Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly Recommend
Dr. Gross is professional, calm, thorough and I have been with her for many years now. She performed my cataract surgery and was very clear and understood my fears. The results were excellent. The office itself is welcoming, and her staff are all excellent and well-trained.

Excellent Ophthalmologist
Dr. Gross is extremely thorough during the exam, takes the time to listen and answers all your questions. She is up to date on all the new procedures in eye care and is an excellent surgeon. My husband and I have been patients for over 20 years and would highly recommend her for all your eye care needs.

I was early but was taken almost immediately. Little time elapsed between each step of the annual eye exam. Dr. Gross kept me informed of what she was doing. I was very satisfied.

Dr. Gross and her staff are the absolute best!
Dr. Gross and her staff are 1st class. They were thorough, efficient and friendly. A receptionists transported me in a wheel chair from our car and another receptions transported me back to our car at appointment end, as I recently had a stroke. Dr. Gross and her technician were very accommodating, thorough and helpful in terms of my eye exam. Thanks to all for making my appointment as pleasant and effective as possible!

One of the best Physicians I have
I've been seeing Dr. Gross for many years since I have diabetes and she is great. This time, Dr. Gross was again very thorough and polite. She carefully explained the reasons for my increasingly 'cloudy' vision that I am experiencing - and it's not diabetes related. While intervention is not yet needed, it may be in the future. But we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

Gross, M.D.. May 19, 2023 I messed up and was very late. I did call and was extremely apologetic when I arrived. The office was amazing: Don't worry. Things happen. It's Ok.. As always Dr. Gross was welcoming, took her time with me, and explained everything.

Excellent experience
Dr. Holly Gross was thorough, friendly, kind, and completely explained my conditions and options. It was easy to get a cataract consultation, but I understand that there is a long wait for a regular exam with her. However, there is another doctor in the group who can see patients more quickly for a routine exam. I highly recommend Dr. Gross.

Great staff, very nice and comfortable modern office, and Dr Gross is a talented, perceptive, skilled, thorough, communicative, and caring physician. She's all I could have asked for in an eye doctor, and I'm SO glad I am older than her, so she doesn't retire on me!
