I believe in patient centered care. I take pride in knowing my patients well and providing care with the knowledge and skills in the latest advances in my field.
I am a board-certified cardiologist specializing in heart failure and mechanical circulatory support. Additionally, I provide inpatient and outpatient cardiology consultations, preoperative evaluations and continuing cardiovascular care.
My special areas of clinical interest are cardiomyopathies, cardiogenic shock, ventricular assist devices, cardiac amyloidosis and pulmonary hypertension.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and practicing yoga.

The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions from our
nationally recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do

“Dr. Cruz is always well informed with my health records. Sometimes she mentions things that I think she wouldn't know. Always takes time and doesn't rush my time. I needed cardiology clearance for possible surgery later next month. Carotid Artery surgery with a different doctor. One note though checking in seem cold but checkout receptionist was delightful. It is what it is.”
