I am a patient of Dr. Ross. I recently had surgery with him and I must say that I am even better than expected. Ms Riley provided me with lots of information going in and throughout recovery. She even called me on a Saturday to make sure that I was okay. His office has went above and beyond my expectations.

I became a new patient to Dr. Ross office in Jan, 2019. The visit was well over 3 hours. Omg! The wait was well worth it. The visit was very thorough. Dr. Ross saved my life. His surgical tech Riley is the best on the planet. She is a very dedicated employee to his office. She treated me as if she has been knowing me forever. She also made sure that I understood everything thing that was going on and even found me a new primary care doctor. Riley understands the patient and our needs. I am blessed to have met her and Dr. Ross.

I've been treated by Dr. Ross for many years. His examinations are extensive and through. Dr. Ross takes time with his patients and is concerned with their health. I find him to be very smart , articulate with his diagnosis and up to date in his field. You may have to wait on your appointment day but when it comes to my eyes, Dr. Ross is worth it.
