Andrés Cruz-Iñigo, MD
Dr. Andrés E. Cruz-Iñigo is a Mayo Clinic–trained dermatologist, Diplomate of Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology, and founder of Cruz Iñigo Dermatology LLC on Puerto Rico’s west coast. A graduate of Boston University and Weill Cornell Medical College, Andrés discovered his calling for dermatology during humanitarian work in Tanzania and immunology research at Rockefeller University. After training at Scripps Mercy and the Mayo Clinic, and practicing for nearly a decade at Scripps Clinic in San Diego, he returned home to Puerto Rico to serve the communities where he was raised. While his clinical interests span tropical dermatology and skin cancer treatment, he is currently developing a triage platform to improve skin cancer detection in the island's remote regions. Andrés enjoys every minute he can with his 10-year-old son, and nephews. True to his Eagle Scout roots, he is an avid outdoorsman who finds balance snowboarding, golfing, boating, and fishing—reflecting the deep connection and camaraderie that the Noah Worcester Society champions.
