It was kind of hard getting my first appointment. Other than that this practice is great. Nice offices with new, super clean waiting rooms and exam rooms ( I mean all doctors offices are clean, but this was a step above). The front staff very friendly and helpful. I really liked Dr. Gross. He took the time to explain everything about my knee replacement and answered all my questions. He made me feel like he could spend as much time as I needed with him. It actually was about a 1/2 hour, but I felt very confident in the procedure and him as the doctor to do it.

I’m 49 with a severely arthritic hip and did not want a total hip replacement. Traveled from upstate NY to see Dr Gross for a hip resurfacing consult. The whole experience was exceptional. Staff was great and efficient. Dr Gross was as expected - authentic, unhurried and genuinely cared for getting me better. Resurfacing is a highly specialized surgery, if you’re a candidate, go see Dr Gross. He’s the best in the US.

Dr Thomas was Awesome ! Answered all questions and explained the procedure fully. He was also on time with my appointment I didnt have a long wait time ! Great job.. staff was also very pleasant

Dr Gross and his whole organization exceed all expectations. Professional, competent, caring and friendly experts. A truly excellent experience. I feel very fortunate to be helped by them.

Dr Gross was attentive & helpful in answering my questions & concerns. He was very thorough! Highly recommend!

Met with Dr Gross this week for the first time. He and the staff were fantastic. He was very honest with me and took the time to make sure that I fully understood my options and expected outcomes. Turns out that he doesnt feel I need this type of surgery at this time so he definitely isnt one of those surgeons that just wants to throw you on the operating table. Very honest down home atmosphere.

My experience with Dr Gross and his staff was nothing less than great. They treated me with so much true care and professionalism I was amazed with every part of my visit. Dr Gross was so easy to talk with. You could tell he knew exactly what to do and he did a procedure that gave me almost instant relief. As a 65 year old man I feel that I have found a Dr that makes you feel good about getting older as I can now count on a place to go if and or when needed. Thanks to everyone that makes that office so good.David Todd

I had Left hip resurfacing in May 10 as an outpatient at there surgery center and stayed at the provided motel they use overnight! A nurse comes that evening and checks you and in the morning Dr. Gross come and checks on you ! I couldn’t believe this and how well it went ! No physical therapy required, they provide you with in home exercises ! Used crutches for about 2 weeks and then carefully started walking on my own ! Never thought a surgery would go the easy ! And let me brag on the OP surgery center and all the nice and professional nurses as well as the Drs personal nurse ! I would definitely use and or recommend DR Gross as he is the best around !

Dr. Gross saved my life! I live in Asheville,NC and not one ortho would help me or help me find a Dr to help me. I had severe arthritis in my right hip. Dr.Gross looked at my xrays, looked at me and said You are hurting arent you? I said yes and he said lets get it fixed. My husband and I had gone to Atlanta and was turned away by two Drs. Went to NY and turned away by 3 Drs. I happened to talk to an ortho I knew but he didnt do resurfacing. He searched and got me in with Dr. Gross. I will never be able to thank him enough for all hes done for me. Hes even done the left hip for me. Everyone on his team are caring and will treat you right. Dont hesitate if you are in need to go to him. Hes 3hrs away from me but it is a short drive for excellent care.

I just finished my one year follow up. I cannot express in words how happy I am with the services provided by Midland Ortho and Dr. Gross. Although my initial surgery was delayed (due to COVID), the whole process was seamless from beginning to end. I am so grateful that I was able to find this practice before resorting to a total hip replacement. The staff and Dr. Gross are so knowledgeable and I never felt rushed. EXCELLENT practice and doctors!

