Treatment Philosophy
I treat all patients as if they were my relative. It is vital to me that patients understand everything about their disease and treatment. A patient should never have any unanswered questions after leaving my office. I am passionate about helping my patients to live the life they want.
The meeting was a virtual meeting with doctor and it allowed me to get all my question answered.
Good.
Great operation.
Best ever care.
First experience with Dr. ross and was very satisfied with care.
Dr. Ross and his admin. assistant [...] know me personal and are very responsive to my scheduling needs, blood orders, & f.u. colonoscopies. [...] friendly & excellent at what they do! I am so grateful!
I've been seeing Dr. Ross for a number of years now. He is thorough in his job which is to check to make sure I have no signs of a prior illness. He also has a great sense of humor to round out his overall manner.
The staff & provider were very professional in all areas of my time there.
