This is the BEST care I have ever received from any doctor since my time with Vanderbilt. She was thorough, kind, concerned. And professional. I went out of my way to see her again after my initial visit just because she was so good. My surgeon didn't explain very much at all. Ms Cruz answered all of my questions and gave a thorough explanation of my case