Dr.Gross and everyone one in his practice are the best. Super efficient and professional staff. Dr. Gross resurfaced my hip and I am back to pain free, active LIFE

During my long career starting as a US Army Airborne officer and retiring as a Government Science Advisor/Physicist I enjoyed running, skiing, and horseback, until it all came to a rather abrupt stop a year and a half ago with onset of arthritis in the left hip.After extensive research, I discovered Dr. Thomas P. Gross who is the leading US surgeon in hip re-surfacing, and in my view, because of his pioneering work and successfully helping thousands of people, a National Treasure.The fact that I am 83 did not discourage him. After a very thorough analysis, he qualified me for outpatient surgery and a fast recovery protocol.The surgery went flawless, the initial recovery rapid with no complications, and though I may not choose to run my favorite Marine Corps Marathons (Ive done over 40 :) I am looking forward to running, riding my horse Raven, and black diamond skiing.Expertly done hip resurfacing makes that possible, and I only wonder why so many people limit their future activities by not seeking out the procedure as opposed to the standard hip replacement which is much more limiting.On the personal side, Dr. Gross is not only a great surgeon, but he and his staff are great people :).

Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr. Gross as the best surgeon to perform hip resurfacing operations. Before scheduling my surgery on September 19, 2020, I weighed three hip procedures to repair my hip; 1) stem cell treatments, 2) full hip replacement, 3) hip resurfacing. My goal was to have no physical restrictions after I was fully healed. Hip resurfacing was the only answer. Then, I started my research to find the best surgeon who performed hip resurfacing operations. I only found a few top surgeons in the US. I chose Dr. Gross because 1) experience - he performed over 6,000 hip resurfacing procedures, 2) convenience of location, 3) positive reviews, 4) information provided by his office. Cost was not a factor for me. I wanted the best surgeon to ensure the best result. It has been five months since my operation and well on my way to recovery. I am following Dr. Gross’ guidelines for recovery to a tee and confident that I will be able to return to high impact activity that I use to enjoy, like running, snow skiing, and racquetball. Again, I highly recommend Dr. Gross if you are looking for the best surgeon.

Highly skilled surgeon, outstanding patient care and follow up, Dr. Gross maybe one of the most capable Hip Surgeons in the world. His humble, honest and caring manner is further complimented by an excellent extremely efficient support staff.He completely fixed my diseased osteoarthritic hip. I am now pain free with excellent range of motion and strength able to resume a very active lifestyle without restrictions.If you want to get back to things you love doing, if you want the very best, see Dr. Gross. My only regret is that I didn’t visit Dr. Gross sooner.

From scheduling the initial appointment to checking out of the surgical consultation, each and every person was efficient, respectful, and kind. I waited a bit, but not excessively. Dr. Gross was informative AND encouraging. I appreciated his command of his specialty.Its a pretty scary thing to contemplate someone cutting into and sawing around in ones body. Its early yet, but I feel confident in his skill and care.UPDATE: The surgery is done, and recovery begins. As with the early office experience, surgery day went like clockwork. Dr. Gross, Lee Webb, and the whole staff combined to provide wonderful care.

I have had a number of interactions (including four previous arthroscopic surgeries) with general sports medicine and hip specialists during the last several years and I can say that there is a very clear difference when interacting with Dr. Gross. You will find that Dr. Gross knows this subject matter inside and out and this is not surprising given how many surgeries he has performed. It has been my experience that there is absolutely no conjecture with Dr. Gross. He is a very intelligent and knowledgeable surgeon who looks at the facts of each case and does not try to sell or differ you but rather tells you if his skill set will likely fix your issue.Anyone who has experienced significant pain as a result of their hip injury or condition knows how challenging and frustrating it can be to diagnose and appropriately treat hips as compared to other Orthopaedic injuries. While there is never a guarantee of an accurate diagnosis and treatment, seeing a specialized hip surgeon like Dr. Gross gives you the best opportunity to have a good outcome. I can relate to the logistical and financial concerns that out of state patients have but Dr. Gross is certainly worth traveling to see. It has been my experience that you can pay now or pay later when dealing with hips. I would gladly travel to see Dr. Gross again for treatment. Although I am still very early in my recovery process with left hip I still plan to have Dr. Gross address the right hip at a later date.

