Dr. Carl Wayne Cruse

He removed a melanoma under the right eye. Did a great job and I'm impressed with him and the staff at Moffitt.

I traveled to Moffit from Indiana for reconstruction of an unfortunately located upper lip squamous cell carcinoma. Dr. Cherpelis (dermatology) did a Moh's resection on Thursday, and Dr. Cruse did the surgical reconstruction the next day. It has done beautifully and I was treated with first-class professionalism and respect throughout. The other treatment options I was offered elsewhere would not have resulted in the complete excision I received, and I am flabergasted at how well it has turned out. Dr. Cruse deserves the highest recommendation. I am surprised to see some reviews here that are negative. Perhaps some of those patients are looking for a glib bedside manner when what they really should want is a professional that will do the job well and will put their interests above his own.

He is arrogant and doesn’t provide the advice you need when making decisions about cancer surgery.

I was referred to Dr. Cruse for a cancerous lesion on my eye. At my 1st visit Dr. Cruse never even addressed me. Instead he asked the resident doctor questions about me. At my next visit for a review of test results he never answered my questions. When I asked him what does that mean he said, "I don't know." At one point he even told me, "I'm not a real doctor!" He was being a jerk when he said it, however, it was a very unprofessional thing for a doctor to tell a cancer patient.
