Ross is very computer savvy, I never feel like he spending more time on the computer than spending with me. I always feel like he's listening to me and looking at me at the same time. This makes me very comfortable. I would highly recommend him to any one of my friends Or family

My care was very good and I sincerely wish I had gone into the office rather than the emergency room the day prior!
  Jan 11, 2024
I felt Ross was in a rush. I had additional questions but once he thought he was done he left. I had additional questions written down, but he was gone before I could get and review what I had written down to see If all my concerns and questions had been answered. Major questions were covered.

I am hearing impaired. 77 yrs old. Difficult to talk via phone. I recovered from Covid again recently but soon developed high fever, fatigue, cough, etc. I use emails. I tried like he'll to use myhealth,my heart, and failed too even get into it. I ended up at Vancouver urgent care. I was very sick after 2 visits they said go see your main provider. Again I tried reaching someone but finally gave up and was able to sign up for visit however when it said it would send me a text to verify my phone # it NEVER sent a text....it wasn't until the next day it finally worked but it should not be so difficult. I had to wait a few more days suffering. I still have difficulty getting into myhealth, mychart, etc. It was during holidays, I am old patient probably with Long covid with 105 degree temp causing brain fog. It should not have been so difficult.

I am always very concerned about privacy and the accuracy of my mental health records, especially in terms of my personal dignity and for future work life balance. As for Ross and his assistant, and this visit, he is compassionate and professional. I truly appreciate him and the healthcare over these years. He provides a consistent, effective balance of compassion and clinical when giving care.

Good: Results of my visit confirmed no Infection. Rx. For pain given. Plan for future care made w referral to a specialist. Bad: Referral to a specialist: Wait time for an appointment possibly 4 mos out, not the fault of my provider.
