EXCELLENT SURGEON!!! I can’t say enough good about Dr. Christopher Gross. I had a very complicated surgery that I was not comfortable with having done locally. I traveled 125 miles and it was well worth it. From the staff at the registration, to the ones assisting Dr. Gross, to Dr. Gross himself…. Awesome! From the first visit to evaluate the extent of my injury to the follow up after
