Apr-2023
He may be an excellent surgeon but his bedside manner could use some improvement. I felt like if I wasn't there for surgery, I was wasting his time. I was trying to lighten the mood but got rebuffed to the point of not feeling like I could ask questions.
Apr-2023
Only 4 minutes with him and no opportunity to speak or ask questions. Obviously he didn't read my report on my MRI and was more interested in me going to a dermatologist. Very awful in his profession and no bedside manner. DID HE ONLY WANT THE INSURANCE MONEY OR WAS HE MORE INTERESTED IN GOING GOLFING?

Dr. Cruz is a kind man who explains the cause of your pain in words you understand. If I need surgery in the future, I will definitely trust Dr. Cruz to do the procedure.

His PA was sent in to the consultant. To tell me there was nothing that could be done for my chronic pain. Then Dr. Rodriguez-Cruz came in to tell me the same thing. Since I didnt have consistant specific pain, they wouldnt do anything. No one even went over my MRI with me at all.
