Our Mission

Cherokee Women’s OB/GYN was founded in 1993 by the prominent Atlanta physician Dr. James Lee Cross to bring quality health care to the women of Cherokee County. Arriving in Cherokee County as its lone obstetrician, within two years Dr. Cross reduced the infant morbidity and mortality rate by almost half. He continued his work in the county, even while battling through a bout of cancer and its treatment.

Although the field of women’s health care has changed and grown, we still look to Dr. Cross’s example in many ways. Non-invasive laparoscopic surgery has seen many advances. Infertility treatments are more complex and more successful. Anti-aging cosmetic services and nutritional and hormone approaches to better health are coming into their own.

Through it all, we are dedicated to providing you with the very best advances in women’s health care, following in the footsteps of Dr. Cross and his commitment to our community. We are here to take care of you.
