I've used Dr. Ross as my gyn since 2006. She's always been easy to talk to and makes sure you don't have any questions or issues. The staff at her office has been efficient and professional. So high marks all around. She is part of the Crescent City Physicians group. Worst part about going? Getting weighed. Seriously. I just don't want to know. read more

Janet M Ross, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Welp, Yelp, this ain't so fun to review. But I know it will help a chica out. I give Dr. Ross 5 stars for the easiest and most comfortable exam I've had, pretty much ever, including my favorite GYN, who was one of the best in New York. The question portion of the exam was also the least invasive I've ever had, which is nice, because I prefer to check that stuff off on a form than give verbal answers (ie, "how many drinks do you have per week?" Who is that going to help, really?) Got my pap done in two seconds and then there's that typically awful part of the exam where it looks like an alien is running around in your abdomen, but Dr. Ross made it comfortable enough and damn quick. Nice, right? She is also overall extremely easy to talk to, as mentioned in other reviews. It was also wonderful not to have to wait two months for an annual exam (actually, they had an opening for two weeks away from my call!) The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the whole waiting 45 minutes to be seen by the doctor. I just cannot deal with any waste of my time. There has to be a way for this to improve. At least have magazine options that aren't all about parenting in the waiting and exam rooms. read more

Dr. Ross was my OB for the birth of my first child and she was fabulous. Nothing about my birth went according to plan, but she was able to help guide me and make the appropriate medical decision for me and my baby. Her hands on approach and technique meant that I didn't tear at all during my vaginal delivery. She is easy to talk to and very enthusiastic about all of her patients. It was important for me to know that she was in direct contact with my nurses during my hospitalization and checked in often. If I have any more babies it will be with Dr. Ross! read more

After hearing incredible things about Dr. Ross, I called for an appointment. As a patient with a complicated history, I was thrilled to hear of her excellent bedside manner. Unfortunately, my experience with her was beyond a complete disappointment. Not only did her staff schedule me for the wrong procedure, but Dr. Ross placed the blame on me, suggesting that I didn't make my appointment correctly. (Not sure how you can call after a trip to the ER to schedule a follow up incorrectly, but apparently I'm an idiot.) I filled her in on some personal history, expressing a concern for my health and inquiring about certain concerns, and she made a complete mockery of me during the appointment. In fact, she prescribed me birth control when I asked her not to. I let her know that I felt hesitant, and she mocked my intelligence regarding my own medical history. I was humiliated to sit in the office of a physician that I wanted a good relationship with and feel judged. She has the attitude of an "I'm smarter than you" sorority girl and made me feel ashamed of my desire to have a family as a 25 year old woman (I'm sorry, is that too young to ask about this?). I will never go see this woman again. I called Touro to file a complaint but it was to no avail. Words cannot describe my disappointment. Humiliating and degrading woman. I suppose that after the awkward encounter, I was a fool to expect an apology phone call. read more

Believe it or not, my ex-boyfriend referred me to Dr Janet Ross. Well, I guess it's not that hard to believe... they both have an interest in my vagina. It takes a while to get your first appointment with her... I had to schedule it three or four months in advance. But it is well worth the wait! She's cool about answering all kinds of questions. (Even ones that would make my grandmother blush) I think she's the perfect mix of professional and casual. Plus, she's pretty hot. Her staff is awesome. They're very patient and helped me figure out the cheapest way to bill things when I was between health insurance providers. I went in for my annual and received the results in the mail the following Monday. I'm such a nerd. I hung it on the fridge like a report card. read more

While in college I had the best gyno in my medical history, unfortunately I couldn't continue seeing her after I graduated. I left New Orleans, and returned last year and thought what am I going to do, who am I going to see for my annual visits. I tried Crescent City Physicians and had a very pleasant young lady who was a rookie to the field and she wasn't able to give me the answers I needed when I needed them. After continuous searching, GOD blessed me with Dr. Janet Ross. She is by far the best ob/gyn I've been to in this city. All questions are answered and issues resolved, she knows her craft and is apart of fews doctors left with good bedside manner. And in a few short months she will be delivering my baby and I couldn't be happier. read more

