Jonathan Cruz, MD
Aventura
Doctor of Medicine, a common medical school degree for physicians. MDs at One Medical typically specialize in family medicine, internal medicine, geriatrics or pediatrics.
I'm a first-generation Puerto Rican and Colombian who has moved around the country and now settled in South Florida. Before Medicine, I studied Public Health, which taught me first-hand that medicine is the great equalizer. Access to compassionate and patient-centered care truly changes a patient’s life. Primary care is the best field because I form close bonds with my patients - I remember their faces, meet their families, and learn the stories that led them into my office. My patients inspire me daily. I like to see patients for all concerns - from acute concerns to chronic disease management, from mental health concerns to general health maintenance. Hablo español (e um pouco de português) y me alegra poder ayudar a pacientes de todas partes del mundo.
How I stay healthy and happy
I am an avid traveller! I've been to about 60 countries and all 50 states in the US. There is so much to explore and learn about the world. I also keep my body in constant motion - I like to run half marathons, join group fitness classes, and sit on the beach with a piña colada.
