Patient Reviews Spanning Over 20 Years in Chula Vista
Dr Cruz is the BEST orthodontist ever!!!! He is so nice, patient, and amazing!! I started my orthodontic treatment at a later age in life so it has taken me a little longer than expected because my teeth were very stubborn, but he was so patient and tried so many different things to finally get my teeth to move in the right direction. I’m so happy with my teeth! The office staff is very friendly and great! Office is very clean and organized. If you are looking for a wonderful orthodontist, go to Dr Cruz! He’s the BEST!!! 😁

I have been attending Dr. Cruz’ office for over 10 years. My older daughter had her orthodontic treatment here when she was 12 and she’s now 21! I also had my braces here( third and final time) and my youngest is now undergoing treatment. I can personally attest to the excellence of this office and this doctor.; He is wonderful and a master at his craft. His office is efficiently run and all the employees are happy and helpful. You will be a very happy patient if you come here, I guarantee it!!

Everyone in Dr. Cruz's office, including Dr. Cruz, are warm, professional, very accommodating people. They have treated my son with such kindness. We had an emergency over the weekend and the after hours staff went above and beyond for us, calling several people who could help us. One even woke up her two very young babies just to meet us at 8 pm at night. We are so grateful for everyone in this office.
