Stephen A. Cross, MD

Dr. Cross performed my bilateral cataract surgery in October 2025 and I couldn't be more thankful for such a great outcome! I can now read, drive and watch TV without glasses for the first time in 35 years and that is amazing!!!

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.

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.

My father, who has dementia, has been a patient of Dr. Cross for approximately 8 to 10 years. My father was seen by Dr. Cross in August of 2022, and at that time Dr. Cross referred him to both a neurological ophthalmologist and a glaucoma specialist for assessment. It was understood by my mother that Dr. Cross was to meet with them after the referral appointments for follow up and future planning. Over the course of 5 months, my mother left multiple messages in an attempt to find out about a return appointment with Dr. Cross. She receive one response from someone in the office who stated my father was not a patient! My mother then explained the above situation and was told this would be discussed with Dr. Cross and they would let my mother know something soon. As of now, at least a month has gone by and no response has been received as promised. As their daughter, I am absolutely disgusted that my two elderly parents, one with dementia, have been treated so poorly and overlooked by what is supposed to be a professional medical office!

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!!!

My Optomologist, Dr Crosswell, is the consummate professional he goes about his business in and out of my eye checking for changes and reporting every thing as he sees it. I haven't had a problem with wait time or any other inconveniences. Satisfied customer.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Cross! He is the only doctor who successfully treated me for shingles in my right eye. I had previously gone to 3 doctors, and the shingles kept coming back. I followed him to Columbia Eye Clinic from Palmetto Health Ophthalmology. He just performed cataract surgery on both eyes, and I have never had clear vision like I do now. I have worn glasses since 3rd grade. I'm so thankful for Dr. Cross and the wonderful staff there.

I've had my share of cornea doctors and Dr. Cross totally met all my expectations. I have been looking for a cornea doctor within a 30 mile radius and I am so glad I found him!! The office staff and nurses are wonderful to deal with and very pleasant!!
