Dr Ross's orintation lecture is packed with a lot of information, he and his staff make sure you understand everything concerning the gastric bypass or lapband. Over the last 6 months I have learned alot and he will always make sure with each consult to answer every single question. He always makes you feel as if you are his "only' patient.
He has a award winning program and he emphasizes this is a not a quick fix but a life style change. He also gives you the tools to be sucessful from day one...
On a scale of 1-10 he has a 10 +
Dr. Ross is very down to earth and easy to talk to. He makes sure to answer all your questions and concerns. Everyone, and I do mean everyone involved with your surgery are all top notch professionals. And everyone involved will go out of their way to help you if you need it. rnrnAfter insurance acceptance, everything went exactly as I was told. Everything leading up to and including post-op was a pleasant experience. Dr. Ross doesn't run this like most surgeons do, as if it were a meat factory, getting patients in and out as fast as possible to keep the money rolling in. You're actually treated with a lot of care and respect. I had absolutely no complaints about Dr. Ross or anyone else involved with him. rnrnMy surgery was bumped up from being the last or next to last on Tuesday, to being the first patient Monday morning. Before the surgery, we went over everything he was going to do again. Again, everyone involved in the OR were professional, friendly and respectful. Post surgery, again everyone was wonderful. I don't really remember much about the recovery room, but the staff on the 6th floor was for the most part, awesome. And Dr. Ross keeps a very, very close watch on your recovery. Now it's on to all the classes and everything after surgery. I'm sure all of this will be just as professional and informative and useful as everything else regarding the process. rnrnrnrnThe bottom line is simply this - I went through two different seminars. One in Greenville, where I sat around and waited for nearly three hours, til they pop up at the very end of the seminar and announce that they require an extra $2000 to be seen by this particular doctor, because they are a \"Center of Excellence\" and they promised an awful lot of bells and whistles and nice things that the other doctors in the area didn't or wouldn't provide. What they don't tell you is that you have to go to 'their' support groups, see 'their' Psych, etc. etc. With Dr. Ross, you get the same exact treatment, as they're a Center of Excellence, as well, and you're not tied down to having to see their approved psychs, go to only their support groups, etc. And the best part, no $2000 upfront fee. Personally, I'm glad that I didn't choose to go to the Dr. in Greenville, because after going through 3 previous surgeries, I can honestly say that Dr. Ross is by and far the BEST surgeon that I've ever dealt with. And, he actually cares about his patients and goes out of his way to prove it. You simply can't go wrong with Dr. Ross.

Dr Ross was great. He was very inlformative from the first day I met him till the time I had surgery and days after.
Dr. Ross is extremely nice and respectful. Has a willingness to help and to answer all your questions and concerns. After my 1st appointment with him, I knew I had made the right choice. The staff is very busy but still pleasant.rnDr. Ross has a great structured program, starting with attending the seminar. At the very informatative seminar you are given an outline exactly step by step process. So far I have followed this outline and everything has gone smoothly and in a timely manner (although it seems nothing happens soon enough when you are anxious and waiting to get approved and have surgery).rnI haven't been approved yet (waiting), so I will follow-up with how is staff continue their efforts and how Dr. Ross is as a surgeon... right now I have nothing bad to say.
My first impression of Dr. Ross was nothing but good. I have thought from the first minute I saw him speaking to a seminar group that he seemed very down-to-earth and friendly. My appoints with him were all relaxed and I didn't feel like I was just one of a herd who had been given some kind of short audience with the king. He listened to my concerns, answered my questions, even arranged a chance for my anti-WLS mom to come and talk to him.rnrnHis office staff (Angie in particular) is wonderful. I was treated well...they laughed with me, and they worked with me on everything.rnrnWhat did I like least? Well, I guess the fact that he couldn't snap his fingers and make this happen instead of having to cut into me?rnrnI'd recommend Dr. Ross to ANYONE interested in WLS. The aftercare is great and they teach you everything you need to know. I started out in another program where you had to spend soooooooo much time in classes I was going to use up every second of paid time off from work. I don't want to draw my new anatomy. I just want to have it, know how it works, and be able to take care of it.rnrnI just love Dr. Ross and I can't think of a negative thing to say about him (and I did try so you'll know I'm not sugar-coating). He's the nicest surgeon I've ever met (and considering my husband's multiple surgeries that's saying a lot!) and his expertise is unquestionable. rnrnIf you have any other questions, message me!
my first impression was very good. he is a soft spoken man and very well manered, he makes you feel at ease. my impression of dr. ross has only got stronger over the past year. he gives all his attention to you when your in for a visit. his staff is ok. most of them are nice, there is however a office lady that can get quite rude, she really dont need a job in which she must be helpful and cordall to people, shes very snooty. i wont give her name, but i will tell you that she is a white woman. i really dont have any dislikes of dr. ross. if he wasnt married, id marry him, i love him to death hes an excellent surgeon.i would tell any future patient they cant go wrong with dr. ross i will recomend him every chance i get. he was great with the after care, he goes strictly by the book. dr. ross explained all the risks that could occur with surgery. and will answer any quesstions you have, and comfort you about the fear you may have about it. my overall rating of dr. ross is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC HEs the BEST!!! what more can i say. hes aces to me. his surgical expertice and total competence is amazing, and his bedside manner is kind and caring, hes one in a million..
My 1st impression of Dr. Ross was he is very knowledgable in his field. That has not changed. Dr. Ross is an awesome, caring Dr. and a Christian man too! I have been very impressed by his bedside manner and always willing to answer any questions I have had or offer suggestions for my being able to better deal with things related to my surgery. He is so caring and definitly a GODSEND. I am so thankful our paths have crossed and his GOD given skill has given me a new lease on life!rnrnDr. Ross has an awesome WLS support group and they emphasize getting in your protein, vitimins, water, and exercise. He fully explained the risks of surgery, which I feel in my case were far outweighed by the benefits of my loosing weight! rnrnDr. Ross is a very competant surgeon and I would rate his bedside manner as a 10! rnThank you Dr. Ross for my new lease on life!
I have been to three different surgeons in my area and decided to go to Dr. Ross. After my visit with him two weeks ago I felt so at ease and was so glad I chose him.
