Patient Testimonial

"I am happy to have found Joseph T Cruise, MD as my surgeon. it's been so many years since I wanted to get somethings off my chest! finally, flew to California from Canada and within a week had the consultation & procedure done. I already feel better wearing a shirt. there is nothing to hide or be ashamed of. I look forward to see the final results in the 6 months or so to come. Thanks to Joseph T Cruise, MD's perfectionism and his genuine interest in helping men like me, I feel like having a new life. His kind office assistants (Cristin), the members at NB center for surgery and excellent anesthesiologist, plus the over night stay at Aura, they all made it possible for an international patient such as me to get the best medical treatment. this is my day 3 after the surgery."