I chose Dr. Ross after doing some research with my friends and hearing she was one of the best at CCPI. I was hesitant with a new doctor, but I am so glad I decided to go to her. She is very honest and upfront. She won't sugarcoat or fluff things or tell you just what you want to hear, which is what people should want in a physician. When I got pregnant, she was instantly helpful in guiding me on how to prepare. My husband didn't think she was "fluffy" enough -- but I felt comfortable, safe and knew that she would take care of me. During my delivery, she was spectacular. She took charge instantly and everyone in the room respected her and I felt at ease throughout the entire process. She is one doctor that will jump in and help the nurses and she was part of the team as well, not just the leader. I love her!!! We delivered a beautiful baby girl a few days ago and we couldn't be happier with her care. I would highly recommend her !! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Ross since 2004, minus a couple of post-Katrina years. I've had both routine care and an obstetric problem. She has always been efficient, knowledgeable, compassionate and not overly invasive. Her exams are quick and as comfortable as it gets. She has standing orders at Touro Imaging Center for routine mammograms, and that makes it easy to do on your own time. If you need lab work, Quest is just upstairs in the same building. Those things save time. When I had a miscarriage, both the office staff and the outpatient surgery center staff in her building provided excellent care. I appreciate that she listens to my opinions and preferences. As other reviewers noted, the biggest negative is the wait time, both to get appointments and on your appointment date. I don't think I have ever waited less than 45 minutes in the exam room. The staff does not keep you updated, which would make it more bearable. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Ross as a gynecologist for two years and then as an obstetrician when I got pregnant. I am tremendously happy with my experience as her patient. Dr. Ross is a great doctor for patients who are inquisitive or a perhaps bit anxious. She exudes great warmth, takes time to explain things thoroughly, and is very reassuring. One thing I especially value about her is that if she senses I have a question that I delay asking because I can't quite formulate it in my head, she pauses to give me time to get it just right so she can address it before I leave -- she seems like she really doesn't want her patients walking away with any lingering uncertainties. I have not once felt like I was rushed out of the office because other patients were waiting. Dr. Ross delivered my baby recently and I felt very well taken care of the labor and delivery team with her at the helm. Like the other reviewers said, she directed the nurses well but also acted as very much part of the team. When my labor stalled, she was very creative and helpful in figuring out ways to help me push more effectively. One drawback is that her office gets quite busy, especially toward the end of the day, and I often have to wait 40-60 minutes to see her (overall, I have learned to allot almost 2 hours from the time I arrive to the time I leave). Still, I actually don't mind this wait too much because I know that delay must be due to her being just as patient and thorough with all her other patients as she is with me. read more

If you want the very best, Dr. Janet Ross is your doctor for gyno and/or obstetrics. She has been my doctor for almost 13 years. She removed a tumor from my ovary and performed a c-section on me. Both were beautiful and flawless. She sees you as a person and human first. She and her nurses are incredibly warm and transparent. While, once in a blue moon, you might might get your appointment pushed back - that is because if you are the once in labor across the street - she is not going to send anyone in her place - you can count on her being there for you and baby! read more

My wife recently had our baby and Dr. Ross was her OB. First, her office was very easy to deal with. We scheduled the same time for every appointment on the same day every month/week, which helped a lot with work. Wait times were consistently under 10-15 minutes. The office is clean and the staff is friendly. When we changed insurance companies the lady in charge of billing sat us down and explained all of the changes as it related to their billings so we would know what to expect. From the beginning of my wife's pregnancy, Dr. Ross was extremely relaxed and put my wife at ease. If a potential problem arose, she explained the issue, the science and research behind it, and then her recommendation to address it. She was very conscious to never stress my wife out, and we never left her office thinking there was a better option. She delivered our baby at Touro, where the nurses are big fans of hers. Through the pregnancy and during the delivery, she made an effort to address any concerns I had and made me part of the process. She is very serious about monitoring her patients; at one point in labor the baby's heart rate became irregular (because of the nurse adjusting the sensor) and Dr. Ross saw this in her office across the street and was in the room within a couple of minutes. Ultimately, she delivered our baby quickly with no complications at all. My wife thinks Dr. Ross is the best doctor she has ever had. I have never reviewed a doctor online much less an OB/GYN, but I am so happy with the care my wife and our baby received I thought people should know how good this lady is. read more

I found Dr. Ross through word-of-mouth, by asking physicians and their spouses for recommendations on obstetricians. When I asked for recommendations, I'd often get a short list of names, but Dr. Ross's name came up repeatedly as someone that physicians would choose or had chosen to deliver their own babies. I figured you can't go wrong with choosing a doctor's doctor, and her name surfaced again and again for both excellence in technical medical care and exceptional patient communication skills. From my first appointment, Dr. Ross provided individualized attention that reflected awareness of my personal circumstances. Even when I came to a routine appointment with a lengthy list of questions, she would take the time to really listen to what I was asking, answer my questions, and explain any related issues or concerns. She was also very proactive, going beyond responding to my individual concerns to identify strategies and treatment approaches that could help prevent future issues. Ultimately, I developed an acute medical condition (unrelated to the pregnancy) that required me to deliver my baby a little earlier than anticipated. She spent a significant amount of time with me explaining my options and the pros and cons associated with each one, which made me feel confident that I could make an informed decision. And the delivery went flawlessly, resulting in a healthy and happy baby. Throughout the delivery, Dr. Ross was calm, encouraging, and empathetic, and her mastery of the technical/medical side of things was readily apparent. With respect to recovery, I was struck by the fact that Dr. Ross's care in the post-partum period was just as excellent as during the period leading up to the birth. She went above and beyond to make sure I was recovering as expected, giving me her full and unhurried attention just like she always had. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Ross for almost 10 years now. She gives quick exams that are as comfortable as you can expect them to be. And Dr. Ross is always happy to sit and answer questions and never makes me feel rushed. More recently, Dr. Ross has been exceptional during my first pregnancy and the early delivery of my daughter at 25 weeks. She has been very supportive and helpful during this scary time. She is a doctor who tells you exactly what is going on without sugar coating things too much, which is something that I really love and respect. She's an amazing doctor! read more

