Patient Reviews
Mar 17, 2023
After numerous-numerous facilities and physicians I was referred to Dr. Cruz for surgery. A VERY difficult decision for me since this would be my 5th intestinal surgery. From the beginning Dr. Cruz AND his team were open, honest and positive. They addressed multiple issues I had dealt with for over a decade. I am better than I have been for that last decade. I am 1 year post-op and the whole team continues to be watchful and communicative.
