He is aware of my family situation - my wife is ill, and always asks about her, and how it is affecting me.

My provider is usually always on time. This visit he was running a little late due to lack of support staff. Staff came in to help as we were finishing up. Something was off in the operation of the office but not with the doctor.

Ross is always prepared, knows my chart, and is on top of recent developments. My last visit was a check up and a special visit because I re-injured my shoulder and had to visit an emergency room in Vienna, Austria. We went over the medications prescribed there and he reminded me that I had been referred to orthopedics before but hadn't gone. Instead I went to physical therapy. I now have an appointment with an orthopedist for later this month.

I like seeing DR. Ross. He has been my primary doctor for a few years. He guides me with care and never makes me feel uncomfortable or unheard. He gives me honest advise and feedback that fits my lifestyle.
