Thank you for being there during these tough medical times!
I was very very happy and comfortable with both providers and relieved after visit.
Always a great experience at Stanford. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, caring.
Listened to every question I had and gave back everything I wanted answered!
Bright excellent young Doctor
Delightful, kind, skilled, reassuring, knows what she's doing and does it well
Dr ROSS was attentive, and listened carefully to answers I provided to her questions. Dr ROSS also listened carefully to my questions and responded clearly and in language I could understand by using plain english when appropriate instead of "Medic-speak" or somewhat medically technical explanations. I enjoyed the conversation and feel very confident about what is going to happen next. I am somewhat disappointed that SUTTER Health did NOT provide the Sonogram information to STANFORD when I specifically advised them that it should be done.
Dt. Ross was kind, caring, and very thorough.
Love her
Very good.
Dr. Elsie Ross was just a wonderful and delightful person as can be very keen, right on point.
My first meeting with Dr. Ross. She had done her homework on my case and knew it in detail. Top notch doctor!!
The doctor is very efficient.
Loved Dr. Ross' bedside manner! Dr. Ross explained my health details so I understood everything happening, very kind and professional.
Dr. Ross zeroed right in on my health history. I appreciate how knowledgeable and thorough she was with our time together. A++.
Dr. Ross was great! Her positive energy and warm demeanor immediately put me at ease. She explained issues clearly and thoroughly and when I needed additional testing got it for me on the spot.
Good.
Dr. Elsie Ross was a complete pleasure to deal with - Felt very at ease with her.
Provider is very thorough with her examination with patient and every details is explained well.
I had an extremely positive visit with Dr. Elsie Ross. She was very friendly, understanding, and she explained all information clearly.
She was excellent! She actually put hands on and did exam. Took a great deal of time. Again though, wasn't aware (or so she said) why were there & what had transpired prior to coming.
Excellent.
Dr. Ross is an outstanding physician!! She is an asset to Stanford.
Dr. Ross is an amazing doctor/woman.
