Dr. Gross is, by far, one the most competent and empathetic psychiatrists I've seen in a long time. I am extremely surprised to see a couple of negative reviews, so I feel like I need to inform people reading the posts of my experience.
1. Contrary to another reviewer's opinion, Dr. Gross does not give patients "whatever they ask for." He does not put a band-aid on the illness, but rather attempts to find the underlying cause and treats accordingly. He is careful and thorough with his examinations and, with patient input prescribes what he feels would be most beneficial. He does not limit his care by taking certain medications off of the table, but also will not just prescribe a medication because a patient requests it. Certain doctors do not prescribe controlled substances at all. Dr. Gross does prescribe them if he feels they will be effective and is not careless when doing so.
2. The same reviewer I mentioned above commented that the charge of $150 is ridiculous and that Dr. Gross is money hungry. Because of the level of care I feel that I am getting an awesome deal at less than $200 a month. Dr. Gross does not accept insurance, so it only makes sense that the visits cost what they do. He is not "money hungry." In fact he is the opposite. During my very first appointment he told me that once the medications started working and I was stable he would would schedule the appointments every two to three months instead of once a month. He understands that it can be difficult pay for monthly appointments and will still continue to refill the medications at no cost between appointments
3. In my opinion the receptionists are awesome. They have always been helpful and are flexible with appointment times. I have not had any bad experiences with them at all.
4. Because I have an issue with being assertive and articulating exactly how I feel, he was more than happy to let my girlfriend sit in on the appointment. I was very grateful for this and she appreciated the invitation
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Gross to anyone who has been unsuccessful in their treatment with other providers, as I have. He caught things that I had overlooked for years and I am lucky to have found him. He speaks to you as an equal and very willing to put in the work to help in any way he can read more
