Dr Ross, both you and your staff have always treated both me and my husband with kind and compassionate attention. I've always felt comfortable
coming to your office and never felt that I was bothering you. You have listened patiently to my complaints and have been able to remedy the situation
or refer me to a specialist that could help. When my late husband was nearing the… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
As a private doctor, I am also able to make house calls for my home-bound patients and be available during hospitalizations. I still admit and care for my patients at McLeod Regional Medical Center and the Carolinas Hospital System. This is rare in today's healthcare environment and what makes my practice so unique.
As a primary care physician, my goal is to prevent disease through wellness care and to manage complex chronic health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, liver disease and lung disease when they are present. I strive for all of my patients to enjoy healthy and happy lives. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.
In addition to being board certified in internal medicine, I am a certified hypertension specialist and enjoy the challenges of treating complex and resistant cases of hypertension (high blood pressure). I have taken special training in adult echocardiography and have been certified by the American Society of Echocardiography as a testamur in echocardiography. This knowledge also helps me to better manage complicated cases of cardiovascular disease.
As a lifelong student, I have placed an emphasis on medical treatment based on current science and clinical trials and continue to study and read medical literature to stay abreast of current medical knowledge. I was valedictorian at the Medical University of South Carolina and went on to complete internal medicine training at the University of Virginia School of Medicine.

I was going through a surgical removal of drains and the surgeon's office did not offer anything to help me stay calm. After calling Dr. Ross, he prescribed four pills to help me stay calm. He knows his patients and listens to their requests. This made a difference for me even just as a crutch. Thanks be to God for a Doctor like Dr. Ross who has known our family and helped us for many… See more
Steve Ross was not my parents’ doctor. He had patients in the nursing home where they were patients also. I would often visit them in the late evening and he would be there caring for his patients. I would think: ‘if I ever get the opportunity, he will be my doctor.’ Shortly afterward. He opened his MDVIP practice and I’ve been with him ever since. His concern for the patients in that nursing… See more
Dr. Steven Ross is The Best of The Best, a gentleman and a Servant of The Lord. He is always compassionate. I have found that he always listens to any concerns I may have or any questions to which I need answers. I always feel comfortable when I see him. When I had a period of depression, he listened and told me what he thought was best for me and it worked. I have never had anyone who was so… See more
At the age of 73, with a very active life, I began to experience some lower back, and hip pains. This had been a concern for several weeks. I visited Dr. Steven Ross to share my concerns. After a very quick review in his office, with no wait, he suggested inhouse X rays to see what is going on with my back and hips. I was assured after the visit that my hips were fine, and back pain was normal… See more
I feel like he is always there for me. And he is.
Dr Stephen Ross has a heart for his patients.
He always has the patients best interest when talking and instructing them. He is there when you need him.
I remember one night with kidney stone pain. My husband called him early the next morning. He actually stopped by our house to check on me. That had not happened since I was a child, when doctors did that frequently.

I appreciate and love my MDVIP Doctor, Steve Ross. He has provided me compassionate, excellent health care since 1984. I am Blessed to have him
available 24/7 to take care of my health issues. Thank you, Dr. Ross!
Steve Ross has always been available to me, regardless of time. This is most appreciated and due to his availability I try not to take advantage of his time. I have been thru some trying times recently and knowing that he is following this is most reassuring. His care and punctuality are most appreciated and I would highly recommend him and his practice.
