Dr. Ross is a real professional with great bedside manner. And while the procedure was uncomfortable in a very private area, he was sure to keep me at ease, explain everything in great detail, and also also engage with conversations with me to distract me from it. He is also very informative and explains things in a simple and concise manner. For having to deal with the problem I’m facing, I wouldn’t want anyone else. He’s a great doctor.
