I have not visited Dr. Gross' office about 10 years; I came to see him for eye infection caused by a cold and dry eye. He is just as friendly, warm, knowledgeable and professional as before. I highly recommended him.
April 10, 2013G M.Verified patient
Excellent experience. We were on vacation when my husband injured his eye. We got an appointment the next day through ZocDoc and Dr. Gross and his staff were very professional and thoroughly examined my husband's eye. We would recommend Dr. Gross and the ZocDoc service to anyone.
