About Richard Ross, MD  

Richard L. Ross, MD, loves the ‘art’ of medicine as well as the science. His goal with his patients is to establish and maintain long-term relationships for continuity of care. Dr. Ross believes in listening to his patients and empowering them to take ownership of their health care to achieve their goals.   

Dr. Ross believes in the continual personal pursuit of education and knowledge, and you can often find him reading up on the most current science and medicine. He incorporates his love of exercise into his medical practice by offering sports medicine and by encouraging his patients to live a healthy lifestyle that encompasses exercise, acts of self-kindness, and proper nutrition.   

Certified by the American Board of Family Medicine, Dr. Ross received his medical degree from the McGill University Faculty of Medicine in Montreal, Canada, then completed both his internship and residency at the St. Mary’s Hospital in Montreal, Canada.   

When not with patients, Dr. Ross enjoys outdoor activities such as running and cycling. But you can also find him reading an enjoyable book from time-to-time.  

Dr. Ross is an excellent physician, who has been my family’s GP for decades. He is friendly, good humored, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable, and has kept me in good health all of that time.

Somehow he always gets you into the exam room in less than 15 minutes. He sees you promptly after vitals. I think he's one of the best primary care doctors on staff. He listens and provides honest answers.
