Dr. Cross is the best cornea specialist. His office workers and nurses are all number 1 in my opinion. They are all friendly and informative. Dr. Cross has saved my husbands eye. He got shingles in his eye we were sent to Dr. cross and he has done two corneal transplants. We have had nothing but GREAT service!!!
Dr. Cross is wonderful! He did corneal surgery on my right eye and I will have him do the same for my left eye. He and his staff are informative, very professional, friendly, patient, and extremely helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better eye dr. to address my particular needs.
Dr. Cross successfully did a cornea transplant on my husband. He has a wonderful bedside manner and is kind and friendly. We think he is a great doctor. We highly recommend him.
Efficient and compassionate service from the entire team. My recovery was smooth, and the results of the cataract surgery are outstanding. I can see clearly now, and it has made a world of difference in my daily life.
