Dr. Ian B Ross, MD

The best dr ever!!!

A great Neurosergeon ????

First impression was less than favorable with Dr. Ross. He was arrogant, made it obvious that he wasn't interested in treating me, as soon as I started to answer his questions - he cut me off as said he had to go. I was looking for a direction to some sort of treatment. He just lectured me and said that no amount of natural weight loss would help, that I should have gastric bypass. Said my problem wasn't very severe, but kept talking about how many extra calories I was probably consuming if I sat on the couch "crunching on chips". Also told me of how his daughter had weight loss surgery because she was having social, career, and self confidence issues because of her weight. NOTE: I am aware that weight loss would indeed improve my condition, however, I am looking for a solution to the pain I am in so I can exercise. Overall, I felt like this was a waste of my time, and that he had a terrible attitude. He may be a great surgeon, but was not interested in having me as a patient.

I rated "poor" for "follows up after visit" because Dr. Ross doesn't follow up. I don't know any doctor that does. He does recommend follow up appointments, but that's different.

Dr. Ross really knows his stuff. Very competent with impressive credentials.

Awful Experience. Please stay away from this doctor and this office

I've had a lot of surgery over the past few years but there have been few doctors that actually stood out as being excellent. Doctor Ross definitely did. He was kind and very focused on listening to what problems I was having. He diagnosed me accurately and we were able to schedule surgery quickly after he answered my many many many questions. He did an excellent job and was very kind to me when I was in the hospital. I could tell he was busy but he lingered to chat for a minute when he was seeing me in my hospital room. He seemed genuinely thrilled when I showed him how much better I was doing at a follow up visit. I don't know where I would be if it weren't for him.

His staff is very freindly and fast at getting back to you. Doctor Ross is great! He's known at the "Rock Star" at Huntington Hospital he's that good! I believe that!

A family member had neck surgery and was told by Dr. Ross that it would only be "a few days" before going home. Two plus weeks later at a rehab location and with zero calls about how things were progressing, we had to finally call him for an appointment. Dr. Ross refused to see his patient in rehab. Instead, he insisted on having the patient transported to his office, since he said that he 'hates nursing homes' and just 'doesn't go there', even though his office is less than a five minute walk from the rehab unit and can be SEEN from his office.

I picked Dr.Ross out of the phone book, desperate for back surgery, the surgeon that had been recommended to me had a waiting list of 2 months, I got in the following day to see Dr. Ross.He explained the procedure to me and all that could happen for and against surgery and gave me the decision, of which I made, to have surgery after being in acute agony for 3 weeks. Not only is he a great surgeon he is also caring. After being in agony and unable to move, after the surgery the pain was gone immediately. He truly is an angel from heaven. Thanks so much Dr. Ross.
