When asked why he chose to specialize in cardiology he responded "I was really fortunate to have an incredible mentor during my fellowship. He allowed me to be hands on and as involved as possible for the care of his cardiology patients. Over time it felt like a natural fit". During his time here at Dayton Children's Dr. Ross has developed a special interest in caring for his patients beyond the walls of the hospital. Dr. Ross and his wife volunteer each year at a summer camp for kids with serious illnesses, including heart disease. He enjoys having camp as another topic of conversation when his patients visit him in clinic. One of his favorite things about working with children is seeing them grow into successful and healthy adults. Outside of the hospital, Dr. Ross enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and three grown children. He also enjoys getting outside and running when he can!

He was very compassionate and kind and caring and he took the time to listen to my son's concerns and explain everything and that's important in this day and age and being an attentive listener and taking that valuable time, that extra time with my with my son, his patients.
Everyone was very nice listened to our concerns. Doctor was great my kids loved him.
Dr. Ross is a very thorough doctor. He sat and listened to our concerns and talk to us about what is going on with. My daughter and I left. very reassured, knowing things were being looked at and monitored and we were headed in the right direction.
Only saw for one visit, but seemed like a very good doctor. Overall great experience.
