Has anyone of his patients on here asked him why?
Frankly I have no recollection signing such a document to be a patient of Dr. Cruz, on top of which I would not consider it an issue to do so. I am a patient of an ophthalmological practice here in TV that asks patients to sign a no-lawsuit, mediation-only agreement. I suspect things like this are only going to get more prevalent....
