    We love Dr Cruse and his team. I do wish they would have let me know that the Nurse practitioner was coming in first. Normally, it's not a big deal that we see the NP. However, this appointment was sensitive to my child.

    I showed up over an hour early to our appointment. Asked if it would be trouble to be seen early and was in/out before my scheduled time!

    Dr. Cruse sets a high bar for medical care. We have been seeing him for almost 14 years, and he has consistently been a calming and informative source of medical care for myself as well as my children. He has seen us through acute illnesses as well as long term mental health challenges. While I hold the other professionals in this practice in high regard as well, I believe that Dr. Cruse is the best fit for my son and our family.

    Dr. Cruse is one of my favorite pediatricians that all three of my children have seen. He's seen each of them at least three or four times within their lifespan, and he always takes the time to listen to my concerns as a parent and make sure that all my questions are answered. He doesn't rush things, and he genuinely cares about his patients. You can tell by his bedside manner. I would highly recommend him to anybody who is searching for a pediatrician that actually cares about their job.

    Dr. Cruse has very good bedside manners. He listens and shows that he cares to everything you have to say. And he also explains everything in a way that we were able to understand. He was just very caring. And I would definitely recommend him, Micah, and Jen to anybody.

    I wholeheartedly trust this doctor with my daughter's well-being. He takes such good care of her and remembers everything about her despite having many patients. I always feel heard and seen when I express my concerns or questions. And he is very thorough with explaining things in a way that makes sense to someone who is not in the medical field. I wouldn't see any other doctor than him for my child.