To be fair, I have not completed my process with Dr. Gross office, and he has not completed my surgery. This review is based on my initial or first meeting with him and his staff. I am impressed with the staff, and they are all very genuine and friendly. I was appreciative of the time and evaluation Dr. Gross spent with me. He was thorough and his evaluation complete, leaving no stone unturned. It is for this reason that I intend to follow through with the next step, which is a surgical procedure. I absolutely would recommend Dr. Gross and his staff. I would also share that more than two people who are professionals in the medical field said Dr. Gross is the very best in this field.....(one is an actual surgical nurse who worked with him in the OR for several years at Providence, but has since moved on). My surgical nurse friend said that Dr. Gross fixes botch jobs of other doctors, lol....but not funny at all. Yes.....I will be proceeding with Dr. Gross and his very competent staff.

Dr. Gross and Lee Webb are the best at their professions. Dr. Gross’s influence, leadership and expertise within the hip replacement and resurfacing field has allowed me to perform and enjoy athletic outdoor activities again. I highly recommend Dr Gross and his team to anyone looking into hip surgery.

I am a professional international athlete that suffered from hip pain for seven years as I did not want to do a complete hip replacement. After much research; consulting with my Dr friends in Stanford who looked into Dr Gross’s published data; reaching out to trial studies that referred me back to Dr Gross, and a friend who sells orthopedic prosthetic that spoke so highly of Dr Gross, the many recommendations made this team of professionals the right choice for me. I just went in for my annual review after my hip resurfacing procedure and I truly have my life back. No pain and back to my normal activities. Dr gross is very engaging and caring and very focused on task!

Dr. Gross is a very understanding surgeon that cares about his patients. He made me and my mother (the patient ) feel very comfortable. He has tons of experience and expect a full recovery for my mom. Thank you Dr. Gross

Dr. Gross and his team are top notch. He successfully performed a Birmingham Hip Replacement/hip resurfacing on my left hip in November of 2011. I could not be happier.I followed the strict and long recovery program and have a fantastic result to show for it. I have done all the strenuous running, cycling and exercising I had hoped to be able to do again.The staff is caring, competent and professional.As predicted by Dr. Gross, my right hip is beginning to hurt. I will again be under the care of Dr. Gross and his team. I have full confidence in them and would not consider going anywhere else.Do not trust this complex and critical procedure to any doctor or practice who has not done hundreds/thousands of these surgeries.

As a former collegiate athlete, I was very active into my mid 40’s. Gradually the osteoarthritis in both my hips prevented me from staying as active and eventually sidelined me from any physical activity at all. It got to the point where just getting up and making it through each day with minimal pain was an unattainable goal. I met with a local orthopedic surgeon who immediately recommended a full hip replacement. Prior to this appointment, I found some information about hip resurfacing and asked this surgeon if he provided this procedure. His exact words were, “only if someone requests it”. I knew, then, I needed a surgeon that specializes in this procedure. All my research led me to Dr. Thomas Gross. Although out of state, I felt it was worth the travel to get the best care. I have had both hips resurfaced, exactly six years apart, and could not have had a better experience. The regimented protocol, before, during and after the procedure removed any doubt as to whether I was in good hands. The staff, including Lee Webb and Nancy Smith, removed all the unnecessary stress in handling all the details. I would absolutely recommend contacting Dr. Gross if you are at all considering a hip procedure.

I had a friend who had hip resurfacing done by Dr. Gross over 10 years ago. So when I discovered the I had severe arthritis in my left hip I knew who I needed to call. I am so grateful to be able to walk again pain free just 7 weeks after the surgery. Every interaction I had with The staff of Midlands Orthopedic Was first class. I could not recommend their services more enthusiastically

Absolutely amazing experience. Dr Gross is the best and I’m very fortunate to have found him!! The staff at the Surgery center were equally amazing. Thank you all for everything. You are all true healers

I’ve been a patient for nine years after my left hip resurfacing. I’ve had a great experience at every visit—real patient care and world-class expertise. Dr. Gross isn’t just a follower; he’s a pioneer in his field and you’ll be hard pressed to find a better surgeon. I’m a lifetime fan of him and the entire team!

