Rosanna De La Cruz, DACM, L.Ac, is a holistic endocrinologist at Riverdale Holistic Center, an acupuncture practice located in Riverdale, New York. Her practice focuses on reproductive health, and she is a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine licensed in New York State. 

Rosanna graduated from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine with a Bachelor of Science and a Master in Oriental Medicine degree and later pursued a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, with a focus on integrative medicine.

Rosanna comes from a family of medical doctors, including her parents. Her mother is an internal doctor in Valencia, Spain, and her father is a primary care physician in the Dominican Republic. She completed her pre-med courses in the Dominican Republic.

When she had the opportunity to enroll in college in the USA; knowing the limitations and benefits of conventional medicine firsthand; she remembered an old saying in her country when someone was very sick, they would say, “Not even a Chinese doctor can save him/her.” She always knew that natural medicine was very effective and powerful. She chose to pursue a career where she could help her patients live a higher quality of life.

Rosanna worked for major corporations in many leadership positions for many years, where she has had the opportunity to escalate and be promoted several times and earn a 6-figure income.

However, while she was working in the corporate world, a family member was diagnosed with pre-cancerous cells in her cervix, and she did not have insurance; she relied on an acupuncturist to provide treatments every three days and after six months of treatments, she was free of cancerous cells. This, and her family’s medical history, inspired Rosanna to study Oriental Medicine.

She knows the natural state of our human body is healthy. Her mission is to “help her patients heal and live a life full of joy.” She is passionate about helping her patients achieve hormonal balance and pain relief and has treated thousands of patients suffering from hormonal imbalance, including thyroid disorders, PCOS, PMS, menopause, diabetes, endometriosis, difficulty conceiving, and chronic as well as acute pain. 

She is fully committed to supporting your journey to a healthier lifestyle.

When Rosanna is not treating patients at her clinic, she enjoys spending time in nature walking and hiking. She loves reading, meditating, and spending time with her children – Isa and Ariana – and her friends and family. ​
