We have lived in The Villages for almost five years and have looked long and hard for a good GP. We had to kiss a few "frogs " before finding the wonderful, compassionate, and experienced Dr. Martinez- Cruz. We have been under his care for two years. I have had to see him for more than just general reasons, and when I met him for the first time, I found him to be a doctor who takes his time to listen carefully. He gave me his business card and pointed out his personal email address which he checks at least twice a day and qiuickly resonds to questions (I have written to him and he responds as promised); his cell phone number is also on the card, and if he doesn't answer immediately, he calls back quickly. His willingness to be available to his patients is amazing in this day and age. He has his own practice and has a an office staff who are just like him: committed to the patient's needs and very responsive to any requests. His office hours are Monday- Saturday....7:30-2:30 ( not sure about the Saturday hours)
This is his information: 352-750-6650. 781 Highway 466. Lady lake ( Summit Plaza. Near intersection of Rolling Acres and Rt 466)
