What our patients are saying
Dr. Cruz is one of the most compassionate physicians out there. I am so grateful to have had someone like him deliver my diagnosis, as well as advocate for me in so many ways: insurance appeals and so much more. He truly wants to see me succeed in life, despite the limitations of my diagnosis. The other staff and professionals in the office offer much support, as well…Thank you DHR Neurology Institute!
I’ve been suffering for over a year with suspected vestibular migraines. An ENT gave me this diagnosis and gave me medication, but they never seemed to work. I’ve seen doctors of all sorts and not one took the time to listen to everything and come up with a real plan… I am just starting with Dr Cruz and Emily, NP at DHR Neurology, and from the very first introduction, I was listened to, examined, I felt empathy/sympathy, and like I was not just another number to add to the charts…I am a single mother of 4 kids with a full-time job with no family. I have to get better as I am their only source of care. I have faith that everyone at this facility will help me get better.
My Appointment was with Dr. Cruz. Very thorough and he made me feel very comfortable asking questions.
