    Dr. Gross has been a wonderful surgeon! As I have stated before she is a great listener and never seems to be in a rush during appointments. Some of my questions I did not want to ask, but because I felt so comfortable with her I did ask them. When it was time for surgery, I was very confident and not nervous at all because of the preparation I received grom great visits with Dr. Gross. I think the fact that she does many surgeries gave me great confidence in her abilities. I knew if there were complications during my surgery, she would be able to handle them. My surgery was a success, and I feel very blessed to have had Dr. Gross be my surgeon. I would and have recommended her to some of my friends that are in my same situation. I am grateful for the facilities at University of Utah and all of her team. They work so well together. Thank you, [NAME REMOVED]

    Dr. Gross is very professional and personable. She explains her diagnosis and recommendations with explanations that are understandable and intelligent and instills confidence that she knows what she is talking about. That makes me feel that I can trust her judgement. She lets you be involved in the decision of your treatment after explaining the pros and cons.
