“Dr. Gross was so understanding & let me talk. She explained options for medication, counseling, treatment plan thoroughly. She involved me in her suggestions. I felt a connection I guess would be the word with her as my doctor. I felt like I could be very open with her. She is also taking time to get to know me & check out my medications & physical conditions before changing my medication or giving me a diagnosis which I appreciate. I left the office in a good mood feeling I was getting the help I know I need. I’m looking forward to the next visit & seeing a counselor.”
