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.

Dr. Cruz is is very thorough and explains everything to you. He does not rush you and listens to your related questions / concerns.

Dr. Cruz is the best. I needed to change my Gastro doctor because my other was too far and Dr. Cruz is completely understanding and you can tell he cares about you getting better. He was great, cannot recommend enough!
