Genevieve Cruz, MD

Dr. Genevieve Cruz is terrific. Born in Richmond Virginia, she likes to point out that she has never lived anywhere longer than 5 years, so her roots are far reaching. She made it to California via Egypt, England, Louisiana and Texas, but she’s home now!

Okay, we’re just going to put this out there: Dr. Cruz is the only member of our faculty to have an Etsy Shop! She builds Resin embellished Cheese Boards. She is a proud member of the Feral Physician Artists Community on Facebook (we take her word for it that this is a real thing). She loves building and crafting of all kinds. She is determined to spend the time necessary to make her cat love her. Lots of luck.
