Lovely doctors office

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.

Very timely manner and looked at my child's diagnosis before coming in and explained what he thought about getting a culture back that those would likely be we would go from there. Very professional. Loved the care he provided.

Love Dr. Peltier and Dr. Cruse's doctors office. Have been with them for 16 years and I have zero complaints. They are extremely thorough and respectful. They listen and interact with the children and they make us feel like family!

Dr. Cruse and his staff have been wonderful. This is my third baby and my third child going through him and they are wonderful at the clinic. I recommend them to anyone.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/3/2025
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.

Dr. Cruse is the most kindest sweetest Dr. My son has autism and he's been seeing Dr Cruse for years. My son loves to hug and Dr. Cruse always hugs him and is so kind to him. Thanks Dr Cruse for being so kind to my son
