He is one of the best Doctors in all of Miami. He is very dedicated and well very handsome. My drain had moved alittle 4 days post-op and the pain was unberable. I called him and was automatically transferred to him and we met up and he removed it. My mean it was a saturday and i was worried of having to wait till monday in such pain. He really went that extra mile. His staff is the best also Terry, Gloria, and all the others. They call to check up on you the day before the surgery and the day after you get released from the hospital. I loved every part of this experience. He emphasizies after care very advocatly. He makes you go to a nutritionist who speacilizes in gastric bypass patients. She teaches you how, what, and when to eat. Before the surgery he you most go to one seminar (support group) mandatory. In the seminar which are held 1,2,and 3, Wesday of each month in English or Spanish he tells all the risks and exactly what is happening with the procedure. There he serves diet pepsi, fruit salads, ice, and water for all the people attending the seminar. I rate him the best in the bunch. A 20 in a scale 1-10. In the hospital (Cedar Medical) the nurses and doctors come and check up on you every 3-4 hours after the operation. They are extremely nice and are there to help you in anything that you may need.
11/8/02 Dr de la Cruz-Munoz is so sweet, he is funny and kind and knows his surgery. He cares about his patients. The office staff is also very nice and helpful. Very professional but down to earth, you feel like part of the family from the first moment you walk in. You will love this surgeon and the way he has his support and after care. rn
My first thoughts were like everyone else \"Wow, he looks so young\". My first meeting with Dr. De La Cruz was at his group meeting at Cedar's Hospital. That meeting was great I learned so much about the surgery and aftercare. I even met some post-ops that were there, they shared their experiences and answered questions. Dr. Del La Cruz's office staff is truly exceptional; #1 in my book. They are friendly, courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. I feel that I can trust Dr. De La Cruz 100%.

Dr. de la Cruz-Munoz is an excellent surgeon. He is young, yet extremely confident and capable. His bedside manner is impeccable. He is efficient and effective, and his hands are magical. I have had surgery with him twice. The first time was for my gall bladder a few years ago. The second time was for lap RNY on 3/14/06. Both surgeries went very well. The gastric bypass procedure took him less than 45 minutes to complete. He is absolutely wonderful and I would recommend anyone in the South Florida area to see him - his WLS program is thorough and very informative.
Dr. Del La Cruz Munoz is a very young but exprienced doctor. I've done a lot of research on him through his website(obesitymiami.com) and through coworkers that had the surgery with him prior to meeting him and found that he is very precise about performing this surgery. When I met him, he was just as interested in me as I was in this surgery. He asked quite a bit of questions to insure that I was ready for this surgery before he offered any additional info about proceedingwith it. Which, in my opinion is what everyone should definately look for when persuing gastric bypass surgery
