Paul Ross, DPM

I could not be happier with Dr Ross and his entire staff in Springfield. I originally went to see him late fall of 2011 with severe foot pain. I was very concerned as I am very active and athletic. After a thorough exam, x-​rays and a discussion about all of my options I chose a surgical repair. I could not be happier with that decision. I really thought my athletic life was over. The surgery was in January 2012 and by the end of March 2012 I was back to 100% of my acitivy level with zero pain. I trusted Dr Ross and it was the best decision I ever made. I enjoy interacting with his staff who are beyond nice, very professional and knowledgeable. I trust Dr Ross so much that I not only have recommended him to friends (who are now under his care) but I had my other foot repaired as well just this past month. His knowledge, professionalism, skill and bedside manner are all above any other medical professional I have ever encountered. My quality of life has been so positively impacted on not one but two occassions by the work of Dr. Ross. I would not have entrusted my livelyhood to him twice if I thought otherwise!

Told me I had a stress fracture, didn’t even take x-​rays. Put me in a hard boot for 20 weeks. I told him I was not getting any relief, he fit me for orthodics, it turns out that they were totally wrong for my foot. He talks a great game.

I completed a review for Dr. Ross for his Bethesda location. Dr. Ross is a kind, HANDSOME, charming man. I had a VERY bad experience as a surgical patient and had to have a revision surgery by another doctor. Outcome still uncertain. Dr. Ross was not completely honest with me when I contacted him about my post-​op problems. I was misled and misinformed. He has many gifts obviously, based on the positive Unilocal comments; just do not be lulled by his manner. All that glisters is not always gold. wasn’t in my case.

Aaaaaah! I just found the COOLEST doctor ever!
Picture it: I am sitting in this lifted chair with toe nail polish missing off of my right big toe in a sterile looking office. A knock at the door and then enters a man who appers around 50, graying hair, glasses, bright blue eyes, hanes white t-​shirt, jeans, and loafers. I was wondering who on earth this guy was, and while he was speaking, I realized it was the doctor!
He was so gentle and kind; it was a wonderful experience. He explained how my running was causing my toenail to stop growing and how to help things along. He also looked at my bunions and worked out a future plan to help those as well.
I will never go to another podiatrist again. Ever.

I consulted two podiatrists prior to seeing Dr Ross, one who performed bunion surgery without realizing that I had neuromas and hammertoes on the same foot which were contributing to my pain. After two surgeries (first bunion then neuromas on one foot) with that one, I looked elsewhere for someone more competent. Dr. Ross was left in the position of cleaning up the mess. He referred me to post-​op PT (something Dr #1 should have done but didn’t) for my left foot and scheduled me for bunion surgery for my right foot – plus removed two hammertoes. I’m still in the recovery stages but so far everything seems to be going well. He’ll be injecting alcohol in the remaining neuromas in the hopes of killing them without more surgery, since recovery hasn’t been easy.
I found him to be very knowledgeable and willing to impart that knowledge towards patient education. The fact that he has a diplomate designation by an accrediting body doesn’t hurt and distinguishes him from those who don’t.
Dr Ross’ staff is wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable, and that makes a difference when you’re frustrated or in pain.

I had to see a foot doctor cause my big toe got infected. Dr. Ross was fantastic. He explained to me exactly why it was infected and then performed minor surgery that was so painless. He then gave me a kit for the foot. It has healed up well. If you need a great food doctor, go see Dr. Ross. His staff is also great. He takes United Heath Care insurance.
