Biography
Robert C. Cross, M.D. is an Invasive Noninterventional Cardiologist.
Meet the Doctor
Hello, my name is Dr. Robert Cross. I am a Lee Health cardiologist, and I'm originally from Hamilton Township, New Jersey. I joined Lee Health back in 2010 right out of fellowship.
My wife and I have relatives in Florida and always liked the climate. And then we were happy to join. It's a nice mix of practicing university medicine, but in a private atmosphere. I was drawn to cardiology. I like the multiple aspects of the specialty. You have office patients, but you also still continue to go to the hospital, as well as procedural aspects.
This is what drew me to the specialty. I'm fortunate to be married to a wonderful woman, and we have three beautiful children, so I do a lot of family activities. We travel a lot with the kids, the typical outdoor beach, pool, sports in the neighborhood, golf, tennis, health care, or gym. And just try to spend time with family and friends.
