ask for. Thank you both for making my vision a reality.

The premier place for plastic surgery. Top notch doctor and staff.

One of the most professional practices I have visited. Top notch doctor and staff.

My story. Iâ??m your typical gynecomastia patient. As I started developing into a man, around age 13 I really noticed my chest. I would wear clothes to hide, posture with shoulders forward, whatever it took to hide it. I avoided swim parties. I got asked if I needed a bra. And at that time I didnâ??t know this was gynecomastia, just thought I got dealt with something that I couldnâ??t change. Finding the right Doctor. Do you research! Dr. Cruise was my second surgeon. 5 years ago I went to a local plastic surgeon who was well known, but had only a handful of gynecomastia patients. The first sign that I should have gone somewhere else was in the consultation when he didnâ??t even touch my chest and just looked at it. The result was what I like to call a deflation, where the pointedness of the nipple area was lipoâ??d out but 90% of the problem still remained. Finally, I dug deeper and did my research and thatâ??s how I came across Dr. Cruise. He specialized in… gynecomastia, even having a full page layout in his brochures, and doing commercials. He also has a large portfolio of past patient results. Dr Cruise was very detailed in the consultation about what to expect. He understood my fears and my expectations. His staff is awesome! Cristin was very patient with all my questions, and Jessica was great as I went through recovery. My surgery. In order for me to achieve my goals, my procedure was a little more extensive. I had removed excess skin, tissue, and free nipple graft. Essentially he removed what was the size of my hand on each side and reattached my nipples. This was necessary to see the pec definition that had been hiding behind the gynecomastia. The surgery itself was painless and quick. 2 hours. Local anesthesia. I did enjoy the Xanax prior to surgery. I went home after for a brief period and then went about my day. I was in a compression vest and surgical wrap for a week. My recovery. This is where your patience is needed. It was a week after surgery before I was down to just the compression vest and gauze over the nipples and incisions. After week 12, I was able to eliminate the taping. After 3 months, I was able to chuck the compression vests, but still advised to wear compression shirts for a few months after that. I will say itâ??s hard to realize your results until you get to 6 months. My results. Itâ??s been one year (May 2015) and the results are awesome. I am seeing the scars to get less and less red. I was told 1-2 years with scaring results. I can now wear tight tshirts, and in fact, I find myself sticking out my chest!