Dr. Gross, Lee and all of his office staff and surgical center staff are quintessentially professional AND genuinely nice. I was well cared for and am appreciative of their professionalism and kindness. My procedure went very well according to the surgeon and my “bad” pain is gone! Only some post-surgical stiffness and aches. I think I will be able to sleep without pain! Thank you to the whole team.Craig Stevens, MD

Dr. Gross and Lee Webb are the consummate professionals. Their skills and the advanced hip resurfacing procedure they are using, has given me a new lease on life. Because of their expertise, I’m now able to do karate, train with weights, walk, run, swim bike etc. with no pain. What a blessing it’s been to have this team care for me!

The staff at the clinic was very attentive and professional. Dr. Gross took his time to explain in thorough detail what my symptoms were and how to fix my problem. I never felt like he was rushing me. He gave me ample time to ask questions. He even suggested that if I have any questions in the future, I am welcome to make a return appointment to have any questions answered.

Dr. Thomas Gross is absolutely the best doctor that I have had in my lifetime- my family in Atlanta worked for a doctor whose mother-in-law & her daughter both had their hips resurfaced by Dr. Gross, my doctor in McCalla, Al had both his hips resurfaced by Dr. Gross, and there are countless others (more than 6000) in all. I had my left hip done by Dr. Gross over 4 years ago and now it is time for my right hip to be resurfaced. He takes time to explain the procedure, in detail, explaining the pros and cons of different procedures. He is such an excellent person that one could follow him as a mentor in life.

Thank you Dr Gross for fixing my hip. I am pleased but will need to be patient on the recovery. Happy Thanksgiving

I saw Dr. Gross yesterday for a consult on my right hip. I am a 60 year old, healthy and very active ex athlete. I arrived early after a three hour drive. There were several patients already at the clinic. I was greeted immediately and checked in. His staff brought me back and did x-rays right away. Then I was shown to an exam room. This was all BEFORE my scheduled appointment time. Dr. Gross came in, did an exam and we discussed my history, x-rays, and prognosis. I’m going to need the hip resurface procedure and Dr. Gross explained the entire process clearly and we made a plan.I am very impressed with Dr. Gross and his staff and facility. He is the top surgeon for this procedure and has 20+ years of experience. I look forward to getting my hip repaired by Dr. Gross in the near future.

I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.I consider him as one of the smartest men I know and he’s straight forward. He doesn’t pull any punches . 1 in a million for sure.

Dr. Gross and all the staff at his office and surgical center are all very nice, helpful and knowledgeable! Dr. Gross has done an excellent job on my left hip. I will definitely be going back to have him work on the right hip also. Fantastic physician, staff and overall experience.

