Well educated, compassionate Physician making a difference in his patients lives. Highly recommend.

Dr. Rafael Cruz really strives to give the patient the best possible care by staying up-to-date on technologies and treatments. He was able to resolve my health issue in a very professional manner. I can’t put into worlds how highly I think of him.

I did a zoom, telehealth call back in Dec 2021 for covid meds for preventative measures. Well, I tested positive as well as my husband in early July. Thank God I was prepared with meds and instructions from Dr Cruz. Having phrenic nerve damage from a cervical fusion years ago which resulted in a paralyzed diaphram and ill functioning lung I thought I was going to die for sure. I had very mild symptoms. A lot of phlegm and bad cough. THANK GOD FOR DR. CRUZ AND HIS STAFF.

Dr. Cruz truly cares for the wellbeing of his patients. Both visits I have had with him have been very informative. He presents all options clearly making sure to answer all of my questions. A wonderful physician!

Dr Cruz is very knowledgeable and helpful. Really appreciate him taking the time to listen and provide thoughtful feedback at a level I could understand and recommendations.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!

My experience with Dr. Cruz has been excellent. When I first came to see Dr. Cruz I was moving slowly, joints hurting, having diabetic neuropathy in my feet, and felt generally weak with significant joint pain. Dr. Cruz recommended IV Therapy. After the sixth IV treatment it was amazing! I am getting in and out of my truck with ease; my joint pain is almost completely gone; the neuropathy pain and cramps in my feet are gone and my memory is better along with everything else. I feel so much better and I will continue IV Therapy.

I had my right knee replaced in January 2017 and in the process found a lump in my groin that was soon diagnosed as stage 4 metastatic melanoma. I went from being a very active 60 year old female, yoga, hiking, travel,to being unable to exercise due to extreme fatigue and side effects of immunotherapy cancer treatment. Immunotherapy has kept me alive, but my standard of life is greatly diminished. When my left knee started bothering me and I tried conventional PT and steroid injections, my knee got much worse. I had to get a knee brace to walk at all. In December 2019, I heard about prolozone! Then my biological dentist recommended me to Dr. Cruz. Six weeks after my first injections of prolotherapy and prolozone, I am doing some yoga core strengthening exercises involving my knees which I could NOT do for 2 years. This after ONLY 1 treatment! Injection 2 (today) January 2020 with high hopes of being able to use my treadmill and get some much needed aerobic exercise. Thank you Dr. Cruz.

An excellent experience at Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine with Dr. Rafael Cruz! My name is Melanie Drury. I serve the community as a Nurse Practitioner in KY and IN. I personally had been dealing with degenerative joint disease and bone spurs of the cervical spine resulting in neck pain on a daily basis over the past 9 years. I also experienced low back pain daily over the past several years. I tried numerous treatments including chiropractic, cervical and lumbar traction, laser therapy, physical therapy several times, Nsaids, prescription anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxers, topical medications, acupuncture, cupping, dry needling, weekly massage, Pilates, orthopedic treatment, podiatry treatment, inversion table use...all with short term or little relief. Dr Cruz treated me with prolotherapy, prolozone, and regenerative tissue injections. It was the first time in 9 years I was pain free and 1yr post treatment still pain free! I encourage scheduling a consultation!

Dr. Cruz saved my life insisting that I get a heart cath when other doctor discovered a 95% blockage of my carotid artery. I was scheduled for carotid surgery and neither my doctor or my insurance wanted to let me have a cardiac cath because six months before I had a normal heart stress test. When I finally was able to get my cardiac cath, we discovered I had 7 blockages and I needed 7 cardiac stents. The surgeon told me I could've easily died during the surgery to fix the carotid artery if I had not fixed my heart first!!! Thanks to Dr. Cruz that is exactly what happened.

Dr. Cruz has often suggested IV Plaquex and IV chelation which helps open up blood vessels...

Thank God I listened when he insisted on heart cath.
