Overall very good experience with Maria Cruz but when she asked my permission to use software to record the visit and take AI notes, she said it would make her life a whole lot easier if I gave permission. I felt pressured to say yes even though I didn't want to. I was afraid she might be mad if I didn't say yes.

Dr Cruz was very helpful with me she explained what the process was and what happening. Most of all she really assisted me with getting my colonoscopy scheduled at different location. She made me aware that her office was separate office/facility from main hospital. My intent was to be able to have the procedure at VUMC/OHO and not in Franklin due to distance and office being out of the way from where I live. Dr Cruz was able to facilitate my request got colonoscopy moved to VUMC main campus. I received call within a couple of hours returning home and was able to schedule. I truly appreciated her understanding and assistance with that process
