Dr. Rafael Cruz, MD

Not worth the money you pay unless it is something easy to treat. Office and staff are very disorganized and sometimes rude.

Great doctor, great advice and I will definitely go to him again.

Dr Cruz did an excellent job of understanding my problem and associated issues. Unlike the 20 allotted minutes w most doctors, Dr Cruz asked several follow-up questions. He then patiently answered several questions in different ways so I could grasp the concepts and methods. God bless you! You practice medicine and patient care in a matter that must not be taught in Med schools anymore.

Great doctor / really cares

Getting diagnosis and treatments that healed my a-fib and palpitations when other doctors were wanting me to go under the knife is a blessing. To know that Dr. Cruz knew of successful alternatives gave me a journey of hope. I was not able to walk more than a few hundred yards without my heart racing. After a round of chelation treatments, I can walk a mile and exercise with no problem. I could not exert myself around the house,now I can assume all of my home duties - yay.

On Mothers Day I was pushing my elderly mother in her wheelchair when both of my knees went out. I was disheartened, worried for my mother because I am her caretaker, and worried for myself because I felt I was next in line for the wheelchair! Imaging showed multiple complex tears in my medial meniscus, multiple collateral ligament sprains, with Grade 3-4 OsreoArthritis. So many folks rush to surgery rather than jumpstarting their own natural healing response. I decided to try Dr. Cruz's 3-injection allograft matrix, prolozone and prolo therapy regenerative treatment. Injections can be a little painful at times, but far less painful than surgery and without the chances of multiple, serious complciations from surgery. After only two injections my knees feel 85% better! I am back for my third injection today and looking forward to even more improvement. One of the best outcomes for me already: I no longer think and worry about how I would function with bad knees!

My MRI report showed severe joint degeneration; my hip used to keep me up at night and hurt if I walked more than 200 feet. Now I can walk 10,000 steps with just some fatigue, and I walk withpout a limp! Driving long distances is also more comfortable now than before the treatment. I would absolutely - and have already - recommended Dr. Cruz to anyone suffering from musculo-skeletal pain, osteoarthritis or any other ailment.

After much consideration of options, I decided to call Kentuckiana Integrative and see about treatment options for my knees and other issues that were diminishing my quality of life. Dr. Cruz himself called me, talked with me for a bit to determine what we needed to focus on first. My knees were what we decided to work on first. He was conscientious on what we could attempt with best results and that was also covered by insurance, as that was a concern to me. At 3 hyaluronic (gel) shots in, my husband and I took a trip to Utah to visit family. While there I was able to engage in hiking and biking and even home workouts and yoga with my family. I was amazed at how I was able to participate, even riding a mountain bike on a bmx course! I felt my smile from within my spirit that day! I am not finished with my treatments and expect to continue to see and feel the improvements. Dr Cruz and his office has always been very attentive, questioning and listening to me. They are wonderfu

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Cruz for anyone having addiction issues. Dr. Cruz is always respectful, he always listens, he takes my concerns seriously and is always helpful with anything I ask or have concerns about. He is always willing to work with me no matter what is going on. He made me realize that I not only wanted to get past my addiction but that I could do it. He respects our time and has set up a system also provides group therapy during the same visit as my appointment with him. Being able to talk with others in the same boat is extremely valuable, and having all of this in one office makes things easier and more doable.

Dr Cruz and his staff were excellent. They were very professional, explained thoroughly the procedures and how they should assist in my improvement as I have had severe knee issues for years. Dr Cruz carefully listened to my questions and concerns. He explained his answers in detail.

an overall change in mobility to knees and legs overall

Dr, Cruz and his staff are caring, helpful, kind and compassionate! Dr. Cruz understands pain and the effect it has on your quality of life. Before I had the Genvisc shots in my knees I could not go for long walks, exercise or play golf without significant pain. We were even considering selling our home because of the painful stairs. Dr. Cruz has a Physical Therapist that is top notch. With the shots and therapy I am walking, exercising, playing golf, working in my yard and climbing stairs without pain! I am so very thankful for Dr. Cruz!!

i have found Dr Cruz to be very knowledgable and informative . He is easy to talk to and i have always seen him as both a caring and genuine doctor. There are a few positive effects that i had both read about and heard about from other patients who have receive the chelation and Plaquex therapies. My personal experience has show improvements in both my energy levels and in my cognative function especially my memory. I noticed a big improvement in my memory and recall within the first 3 or 4 treatments. I have recomended Dr. Cruz to patients of mine and i will continue to do so. My personal reason for seeking help are due to cardiovascular problems and I am very pleased with the improvements that have been made. Thank you Dr Cruz you are providing a both positive and needed service to patients like me. Thanks again.

I met with Dr. Cruz who took his time to know my situation and health problems. He came up with a comprehensive plan and reccomended I start it right away. I did and I am so glad I did. He did tell me up front it normally takes a few treatments to see results like most things. I saw something after just the first treatment. Would I reccomend this to others? Yes. Would I do this again, Yes. Oh and the office staff are amazing, really are nice kind and work with you.

I am a true believer in the Iv treatments. They have helped with my body's process of healing.

Dr Cruz is caring informed and professional. He is one of the most trusted and knowledgeable in the area of holistic medicine. He is invested in my care and wellness. I have received nothing but respect and great care. He is receptive and proactive. Not only will he provide conventional insight but also preventative and integrative support.

Very unique approach. Not tied to the pharmacy industry. His approach is to resolve the medical issues, not just treat the symptoms.

Doctor Cruz has changed the quality of my life. Stem cell and Prolozone injections into my lower spine for two degenerated discs has thus far proven very effective. The nature of my pain has gone from a searingly hot and stabbing sensation all of the time to a much more manageable dull ache. I am able to work out and do core strengthening exercises without being in agony during and after the exercise. It has truly been life changing.

I have suffered from headaches and occipital nerve pain due to osteoarthritis for many years and have tried many treatment options (muscle relaxers, dry needling, chiropractic, therapeutic massage, physical therapy). Nothing has improved my headaches and neck pain more than prolotherapy/prolozone therapy administered by Dr. Cruz. He takes time to listen to your issues and makes recommendations, but ultimately you are the one to decide which treatment you wish to pursue. I wish I had found him sooner! Highly recommend a consultation.

Dr. Cruz and staff were wonderful!! He is sooo informative and caring! The staff is great and so very helpful and even helped us get connected with the weight loss plan. The Ketamine is not as frightful as it seems. Don't hesitate to come to Kentuckiana Intergrative Medicine!! You will be glad you did!!
