Joseph W. Gross

Dr. Gross is the kindest, most patient physician that I’ve ever had and right now he is one of the many physicians that are getting me through a diverticulitis abscess and it’s no joke! He is always responsive to my messages and makes time to see me at the Medical Daycare at Beverly Hospital, if something comes up or changes with antibiotics or test results.

Dr. Gross was a bit cold and could definitely work on improving his compassion towards his patients. However, this typically wouldn't necessarily be a dealbreaker for me as my main focus is on getting a proper diagnosis and a positive health outcome. What actually bothered me the most was that i found him to be unhelpful and was disappointed by his failure to provide me potential scientific/medical explanations as to why my symptoms were occurring. He also mentioned that what i am currently experiencing COULD be potentially out of his expertise but did not care to provide me any suggestions as to which potential field of specialists i could potentially see. Furthermore, the appointment mostly consisted of me self-reporting my symptoms 99% of the time (winging it as i go), with minimal follow up/further inquiry by Dr. Gross which i found to be a bit odd and slightly irresponsible.

Dr Gross seems kind, caring and knowledgeable. He graduated from Northwestern Medical School and did his residency at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington DC. His post residency fellowship in Infectious disease, also at George Washington, included study at NIH with Dr Fauci. He knew my medical history before I met him. He prescribed medicine that worked.

I have found Dr. Gross past-extraordinary in the way he takes as much time as needed to answer questions, even from someone like me, who always has many more questions after my 'last' one has been answered. His explanations are as complex as I am able to absorb; he ALWAYS calls back, and his manner is pleasant, reassuring and professional. I feel myself fortunate to find myself in such expert hands.
