I do not wish to get into personal medical issues, but I am interested in why you are on your third primary.

I like and trust Dr. T. Cheema, but I think she relies too much on referrals and testing. Perhaps every doctor does that now, but I'd personally rather take a conservative approach and not be sent for a danged CT scan or X-ray or referred to a specialist for every single ailment. She used to be a hospitalist and perhaps it's her nature to"manage" patients rather than "treat" them herself. She is kind and listens but she also never remembers me even though I've seen her 6-7 times.

As for her practice, the offices are a little scuffed and showing their age, the waiting room is small and they have a lot of staff turnover. The front desk people can be hit or miss. I've had trouble in the past with prescriptions being called in wrong. I've never had the same nurse twice, but have no complaints about them. They have their own in-office lab and if you'd prefer to go to Quest or another outside lab, you'll need to specifically request it.

I would second Dr. Cruz, we got his name from TOV a little over a year ago and both myself and my wife would suggest you give him a try;ans if my wife says so you know it is right!!!
