    I've had appointments with several maxillofacial and oral surgeons over the years, and Dr. Gross is truly top tier. HeÕs incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything in a way thatÕs easy to understand. What really sets him apart is how kind and attentive he is, especially with my son. He makes him feel heard, comfortable, and proud of himself during each visit. We actually travel from Idaho to Utah just to see Dr. Gross because the level of care he provides is unmatched. Highly recommend!

Everything youÕd want in a surgeon. I felt truly cared for and confident in his hands. IÕm so grateful for the excellent care I received. Dr. Gross is a rare combination of compassion, precision, and professionalism. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing maxillofacial/TMJ care. HeÕs simply outstanding in every way!

    Dr. Gross is friendly and explained my diagnosis and treatment options in great detail. I appreciated that he was speaking to me and not at me. He included me in conversation and helped me make an informed decision about going forward with surgery and treatment.
