About Me

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.

I like Dr. Cruz because of her knowledge of my health history. She has mentioned things that I didn't think about to say. Always polite and friendly. As much as no one wants to go to the Cardiologist I'm glad I have Dr. Cruz for my healthcare advisor. Cannot say enough.
