Dr. Kariktan Cruz, MD 1900 Woodland Drive, Coos Bay, OR 97420

"If I could fire this woman I would! Cruz is a terrible Dr. She should not be within a 100 feet of any child. Chief complain she assumes things about parents. She literally put in mychart notes that I am illiterate. She never asked me she just discriminated and used her judgement. I choose not to answer questionnaires I let them ask me verbally so they don't twist my words. Secondly she took me in a separate room and interrogated me about my daughter's father. Last but not least she was trying to make me bring in my kids so more frequently to bank off of insurance. This woman and her "Restaurant O" husband need to stop taking advantage of people.Her services are terrible and she writes poorly about parents in her notes."

"First I like to say I like her she was nice but... My daughter had injured her right knee badly. Cruz looked at the x-ray and thought nothing was wrong but while looking I noticed bone floating..I said to her “no that’s a bone chunk” !!! I knew right then she was not paying attention to her work. I took my daughter to Dr.Hobbson he’s awesome! He informed me that in fact she had what’s called a football injury and needed major surgery. Had we done what Dr.Cruz suggested it might have permanently disabled my 16 year old child."

"Amazing provider!!!!!! I cannot day enough how much I love Dr.Cruz, she will always do her best to fit my children in if they are ill and will take the time to personally call me back the following day to ensure all is well. She has blown me away on multiple occasions with not only her knowledge, but her compassion, understanding, drive to give you the best care and lastly engaging with my children each visit. We as a family have lived in various states and have been seen by various pediatricians and Dr Cruz is leaps and bounds above the rest."

"I’m so disappointed. My grandson was born in May. He has been lactose intolerant since birth. She ignored my daughter Refusing to listen to her(like she knew more about my grandson than his Mother who cares for him everyday).She had switched formulas multiple times mind you with no results.I don’t recommend new mothers picking her as a doctor for their child. I am not a doctor and I knew he was lactose intolerant. Thank God My daughter now has switched to a new doctor with results.She now has a Doctor she can trust.Thank you for taking the time to read this."

"We have 4 kids and have had 5 different pediatricians. She is by far the best. Dr. Cruz is very thorough, knowledgeable and delivers high quality care. She is very easy to talk to and listens and explains things well. We couldn't ask for a better pediatrician."
