“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.”

“Dr. Ross is one of those rare and incredible doctors who is deeply knowledgeable, skilled and has a wonderful bedside manner. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
