Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly Recommended!
Dr. Marco De La Cruz is an amazing and great doctor and human being. He took excellent care of me and my health going back 30 years. Due to changes in my life, my healthcare coverage changed. After many years, I searched for Dr. De La Cruz and his accepted insurance. Bingo! Back together again. Dr. De La Cruz has alleviated pain and stress in my life multiple times. He genuinely cares about me and my total health. Apart from prescriptions, he will suggest holistic nutrients. I am a former Vegan who also enjoyed yoga. Personally, I can talk to him about anything I am concerned about. He cares about my holistic health, including my peace of mind. I trust Dr. De La Cruz and his professional medical judgment. He is consistent and on point. When I told my family that Dr. De La Cruz helps me relax and he truly cares about me and my total health, and that the little things he does mean a great deal to me, the response was…Great Doctor! I said, “Yes, he is.” Thank you, Dr. De La Cruz.

Nutrition advice
My cholesterol went up by about 50 points after going on a healthy diet, and losing weight . Yet he told me that I should be prese scribed statins to lower my cholesterol... Sent me on a long path about learning about diet and cholesterol myself. Managed to push my total cholesterol to 545 on keto this year.

Dr. De La Cruz took the time to get to know my situation. He is knowledgable about diseases that other doctors refuse to discuss. He addresses problems wholistically and medically. His Nurse and office staff are caring and compassionate and will put in extra energy to address patient needs. He has appointments available and they are great at responding to messages.

Loved Dr. Delacruz! he was a very open minded and helpful Dr. he is treating your whole body and mind not just the disease affecting you . Lyme patients are very well treated and nothing is off topic or treated as fake.

Dr. De la Cruz is the best doctor I have ever had. He's been my general practitioner for over 20 years. I continue to see him yearly, as possible, even after moving to Los Angeles three years ago, and to France last year! His approach engages the patient in his or her own health. It has made a tremendous difference for me. I feel I have a real partner in creating and sustaining my health, who gives me the knowledge and support I need. Also, he listens to who I am as a whole person. I enthu

This Dr is terrific! He listens to my health concerns, shows such compassion and has a great caring manner. Dr De La Cruz spends a great deal of time with me on each visit, he is very thorough with his evaluation and explains each question I may ask. He is interested in YOU the patient, your personal and work dynamics that may play a role in your health as well. I feel under his care my health has greatly improved.

Dr. De La Cruz is an excellent doctor. He demonstrates excellent patient care and treatment. He served as my doctor for many years. I'm seeking to re-enroll immediately with Dr. De La Cruz. He also engages patients in an excellent stress management program to prevent future illnesses. I love and respect Dr. De La Cruz and highly recommend him to my family and friends. George

Dr. De La Cruz really listens and is interested in getting to the root of illness, not just alleviating symptoms. I have been dealing with autoimmune issues for 43 years and have educated myself and he is willing to listen to me and try and see what works. He is wonderful!

Dr. De La Cruz is very knowledgeable. Both my son and I see him. Every doctor I've seen wants to put me on medication, and while at some point, it may be necessary, they're not willing to look into the reasons behind my symptoms much outside of normal bloodwork. I believe my son and I both suffer from Lyme and for myself, metal toxicity. I recently had my amalgams removed, but symptoms have been exacerbated since. We love him!

He spent all of 10 minutes with my son without weighing him or even taking blood pressure looked at him and diagnosed him with Lyme disease. He kept telling us to buy his book so that we can learn about Lyme disease and anytime I had a question he would respond with well if you bought my book you would have the answer already. He prescribed two antibiotics & probiotics and we had to buy the probiotics from only him. My son took them and became extremely ill & was told then stop taking them.
