Cash doctor for someone with no insurance

[starflyte1]

Does anyone know of a local doctor who will take a patient with no insurance for anything but emergencies? This patient is not a US resident and only has (very good) medical insurance for emergencies, but not doctor visits, so will pay cash.

Why would a doctor not take cash?

Dr. Martinez-Cruz excepts patients without insurance and charges a flat fee of $50.00 for an office visit, he is an Internist. His office is in the Dana Building behind Bonefish Grill.
352-750-6650

I think most Doctors will take cash and have heard in the future they may ONLY take on patients with cash. Don't think they will have a problem

An appointment has been made with Dr. Martinez-Cruz. Thanks for the replies.

I think Dr.Martinez Cruz has retired or no longer has a practice. That is what came up with health grades.

[Russ_Boston]

Is it Diaz or Cruz and is either one retired or actually taking appointments? I'm so confused:)

Had an appt. with Dr. Martinez Cruz yesterday and have another next week.

OK, keep us updated.

Dr. Cruz is indeed practicing in the Dana Building. There is an ad in today's paper. If anyone has had any dealings with him, please let me know. I have been to him a few times but something does not feel right. He was fired from his last practice????

I would like to hear others' opinions are of Dr. Martinez-Cruz.

We are very happy w him so far.
He is knowledgeable, patient, listens.
I don't know why he left his previous office.
Personality conflicts?
Long commute for the dr?
There could be many reasons.
We are happy w him so far and plan to continue going there.
