David Gross's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Gross is an exceptional doctor who takes time to learn about his patients and their lives to best tailor fit a treatment plan for them. I feel as though he genuinely cares about and shows interest in things going on in my life when we have sessions. Absolutely would recommend him to anyone searching for a new psychiatrist.

Compassionate, very knowledgable, and also flexible. Works with me on my resistance to taking medications. Very patient. My OCD, I'm sure can make working with me frustrating at times but he clearly understands the plight that is my condition and takes his time with me. Finds relatable examples and analogies to help communicate.

Doctor Gross is awesome, personable and very easy talk to

I've been seeing Dr. Gross for over 20 years and I credit him with saving my life. It took a long time to find the right medications for me. He was patient with me as I dealt with various side effects.

Dr. Gross is, by far, one the most competent and empathetic psychiatrists I've seen in a long time. I am extremely surprised to see a couple of negative reviews, so I feel like I need to inform people reading the posts of my experience. 1. Contrary to another reviewer's opinion, Dr. Gross does not give patients "whatever they ask for." He does not put a band-aid on the illness, but rather attempts to find the underlying cause and treats accordingly. He is careful and thorough with his examinations and, with patient input prescribes what he feels would be most beneficial. He does not limit his care by taking certain medications off of the table, but also will not just prescribe a medication because a patient requests it. Certain doctors do not prescribe controlled substances at all. Dr. Gross does prescribe them if he feels they will be effective and is not careless when doing so. 2. The same reviewer I mentioned above commented that the charge of $150 is ridiculous and that Dr. Gross is money hungry. Because of the level of care I feel that I am getting an awesome deal at less than $200 a month. Dr. Gross does not accept insurance, so it only makes sense that the visits cost what they do. He is not "money hungry." In fact he is the opposite. During my very first appointment he told me that once the medications started working and I was stable he would would schedule the appointments every two to three months instead of once a month. He understands that it can be difficult pay for monthly appointments and will still continue to refill the medications at no cost between appointments 3. In my opinion the receptionists are awesome. They have always been helpful and are flexible with appointment times. I have not had any bad experiences with them at all. 4. Because I have an issue with being assertive and articulating exactly how I feel, he was more than happy to let my girlfriend sit in on the appointment. I was very grateful for this and she appreciated the invitation I would absolutely recommend Dr. Gross to anyone who has been unsuccessful in their treatment with other providers, as I have. He caught things that I had overlooked for years and I am lucky to have found him. He speaks to you as an equal and very willing to put in the work to help in any way he can

I’ve been seen by Dr Gross for over 20 years. We have gotten through all the highs and lows very successfully.

Dr. Gross is a wonderful psychiatrist, and the office staff has always been extremely helpful and friendly. They understand if you have to cancel a few hours before due to accidents/ unforeseen circumstances, etc. I drive for an hour- at the least- for my appointments here, and it is always worth it. I've never been asked to pay for missed appointments despite having several over the years. Dr. Gross himself is very empathetic and such a good listener. He does not prescribe "whatever you want"...he uses his judgement and the patient's experiences to determine what is appropriate, if anything. He gives useful advice and makes suggestions that you wouldn't normally think of. Someone made the assertion that he goes along with whatever you tell him (like self-diagnoses)...well of course he believes what his patients tell him! How ridiculous and useless would it be for a doctor in the mental health field to assume the patient lies?! All mental health professionals have to use their own judgement as well as the patient's claims in order to figure out what that patient may be experiencing. If you lie to your mental health doctor, you're sabotaging yourself, and you cannot assume that your doctor can read your mind. I'd recommend taking along someone who can provide another viewpoint to the doctor, if one suspects that they're not seeing the problem clearly themselves. I regularly do. I'm glad I found Dr. Gross, and have never regretted switching to him, despite the distance.

I think $175 was a lot to pay for 10-15 minutes of time, especially since that isn’t really therapy, but prescribing of medicine. I definitely detected some arrogance, which at times I could deal with, but other times I felt intimidated. I think he is a knowledgeable, decent, and probably very wealthy man.

Dr. G has excellent credentials, however he is somewhat dismissive and minimized my daughter's panic attacks. This completely turned her off and she refuses to go back to him. His fees are extremely high and he does not take our (excellent) insurance plan. By far the highest cost psychiatrist we have ever seen in this area! He ignored our input and much of her history and put her on a drug that caused more harm than good. Needs to really listen to his patients & improve his communication skills.

Dr. Gross is a wonderful psychiatrist. He has a very calm and welcoming personality. He is able to address my psychological needs and issues with professionalism and knowledge. He is also very good about responding to an immediate need. I highly recommend Dr. Gross and trust him completely!