I am an Atlanta physician. My wife suffers from a congenital hip condition and was recommended to have a total hip arthroplasty At the age of 16. Happily, her insurance company demanded a second opinion and that doctor told her not to return until she couldnt walk. She lived a very active life there after, mountain biking, snowboarding and playing womens flat track roller derby. Ultimately however degenerative osteoarthritis caught up to her, she was bone on bone and in substantial pain. She was under the care of a pain medicine specialist, on Neurontin and narcotics. By 2011, her level of function had diminished to the point where she was willing to consider a total hip arthroplasty. I work at one of the best hospitals in Atlanta, and we saw a number of respected orthopedic surgeons, who all recommended a total hip arthroplasty, along with the postoperative limitations that would entail. My wife could not imagine the change in life that a relatively sedentary lifestyle would lead to. Because she is small, a number of orthopedic surgeons told her that she would likely only be able to have one total hip arthroplasty in her lifetime. With hips lasting between 15 and 20 years if you take care of them, we had difficulty understanding where that would leave us at the age of 60. We began to seek out other options and found the concept of hip resurfacing. This would allow her to maintain her lifestyle, and could be revised to a total hip should the need arise in the future. This seems like the right fit for us, and the only question was where and when could we have the surgery performed. We looked at the hospital for special surgery in New York city, a practitioner in Chicago and another in LA, we looked into medical tourism in India, and visiting my homeland in Brisbane to see a physician performing resurfacing there. The logistics of international travel, or traveling back from other cities by plane after surgery seemed daunting and thats when I found Dr Gross. At that point, Dr Gross had performed over 2000 hip resurfacing procedures, and had begun performing the uncemented procedure. He kept detailed electronic records of outcomes and was able to show us the live implant failure rate over the entire span of his career on the office PC. He was kind, patient, and promised me my wife back. He delivered. He is an excellent, caring, and competent physician. He is highly experienced, has a procedure that he does not deviate from, and this is probably the reason why some people might complain about the office. My wife decided to move forward with Dr Gross, and found that there was a five month wait. She burst into tears in the office; and the office manager took us aside and said she would put us on a list for cancellations. We promised to drive in from Atlanta on a moments notice whenever a cancellation occurred. My wife had her resurfacing procedure on 12/30/2011. The picture below is her, seven years postoperatively at the top of Whistlers Blackcomb mountain, one of her favorite places. She is pain-free, and is able to roller skate, ride bikes, bowl skate and snowboard. Dr Gross gave me my wife back. She is pain-free, and off all pain medicine. She has no activity restrictions and lives life without a thought of the pain she was previously in. Dr Grosss protocol and surgical skill are obviously becoming internationally renowned. He is a fantastic doctor, and if you are looking at getting a hip resurfacing I can think of no better place to go. Several years after my wife had her hip resurfacing, my mother-in-law needed a total hip arthroplasty, and was able to have a hip resurfacing with Dr Gross. It similarly went flawlessly. He has my highest recommendation. Look nowhere else.

I heard many positive things about Dr. Gross and his staff from other patients who are friends of mine. Dr. Gross was extremely professional. He explained my surgical options in detail and answered all of my questions. His nurse Nancy and staff were great as well. Dr. Gross is extremely knowledgeable about hip surgery and in particular resurfacing. Anyone who needs that procedure should consider Dr. Gross.

Dr. Gross and his staff are superior in every way! My experiences with him, Lee, and Nancy have been stellar, and I would recommend Dr. Gross as a surgeon and physician to my family, friends, and anyone in need of orthopedic surgery and treatment.

THE ENTIRE OFFICE WAS ORGANIZED IN REGARDS TO SOCIAL DISTANCING AND COVID PRECAUTIONS. THE STAFF WAS EFFICIENTAND COURTEOUS. DR.GROSS AND HIS NURSE NANCY WERE KIND, PROFESSIONAL AND CARING. OVERALL COMFORTING EXPERIENCE.

Dr. Gross is to the point and concise. The frills one receives by putting faith in him and his staff are doing the job exceptionally well with no unexpected consequences.

This surgeon is one of only a handful that do hip resurfacing rather than the total hip replacement usually offered by orthopedic surgeons. This review is not about the pros and cons of hip replacement vs hip resurfacing rather its about this doctor and his practice. The whole experience was brilliant. The entire team were kind, patient and knew what they were doing. The surgical center was great, his nurse practitioner was excellent and the followup care was beyond reproach. Very much worth a look if this procedure is for you.

Dr. Gross was willing to listen to my concerns as a patient. He was very thorough in his examination and was willing to help diagnose the problem and find treatment through referrals and/or further examination. I truly appreciate his care as a physician!

It has been years for my hip resurfing and no problem! Great experience!

