Andrew J. Ross, MD, FACOG
Dr. Andrew Ross is a native of New York City who has moved steadily west and is never going back. His undergraduate education was at the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Biological Anthropology. After a brief career in sports marketing, he returned to school at the Hunter College of the City University of New York to complete a post-baccalaureate pre-med program, and completed medical school at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx. He completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia in 2000, and has lived in Denver, practicing with this group ever since.
Dr. Ross has been at the forefront of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, doing laparoscopic hysterectomies since the 1990's. He is the first and only gynecologist in the state of Colorado to have done a Single Incision Laparoscopic hysterectomy, and is skilled with the DaVinci Robotic surgical platform, currently proctoring all new DaVinci gynecologic surgeons at Swedish Medical Center, as well as other hospitals locally and nationally. His professional surgical goal is to never do an abdominal hysterectomy. These same surgical abilities translate to obstetrics skills with forceps which are rarely found these days, contributing to a low C-section rate. Despite these manual skills, Dr. Ross is most proud of his abilities to communicate with his patients in a way that allows them to feel that their desires and concerns are an integral part of their treatment plans.
Personally, Dr. Ross enjoys all of the outdoor activities Colorado offers. He is an avid mountain and road cyclist, and enjoys snowboarding when the opportunity arises. He enjoys cooking for his wife and toddler son, particularly with vegetables he grows in his own garden. Dr. Ross is involved on the boards of local organizations committed to advancing the art and science of medicine, and access to reproductive healthcare.
