Dr. Rafael F. Cruz MD

Jeffersonville IN

My husband & I found Dr. Cruz & his team in 2021, after a months long search in trying to find someone who had the patience, skill & expertise to take me on as a patient. I say patience because most doctors out there don’t have the time or mind for a complicated story. I had had it with pain clinics & the whole traditional healthcare system. I needed a new point of view, and some new directions to try. My background, briefly: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, several autoimmune diseases, Lyme disease as a teenager for 4 years, and spine injuries & surgeries, along with arthritis & joint degeneration.

It’s been over two years, and the impact Dr. Cruz & his team have had on my life has been for the better. After years of feeling like my health was degrading each year, I’ve now been able to see positive improvements. The first step was a consultation with Dr. Cruz that was not just thorough about my history, but it also included Dr. Cruz presenting a wide variety of options for me to try based on my conditions. Some were free - like a simple YouTube link to healing frequencies - and some were on me as to whether I wanted to try them, such as diet changes. There were also a wide variety of services he provided, for which he urged us to take the time we needed to research, talk them over, and decide what made sense. There was no pressure at all. Many of the Kentuckiana options are not found in a traditional medical setting, but I’m not a traditional patient so it’s been a good fit. Some things have helped more than others, but nothing has set me back.

At a time where pain management & even decent medical care has become so difficult to obtain for those with complex health situations, I am so grateful that I found the team at Kentuckiana. And I mean team, because every single person there plays an important role, and they all have the same mission, values, etc. when it comes to health care, which makes it an exceptional place for patients. They are always open & looking for new ways to improve the lives of others, and my life has improved because of them.
