Dr Ostrow performed a melanoma excision on my lower leg in January, 2025. Her nurse, Maryam…read moreMajdi-Yazdi, ignored signs of infection (seroma, swelling, etc) while removing my sutures two weeks later; she did not document those symptoms in the clinical support notes or have a doctor look at the excision. When I sought medical treatment because the excision site had split open and the infection worsened, Maryam told me that the excision site had been fine when she removed the sutures (I have pictures from that show signs of infection the day sutures were removed) and told me that the excision had split open because I had worn sneakers. While taking antibiotics, I developed sweating/clammy skin, chills, extreme fatigue (i.e. sleeping 10-12 hours a day; I typically sleep 5-6 hours a day), appetite loss (i.e eating nothing for more than a week), etc. I contacted Dr. Ostrow as I was concerned that I may have developed a blood infection as I had had symptoms of a surgical site infection for almost 4 weeks prior to beginning antibiotics. Dr. Ostrow did NOT examine me; instead, she had one of her nurses tell me over the telephone that I had an upper respiratory infection completely unrelated to the surgical site staph infection. Keep in mind that I had avoided germ exposure, crowds, stores, etc for 2-3 weeks before and after the excision. My excision site remained an open wound with brown drainage for 2-3 months AFTER completing the single round of antibiotics prescribed. Dr, Ostrow told me that "these things just take a while to heal." She did NOT do any additional tests, prescribe an additional course of antibiotics or consider/recommend additional treatment. I would discourage patients from using Dr. Ostrow and/or her nurses for procedures. Or at the very least have an advocate/witness present.

Dr. Hooper thought my chronic cough was likely due to post-nasal drip, but my ENT disagreed and said the problem was more likely due to allergic-caused cough-variant asthma. My pulmonary function tests showed some deficiencies, but nothing major. Chest CT was normal except for some port-surgical scarring after left pneumothorax x2 surgical repairs and pleurodesis. I'm getting mixed messages from my doctors, but my cough is much improved after discontinuing Singular.

He called me prior to our first visit and informed me that he was not comfortable with results of the most recent lung test done by another physician, and ordered a new set . His opinion was correct, the prior test results were wrong, I was unresponsive to the prior treatments because I was allergic to some ingredients in the medication prescribed prior. He took the time to explain what was going on, what he was doing, and told me he hoped to see me in 1 year. I have not had a bout with emphysema or bronchitis since I've been under his care.

Stupidly, I yielded to her "expertise" and allowed her to cut a hole in my arm which turned out to be a freckle...with a higher bill and 4 weeks of healing!!! STILL HAVE A HUGE SCAR months later! She froze a few other precancer areas which I question now as well. She is as other's note rather aggressive and lacking bedside manner. You sort of feel like a piece of meat on the table which I have never experienced before. Only switched docs due to insurance coverage changes but I will return to my previous office and pay cash over this. Trust your gut, get a second opinion and do not agree to procedures that don't feel right.

She took her time to explain to me about the risks of lasers on different skin types. Me having some ethnic type skin but, being fair skin could have potential risks such as skin darkening... So instead of just going for the LASER she suggested trying the creams first. Products like retinol and products that protect the skin from sun damage. She was very professional and realistic. There was no up sale or pressure of any kind... My husband has been a patient here for at least 10 years. He could have easily find a facility that's closer to home but, he would rather drive further for better quality and care... All the staff were very friendly, welcoming and professional...

I debated for a long time whether to leave this review, but ultimately I feel that people…read moreconsidering this practice should hear about my experience. A little over two years ago, I underwent several procedures here, including a deep plane facelift, rhinoplasty, neck lift, liposuction, and earlobe reduction. Unfortunately, my results were far from satisfactory. I ended up with multiple complications and cosmetic issues. I have a visible hollowing/depression along my lower face that is especially noticeable when I smile. My jawline contour is uneven rather than smooth and straight. My nose actually appears more crooked than before surgery, remains quite bulbous, and the breathing issues I hoped to correct were never resolved. I also developed pixie ear deformity after the facelift. The emotional impact of these results was significant. To make matters more confusing, the surgeon who performed my surgery later disappeared from the practice. I was never given a clear explanation as to whether he left or was no longer employed there. The practice did offer some corrective procedures. A fat transfer was performed to address the hollow area in my face, but the fat did not survive, so the defect remains. They also repaired the pixie ear, but I was left with a noticeable scar beneath the ear. For the remaining issues, I was essentially told that I would need to undergo additional surgery and pay for it myself. More than two years later, I still have breathing problems, persistent tightness in my neck, an uneven jawline, and cosmetic concerns that were never resolved. After everything I have been through, this experience has been deeply disappointing, and I would not recommend this practice to anyone.

Rather, he looks you in the eyes and listens (how rare is that?) and then takes his time to answer any and all questions you have. During an actual procedure, he talks to you the whole time, explaining exactly what he's doing and what to expect. In a day and age when many feel that "healthcare" is a miserable failure, and doctors are either so bogged down with ridiculous protocols that the patient feels they are reduced to a mere number, or when the patient's plan forces them to seek care from an MD suffering from "white god-coat syndrome", Dr. Andrew L. Ross is a serious breath of fresh air! Should my insurance change in the future and not cover any visits to Dr. Ross, I will somehow manage to cut corners on other expenses, save my money, and pay him out of pocket. He's just that good!
