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.

Dr. Mary Cruz is an exceptional cardiologist, with whom, I am very fortunate to have her as my physician.The test results from my blood work up are posted to my account on the "MyChart" application. Therefore, it is not necessary for Dr. Cruz's office to contact me regarding the test results. I am sure, however, if I had any questions or concerns regarding any tests ordered by Dr. Mary Cruz that my inquires would be promptly attended to and answered.Thank you.
