Stephen Ross, MD

I was referred to Dr. Ross when I moved to LA whose family had been patients for many years. I’ve gone to him for probably 10 now and couldn’t be happier. It’s so hard to find a doctor that you trust, listens to me, and makes me feel so well cared for. I think it’s also hard to find doctors who treat you in such a well balanced way– most of them tend to either be on one extreme of giving way too extreme medication/​shots or on the other of telling you to fix pneumonia with a neti pot. He strikes just the right balance and is so knowledgeable. Don’t want to think about what I’ll do when he retires!

Dr. Ross has been our family physician since 2000 when we moved to the westside. Per Ms. B’s review, «They don’t come any better than Dr. Ross.» Dr. Ross is extremely knowledgeable, kind and compassionate, indeed.

They dont come any better than Dr. Ross. He has been my dr for about 20 years. He has always been compassionate knowledgeable and kind. He really listens to me if I want to use vitamins or alternative measures rather than pharmaceuticals. When my gynecologist passed away after 26 years with him, I had to switch that part of my health to Dr. Ross, which was embarrassing, but he always calms me down and puts me at ease. I do not think you could find a kinder or more empathetic helpful doctor. HES THE BEST!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Ross. He takes his time, is thorough, and is very pleasant. I’ve been seeing him for over 10 years and he has consistently provided excellent care. The office staff and nurses are friendly and professional. The parking is terrible.

My previous GP retired from patient care after 20+ years and his successor relocated his practice to an inconvenient location and I found myself looking for a new GP. Dr. Ross was recommended to me by an on-​line acquaintance and it turns out that he was an early mentor of my original GP.
For the first couple of years, the only negative input was from a friend who was horrified that I’d chosen Dr. Ross. She reported that he’d simply left the room when her daughter had started throwing up in his examining room and was very unengaged. This did not match my experience to that point, but…
After a couple of years, I suffered an injury that required X-​rays, an MRI, and ultimately surgery. Dr. Ross was very weak on pushing the required paperwork through Blue Cross and left on vacation without making sure that someone in his office would energetically pursue the matter. Some symptoms became worse and I saw an associate of his who not only got the first paperwork pushed through but ordered additional tests and got them approved… it turned out that I needed surgery.
The second doctor’s crisp and quick response really was a stark contrast to Dr. Ross’ response and I subsequently switched doctors. A specialist expressed surprise at Dr. Ross’ initial lack of diagnostic response to my injury and said that perhaps he was just slowing down.
Dr. Ross isn’t awful but there are better doctors out there. I was very disappointed.
