Spartanburg Regional Medical Center Hospital
HE IS A VERY KNOWLEGABLE SURGEON, SEEM AS THOUGH HE WOULD HELP YOU IN ANY WAY THAT HE CAN TO HELP YOU LOOSE WEIGHT. I'm very excited that I found Dr. Ross, I'm working on getting the paper work together and getting an appointment to get the surgery scheduled. I see alot of my friends who have had the surgery and this is bad to say...but I feel jelous that they look so good and hoping that I will look the same.
Dr. Ross is a wonderful man, he has extreme talent. The office staff there is very friendly and know their bussiness. He believes in you and what he is doing and it shows all of his patients I have met have been so friendly and sharing. If I could rate Dr. Ross I would give him a 10 on a 1- 10 scale! Thanks Dr. Ross!
As soon as I met Dr. Ross, I knew that he was the surgeon for me. I realized rather quickly that he is a God fearing (respect) man. He isn't boastful or pushy about his love for the Lord. It is just very evident in his life. rnrnHe was very thorough at the information clinic but most of all you could tell that he really cares about each and every one of his patients. When I met with him one on one, he took as much time as I needed to answer my questions. rnHis office staff are just great. They, too, show you that they care and are glad that they can help you.rnFuture patients should know that he was a vascular surgeon before he started doing weight loss surgery. He said that he had operated on many obese patients because of problems from being obese so he decided to do weight loss surgery because he wanted to help the obese people to have a better life. I believe that is his ministry.rnFrom what I hear, he does have a very structured aftercare program which he emphasizes a lot. I know that he told me that he would be my doctor for the rest of my life.rnHe spent a lot of time explaining the risks of surgery at the clinic as well as at our one on one meeting.rnI would rate him on a scale of 1-10 as an 11 and I haven't even had the surgery yet.rnJust from what I have seen so far, I would say that his surgical competence and his bedside manner are both great.rnSo far, I have nothing negative to say.rnI thank the Lord that He has allowed me to be one of Dr. Ross' patients.
'Dr. Ross and his staff are amazing people. He has a humbling bedside manner that allows you to be comfortable and assured that he is not going to ever leave you with any unanswered questions. He is caring and compassionate towards me and makes me feel safe in knowing that he is going to be performing a life altering surgery on me. He never makes you feel rushed with his visits and takes as much time as needed in explaining any questions you or your family members may have. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering this surgery. I would have to say the greatest aspect of Dr. Ross is that he is a man of faith and feels that doing weight loss surgery is more so of a calling
I went to the Community Lecture on 9/21/05, and was impressed that Dr. Ross started this program in Spartanburg to HELP people. His compassion for people was further demonstrated on 9/24 at the Walk from Obesity. When one of his patients was slowly, but surely getting through the walk, Dr. Ross and his wife walked the last 2 or 3 laps with her. I'm still getting all my documentation for insurance, but can't wait to be a patient of Dr. Ross. I now have a surgery date, and am still very impressed with Dr. Ross and his staff. Angie is awesome with handling the insurance. I was approved within 4 days over the Christmas holidays!!
My first impression was that Dr. Paul Ross is a very special doctor. He was sincere and listened to what you had to say. He always took his time with you and was/is really concerened about how you felt. My imperssion of him has grown better, he is a good Christian man that believes in the best for his patients. The nurses in his office were always nice and attentive. Yes, he is concerned about aftercare, we were urged to attend all the support meetings, and his assistant is also concerned with you learning about everything you can before and after surgery. Dr. Ross explained about all the complacations that could go wrong if you didn't go by the plans.He also told you about the benefits. 16 months after my surgery I have lost 127lbs., I am off of my diabetes medication, all my blood work is normal, I can breath better, and I feel so much more like a human again. Over all I think Dr.Ross is "The Greastest". The day after my surgery he came in my room, sat down with me and talked to me for at least 30 minutes, not many doctors take that kind of time with their pts. He is a really nice and kind person, and I would recomend him to any one considering surgery. I even talked my Dad into talking to him about doing his surgey an his thyroid, he liked Dr.Ross, and my Dad is 82 and very hard to please. Here's to you Dr.Paul Ross, you are the best.

I had my surgical consult with Dr Ross on the 18th. He was very informative and explained more indepth about the risks associated with the surgery and what to expect and answered my questions and addressed my concerns. He shows concern for his patients and each one seems to be just as important as the next. I like that.
I dont feel quite as worried because I feel that I am in good hands with Dr Ross.
