Alice C. Cruz, MD

The doctor did a poor job of adjusting her explanation of health topics to account for my level education and health literacy. She also repeatedly referred to me, a queer woman who has been married to a woman for 17 years, as a virgin or someone who has never had sex because I have not had sex with a man.

Dr. Cruz is the best I will miss her when she will be gone as my internist.

If "Exceptional" was an option, Dr. Cruz would unanimously hit all of those marks. She is an extraordinary physician who is a great listener, empathetic, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile for her patients. In the 20 plus years I've sought her care, she has always responded to messages -- by phone and by email -- even during holidays and weekends. I sincerely believe Dr. Cruz is the greatest ambassador for Cedars Sinai Medical Group and I am delighted to see her expand her practice into concierge services.

One of the saddest days of my life was to hear that my beloved physician Dr. Cruz will no longer be my PCP! The yrs She has provided care for me hv Ben filled w/outstanding medical knowledge-genuine concern & care-professionalism, honesty - integrity-interest in my well being & she didn't hesitate to let me no areas I needed to improve in for my general health! She made appropriate referrals & listened to me when I presented medical concerns or progress! She is truly one of the best physicians I no (I worked at Cedars over 33 yrs) and though I am happy she will b moving on with her career goals..as a long time patient I will always remember the care she provided me and miss her presence in my life!!!
