Dr. Gross carries a rare sense of calm energy. So grateful to have been guided her way! If you need urology care U of U is the place!
Dr. Gross is an amazing surgeon. In choosing her for performing HOLEP prostate surgery, I searched extensively for a doctor with excellent qualifications. She was the best that I could find. In addition to her professional qualifications, I found that patient opinions of her were all excellent. She has a very positive and friendly personality. Most importantly, after over three months since the surgery, the results are excellent.
Dr. Gross is an exceptionally intelligent and talented physician. She is gifted in communicating and especially in listening to questions or concerns. I trust her completely.
I was very dissatisfied with my previous Urologist. Finding Kelli was a blessing. I will definitely recommend her to others!
Dr. Gross and her staff always try the make the process from the first contact with the patient until the patient has healed. I had the HoLep surgery because of her long history of performing this procedure. I had virtually no pain throughout the surgery and post surgery. Her staff is excellent and do a great job in communicating and responding to questions that I had. The HoLep procedure was very successful for me.
The doctor was ready for me at the appointment time and delivered all the information that I needed to know without rushing through the process.
Very professional, Well done.
Very professional.
Dr. Gross was very upbeat and answered questions that I could understand perfectly.
Seemed to be a very positive professional. Answered questions thoughtfully.
A true professional [TRANSLATED]
Amazing Dr!
Top of the line!
She has knowledge and training in all levels.
She was really great ! Super personable and professional!!!
Extremely competent surgeon. I did some research on Dr. Gross and found her to be well respected in performing the HoLep procedure. She has built a great staff and surgical team. She performed the HoLep procedure on me and I am very satisfied.
Dr Gross was fully engaged in conversation with me about my care, not hunched over a computer like most doctors. She spoke clearly, listened to me and answered all my questions. I did not feel rushed. Her entire team was great.
Knowledge, thorough, and experienced! Exactly what I was hoping for.
I felt confident that my concerns were addressed with compassion and skill. So grateful Dr. Gross is here.
I highly recommend Dr Gross if you are considering getting a penile implant. She helped me prepare for the surgery, did an excellent job in placing all of the components in just the right places. The after surgery and follow up care were likewise very good. She listens and carefully explained everything and has been quick to follow up with my questions. When I had problems, she was able to reassure me.
I can't imagine any physician who could hold a candle to Kelli Gross. She sets a high bar for any doctor to follow.
Dr. Gross and Yosh are awesome. Would recommend to anyone.
Dr. Gross has factored into the surgery scheduling my wife and I's age and the 4 1/2 hour travel time from St. George. This makes the surgery process much easier on us.
She made me very comfortable
Very thorough and said they would follow up in three weeks on the progress very good service
Dr. Gross is a first-rate provider and has a team to match. Thank you!
Dr. Gross has helped me when others said nothing could be done for me. She is always looking for options for me to try, even if the options are unconventional with mixed results. She is honest in her assessments, but willing to allow me to try any option, even those options have no guarantee of giving me my desired results.
Great experience with Dr. Gross. She's very caring and knowledgeable.
I've never experienced such a caring and genuine doctor. She 100% cares that I feel better and understand any treatments and concerns. Intelligent and truly cares is how I would describe her.
Dr Gross is skilled, confident, and able to explain in understandable terms. My surgery under her hands was the first time I had any surgery or treatment with an all-female medical team, and I was very calm and confident in her capable hands. I was not disappointed.
Very impressed with the knowledge and understanding of a patient and taking to time to go over things
She is a fantastic Doctor and Surgeon. And she cares about her patients.
Very nice and concerned explained the surgery in a easy to understand way
Dr. Gross is simply the best at her profession. There needs to be an 'excellent' rating because 'very good' does not do her justice.
This entire team is exceptional.
Dr. Gross is a very knowledgeable and helpful person. I feel like I'm in very good hands with Dr. Gross.
Dr. Gross was great personable, professional, listened to my concerns. Very skilled, great results.
Doctor Kelli Gross was very friendly and professional. I was very fortunate to have her as my doctor for my surgery. Thank you so much

She's calm, confident and caring
Dr. Kelli Gross is an expert in her field. I would highly recommend her.
Dr. Gross has helped me get through a difficult year. She is an example of everything University of Utah Health should strive to be.
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]
She is a wonderful Doctor, very caring.
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.
Dr. Gross is an exceptional physician who goes above and beyond for out-of-state patients like me. Her attentive listening and thorough care make the distance worthwhile. I highly recommend her.
Dr gross is a great doctor but I think she needs to spend more time. With her assistants so they handle calling people about results and listen to what's being translated to her patients
