“I saw Dr. Ross for my shoulder in May 2017. What an incredible Doctor. I was very impressed with his knowledge and willingness to address all of my issues (shoulder and carpal). I guess his enthusiasm as a Doctor was what I found to be the most impressive and this relates directly to his patient interaction. I had a very positive experience.”
