Mercedez C. Cruz, MD

I want to commend Dr. Cruz, now that she is a parent herself, for her ability to empathize with fellow parents on the challenges of raising small children and the strategies she has undertaken to make that possible.

Dr Cruz is the best pediatrician we have had. My 14 yr old son has seen her for 3 yrs and loves her approach. He feels she has Conversations about his health instead of just asking questions.

Good

Provider appropriately engaged my son directly and asked me to let him answer questions. I appreciated that! My son liked her and said I trusted what she had to say

We ADORE Dr.Cruz! Listens, asks the correct questions, takes her time. We never feel rushed through our appointment time. This women was born to be a physician. Cannot say enough kind things!

Dr Cruz is awesome, she goes above and beyond for her patients.

Overall good!

Dr. Cruz is wonderful - caring, kind and listened.

Over all I was very impressed.

I like my doctor. She is very friendly and always listens to me. Everyone who works there is also very nice.

The best!!!

Does not come across pediatric friendly or engaging for a child to participate in an exam

Dr. Cruz was very kind and knowledgeable as always. She explained to our daughter what she was doing through the exam. Dr. Cruz reassured her when she was scared. She was very caring and answered all of our questions and concerns.

Dr Cruz is wonderful! She is very thorough and kind.

Dr. Cruz was absolutely wonderful.

Excellent! Showed true caring for the patient.

TWICE when weve called when Dr. Cruz is out, Dr. Conde (on call doc) minimized our concerns and said go to the ER because she wasnt familiar with our daughter and that she didnt feel comfortable making changes to care for one of Dr. Cruz patients. What is the point of having an on-call doctor if they are just going to say take her to the ER. If it was an emergency, I would take her to the ER, but this was a case of need for urgent medical care, not emergency care, there is a difference.

Dr. Cruz has gone above and beyond to care for our daughter. She does a great job explaining things to us. As a new parent Im thankful to have found a doctor that takes her time to share her knowledge instead of just rushing us out the door.

My daughter loved Dr. Cruz! She wants to switch to her for her PCP. She was very sweet and funny with my daughter and explained things in a way she could easily understand. She did not speak down to her.

This was my first visit, the Dr was very patient and made us very comfortable. She took her time and made me feel like she really cared.

Dr. Cruz always takes time to explain

Dr Cruz is wonderful! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind

Such good personalized care!

Doctor Cruz asked great questions about my babys health. She went above and beyond trying to understand the problem. She seemed very approachable and helpful. However, I dont think she knew a lot about breastfeeding which is ok, but doctors should be a little more careful so moms dont start supplementing without a plausible reason.
