Chris Cruz, DDS

My consult was amazing and after receiving such warm and kind service today I decided to go with this office to fix my braces. I will update after my braces are fixed.

My 3 kids went to Dr. Cruz. The office staff is very professional. Always accessible and friendly. I’m going to miss them! Thanks for being so great!

After visiting a few other places about treatment for
Invisalign Brace. walking into Dr. Cruz office I was blown away from the facility warm and inviting staff. I ended up getting treated with Invisalign. I’m very happy with results !

My son recently got his braces removed after having his orthodontic work done by Dr. Cruz and his staff, and I could not be happier! I had actually taken my son to another dentist and had the orthodontic process started, but after experiencing one disappointment after another I knew it was time to terminate the service and cut my losses. With that said, I could not even begin to compare the quality of work performed Dr. Cruz with the other dentist who had begun the mediocre work (at the same price). I feel so lucky for having been referred to Dr. Cruz. I was impressed with his work from the beginning and now I can say from beginning to end! Dr. Cruz is experienced, great with children (and adults) and so professional. Same can be said for his entire staff. I will actually miss going to this office. Dr. Cruz and his office provide quality work delivered with the utmost professionalism.

First timers at this facility. My son had a consult fit braces. Friendly staff. Dentist was very nice and thorough, always has a smile on his face. However, they could use a little bigger waiting area though.

We love Dr. Cruz and his staff! We came for a second opinion on our daughter’s dental and orthodontic care and were so comfortable, we decided to move our treatments to this office. We could not have made a better decision! Dr. Cruz and his staff are helpful and cater to my daughter’s apprehension, making her comfortable. The approach Dr. Cruz had to our treatment plan showed care and concern, as if he was working on his own child. They are also able to fit us in when things happen; because things DO happen! Thanks to him, our daughter is on her way to an even more beautiful smile!

Dr. Cruz is awesome. Everyone that works there is very friendly and helpful. Excellent service!

great service, great price. My son never complains about coming here. They are very professional and flexible with your schedule

My son was not crazy about the dentist… but everyone here is WONDERFUL! The staff definitely goes out of their way to make you feel at home and take their time explaining everything to you as well as the children.

Dr Cruz is one of the best orthodontics in San Diego hands down extremely professional this office is lovely all his staff are amazing and wonderful everytime I walk in here I feel so welcomed. Thank you Dr Cruz for the beautiful work you did I can honestly say I enjoy smiling now

I absolutely love Dr. Cruz and his office! We transferred care from Louisiana. At first I took my son to an orthodontist office that was around the corner, they were super sketchy and wanted to charge me a ridiculous amount of money even though my son was almost done with his braces! Luckily I happened to see a review for Dr. Cruz and called for an appointment. His staff was wonderful, courteous, pleasant and sincere. Dr. Cruz is very nice, cheerful, energetic and knowledgeable. They worked with me on payments since I didn’t have any dental insurance. Whenever my son has any problems Dr. Cruz and his staff make sure it taken care of immediately. I am so happy with their service and their commitment to providing excellent orthodontic care to their patients. You cannot go wrong with Dr. Cruz!

Thank you Dr. Cruz and staff, especially for having patience with Bret. Bret loved his braces so much, he wanted to keep them on. He was sad the day you took them off.
My boys have a beautiful smile because of Dr. Cruz and staff.
Dr. Cruz is the best orthodontist!

Took my son for his first orthodontic visit to Dr. Cruz and had a great experience from the moment we walked in till we left. Very friendly and helpful staff that have a welcome board with your child’s name to welcome them for their first visit. Thought that was such a cool idea and such a nice touch. Kids love that stuff and made my son feel very comfortable. Dr. Cruz was not only very professional but very personable to my son which took any dental fear he had away. I am definitely recommending Dr. Cruz to all my family and friends. My son is actually looking forward to his next visit!

This is no exaggeration, I ADORE Dr Cruz & his staff. I have a very shy child and Dr Cruz has been so loving and caring towards her. His office is conducive to adolescent needs and interests and he and his staff members are sure to make parents feel included during their child’s treatment. I’m never forced to wait in the waiting room and they’re never too busy to answer my questions. I wouldn’t imagine trusting my child’s orthodontic care in the hands of anyone else except this wonderful man and these fabulous women who assist him! Thank you Dr Cruz and the ladies at this office for giving my child and I not just a great dental experience but a warm and unforgettable human experience as well. Great patient care goes to the heart and soul, and I do not take it for granted! :-)

Ellie’s review after getting braces put on today.
Donna at Dr. Cruz’s office is the best ever! I was very nervous and afraid to get my braces put on. But Donna explained it all so I understood and wasn’t afraid. She even asked if I took pain medicine ahead of time so I wouldn’t hurt too much the first day! She was very nice. Dr. Cruz is always super nice and remembers stuff about me even though we don’t see each other and he has lots of patients to remember. Now I know why my brother and sister like going to Dr. Cruz’s. ”

Upon hearing our son needed braces my wife and I were horrified and feared for him since neither of us have had braces but had heard the stories of the cost and pain. The cost was not extraordinary and the services received more than outweighed the benefits received. Our son started the program in his sophomore year of high school and was completed before his Senior Year picture, which by the way came out great with his pearly whites shining straight! Every visit, the staff and Dr. Cruz made us (whoever went with our son) feel welcomed and patiently explained everything that was being done (treatment, progress, etc.). The attitude and atmosphere in the clinic was, in my opinion, very helpful to our son’s successful treatment. We happily recommend Dr. Cruz to anyone needing braces!

I have just started the whole braces process and so far loving Dr. Cruz and everyone else working there! I give him, the office, and staff 5 stars for a job well done :)

Because of the time & expense, the decision to get braces or choose an orthodontist is a BIG one! After comparing prices and treatment options at other offices, we chose Cruz Orthodontics. Three great smiles later, I know we made the best choice.
Each of us had different issues… big teeth, little teeth, young teeth, old teeth, too many teeth, too few… no matter. From the youngest, to the oldest, we each received the kind of personal attention that made us feel more like V.I.P.s, than «clients». We each counted the months ’til we’d be out of wires & bands, but at the end it was almost sad, knowing we wouldn’t be seeing our friends at Cruz Orthodontics regularly.
So, what did we get for our time & money? With no more gaps or crowding, we each got smiles that look and work better – not to mention a few points added to our attractiveness scores. Thanks to Dr. Cruz & his fantastic staff, we love our smiles, and we love our orthodontist.

Your Review
” Without a doubt, Dr Cruz is rated 10 out of 10. The customer service is superb and the quality of care is excellent. He explained very well the plan of care for my son’s braces. Dr Cruz and staff have a natural ability to make every visit pleasurable. We are lucky to have him in our area. ”

Went in for my 1^st Ortho visit, and I have to say it was a pleasant experience! Really? how often can you say dentis & pleasant in the same sentence? I will forever recommend Dr. Cruz & his staff to any and everyone who will listen! Can’t wait to see my results in 18 months, but I have no doubt that Dr. Cruz will do right by me. The staff was amazing, friendly and they make sure you are comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Cruz was so sweet, he has those friendly eyes that make you feel at ease. Very clean offices, they don’t make you wait around, they get you in and out. Highly recommend this office!
