Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Kind, caring, attentive, professional
Dr Cruz is dedicated to his patients and provides attentive, professional and caring care care.

Golden Hands
God worked through him and his golden hands to save my life (as well as Denton ESD and Med City Denton OR Dr Robledo and staff) He repaired a major artery and vein as the result of a gun shot wound. By Gods grace I am alive.

surgery review
I had Carotid artery endarterectomy surgery by Dr Cruz in 2019 November. I had been experiencing headaches for year when he found my left carodit artery was almost closed. I had a follow-up today and everything looked great. He even had a tough time finding my scar. Dr Cruz has the best bedside manners and patient interest I have ever seen. I would recommend him for any vascular surgery that you should need. Salute to an awesome Doctor and surgeon.

It is rare to find a doctor who is very skilled and also very personable! He will just pop in when you are in the hospital and make sure everything is okay. His office staff are wonderful and the addition of nurse practitioners just ups the game.