I made a great decision going to South Carolina and having Dr Gross perform my hip resurfacing surgeryThe whole staff was very helpful through the whole process. I would highly recommend Dr. Gross

I have had excruciating hip pain since March of this year and finally decided to do something about it once the Covid lockdown passed. After reading many wonderful reviews about Dr. Gross and the numerous positive testimonials, I scheduled my first visit. The process was timely and the staff were friendly and efficient. All of my questions and concerns were thoroughly addressed in an understandable way. Because some prior conservative treatments were unsuccessful, I was scheduled for surgery in the very near future. I already know what the surgery will cost and understand pre and post op activities. I really appreciate being treated like a valued patient and not like a faceless human in a cue line. I look forward to providing a post operative review of my hip resurfacing procedure.

Very professional and pleasant experience. The staff and Dr. Gross treated me with respect and extreme care.

Dr. Gross was very dedicated to finding answers to my concern. I greatly appreciated the time he took with me, his honesty, and desire to truly help me. Im extremely picky when it comes to physicians but Dr. Gross earned my trust almost immediately. Im glad I was referred to him.

Dr. Gross spent so much time with me talking about issues with my hip and knee and laid out great options for going forward with treatment. Such a great doctor!

Had a great experience all round. Always a daunting experience to have surgery and Dr Gross and his team made it a calming experience even during COVID-19. The pre-op was great and the drug protocols prepared me for the surgical procedures. I’ve had stomach issues in the past as a result of surgery and protonix was given to a avoid this which avoided my usual issues. I was prepped and went into the theatre and was under anesthesia before I realized. I woke up in recovery and the nursing staff were there when I needed something. Post surgery I didn’t experience any pain. I had some mild muscle discomfort but that was it. I was on crutches for a week and a walking stick for another week. I took it easy for the remainder of the six weeks as advised. Just had my six week follow up and I’m walking normally without a limp. Starting on the phase II exercises now and it’s all going well and I’m getting my flexibility back and starting to be able to go up stairs normally. If you’re thinking about a total hip replacement then “don’t” do anything until you explore resurfacing. I would challenge any advice by THR surgeons and reach out to Dr Gross who has years of data to back up why resurfacing is a better option if you’re the right candidate

Im very fortunate to have heard about Dr. Gross and his expertise in hip resurfacing (in lieu of hip replacement). Significantly less invasive and I can t return to doing literally any physical activity I choose! Do your own research to see how his methods (and experience ) stack up against other !

Dr. T. Gross and the entire staff of Midlands Orthopaedics are very professional and sensitive to the needs of their patients. I highly recommend them!

Dr Gross is awesome. He took the time to explain exactly what was going on with my hip and what needed to be done to fix the problem in terms I could understand.

Excellent staff and surgeon. Highly, highly recommend Dr Gross.I just had my left hip resurfaced. Home recovering well.

Dr Gross was very informative and detailed concerning my hip, and the options available to correct my condition. He was very thorough in providing patient education, including a demonstration of each procedure with models, as well as typical outcomes.

Dr. Gross took all the time I wanted to answer all my questions. He was not in any hurry and was truly there for me.

Dr Gross and his staff are the greatest. He resurfaced my right hip in 2008.

Extremely pleased with this facility and Dr Thomas Gross. I highly recommend Dr Gross

Dr. Gross and staff are very professional and attentive to detail.

Highly recommend Dr. Gross for hip resurfacing. He and the entire staff are very compassionate and professional.

Dr. Gross and staff are very professional and very skilled. I had a hip resurfacing result that was way beyond my dreams. Walking unassisted 18 hours later. Yes, I was walking on my two legs with no crutches the very next day. 8 months later, I can do ANYTHING. Run, cycle, hike, yardwork, deep squats. Thank you Dr. Gross. I dont belive this man cares about money at all. He is a healer.

Dr Gross is one of the best surgeons in the country I had bilateral hip replacement in November of 2015 and 100% pain free and recovery was a breeze and who cares about the price when you have the best. Yes I had to wait 5 months but who wants a doctor thats available the same or next day not me.
