Jan 18, 2023
Dr De La Cruz is an amazing breast surgeon! You simply will not find someone more skilled or compassionate anywhere. She is extremely approachable and you will never feel rushed. In addition, her clinical judgement is amazing and in the operating room she is technically phenomenal. I am myself a breast surgeon so I know who is the best in our field and Dr De La Cruz is it! When I was myself diagnosed with breast cancer, I could have chosen anyone, anywhere - I traveled over 3 hours to see Dr De La Cruz. If she lived on the other side of the world I would have traveled there. She is superwoman and if you need a breast surgeon you simply cannot find anyone better!
