Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Cross is the nicest doctor. He is very personable, timely and really cares about you.

I had back surgery, T-10 to S1 fused and two rods. I was having problems later internally which had nothing to do with the surgery that became serious. Dr. Cross was called in and in three days he performed a cecal volvulas. In my mind he saved my life??????.

Dr Cross is truly dedicated to patient care. My healthcare needs are a top priority when I'm in his care. I saw many Drs for my illness and the only one willing and able to help was this amazing physician. I am so grateful. He takes time to address questions and concerns. I would recommend him to anyone. And I trust my life and care in his hands.

Dr. Cross is one of the most compassionate, talented and impressive medical professionals I have ever met. We have gone through multiple internal surgeries together and I trust him implicitly. He is truly dedicated to patient care and comfort. When I was in the hospital, he would come by before and after very long days of surgery to check in. He spent all the time we needed to address my questions. I have recommended Dr. Cross to numerous family members and friends.

I can't tell you how much we love Dr. Cross. He has been wonderful to my baby brother who was diagnosed with lung cancer and had to have his lung removed. Dr. Cross has taken the time to answer all of our questions and he treated us with respect and compassion. He is amazing and Jon is so thankful that he was referred to Dr. Cross. Highly recommend him !
