I have so much faith in Dr. Cruz. She truly listens and never rushes me. If something isn’t right, she zeroes in and doesn’t stop until it’s fully resolved. When my original doctor retired, I was very fortunate to find her. Thank you, Dr. Cruz, for the care and attention you give every time.

Faith Cruz is my GP. I went to her as a follow-up from my visit to Samaritan Memorial Campus. Her office staff was extremely helpful in finding a day that I could see her. Dr. Cruz was a good listener and examined me and gave me advise on how to deal with my colitis condition. We went over all the medications prescribed by Memorial and addressed concerns I had in my healing. I felt I had excellent care.
