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.

Excellent care
Dr. Cross actually talks to me and explains what to expect of surgery and recovery. His staff has been thoughtful and efficient. I've had both of my shoulders repaired and have recovered well.

Excellent, I find him very willing to spend time answering. Have had 2 total knee replacements, 1 in 2015 and 1 in 2022. With excellent results on both. Would definitely let him do any other ortho. surgeries necessary.

Very poor outcome to hip replacement, replacement. Dr. Cross did not come speak to my husband after my surgery was completed. Very cavalier attitude. He had operated on me previously, doing a right and left hip replacement and a total right shoulder replacement. He also operated on my son 4 times for high school sports injuries. I have had foot surgery in the recent past to make walking with a walker easier. No satisfactory explanation was ever given for my loss of use of my lower left leg. D