Dr. Ross has been my OBGYN for 11 years. I would recommend her to anyone. She creates an environment where you feel safe to open up and discuss any health concerns. She was amazingly supportive during my miscarriage, and the successful birth of my son. I couldn't have asked for a better experience through my labor and delivery with her and her team. She is through and very knowledgeable. She takes the time to explain things and to be sure to address any questions. I felt like she always had my best interest in mind. She's an awesome doctor! read more

Dr. Ross is an amazing, caring doctor. All of her staff is really friendly. Sometimes you have to wait a little longer than you would like but it's because she spends that extra time with each person and answers all of your questions! read more

Dr. Ross was my OB during my first pregnancy. She's honestly one of the most caring physicians I've ever had. Knowing nothing about pregnancy, I often had many questions and she always make herself readily available after our appointments to address any concerns I had. Beyond that, when I had questions outside the office she always followed up and returned calls promptly which was great...especially for a freaked out soon-to-be first time mom. During the delivery my daughter she was awesome! She walked me through the entire thing and made it feel really easy. I knew I was in good hands. Her staff is amazingly courteous too! I ended up switching jobs during my pregnancy and they took the time to explain any questions I had regarding insurance and billing. Anyone working in hospital billing and insurance knows how frustrating and confusing that can be. The fact that they took the time to explain everything and worked with me helped me so much. read more

8 months into my pregnancy and I couldn't do it without her. Very kind and compassionate doctor. Doesn't make me feel stupid about all my silly first time pregnancy questions. : ) read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ross and her role in my pregnancy and baby's birth. My body and my baby were not able to have the painless calm birth I wish for anyone who desires it. But Dr Ross helped me safely avoid a c-section and I don't think that would have been possible with many other doctors. She is calm, forthright, and competent. She is a physician you can trust to understand your preferences and honor them; and you can trust her not to let preferences compromise your or your babies safety. I feel lucky to have been under doctor Ross' care for my pregnancy and delivery. read more

I found Dr. Ross online and saw that she had good reviews so I made an appointment. I wasn't disappointed. She was friendly and efficient. She took the time to learn my history and review my previous medical record that my former GYN faxed over. When I recently had a question that I wasn't sure if I needed an appointment or not, Dr. Ross returned my call within hours and answered my question, even scheduling lab work to figure out the issue. read more

Dr. Ross has been my doctor for the past 12 years. I love her! She's very caring and has a great bedside manner. I recently had the most amazing birth experience with Dr. Ross. Luckily, there were no complications with either baby or me, so I was able to birth naturally without any drugs. My birth plan was followed exactly. I was able to labor in the tub, have intermittent monitoring, and was not pressured at any point to do something I didn't want to do. Dr. Ross was very peaceful and calming during the delivery. ( no residents) She encouraged me throughout the labor and delivery. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My visits with Dr. Ross throughout my pregnancy were positive too. I never felt rushed and she was always willing to answer all of my questions. The wait to see her in her office was never long. (I always went in the morning.) I love Dr. Ross!! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Janet Ross for about 8 years now. I cannot say enough about her. She is the best doctor I have. She answers all my questions, makes me feel like I am important, and you can tell she really likes what she does. She makes going to the doctor a good experience. I am always impressed when she returns my lab results herself. I work for doctors and they would never do that! I have been through 2 pregnancies with her and cannot imagine seeing anyone else. She made me and my husband feel like family. She is very caring. I have reffered several people to her and will continue to do so. She has made delivering babies a breeze! Her staff is also very friendly! They are very helpful and return calls very promply! They also make me feel like family. I will follow Dr. Ross anywhere she goes. I love the fact also that she is so into New Orleans! read more

Love Dr. Ross and her staff! I just had my first baby and I was pretty nervous, to say the least. Dr. Ross was great at explaining everything I had questions about (without getting overly complicated like many doctors can/do) and made me feel completely comfortable. My pregnancy/delivery went to super smoothly and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Her office can get pretty busy (the fact that there are 2 other doctors in her office, with their own patients, makes the waiting room seem packed a lot of the time), as is the case with most doctors' offices. So, I always made sure to book my appointments as early in the morning as possible. Generally, I was in and out before even my scheduled appointment time. Baby is here and already a few weeks old, but I'll be sticking with Dr. Ross for my regular GYNO check-ups from now on! read more

Where to begin? This lady is absolutely wonderful. My wife and I simply adore Dr. Ross. She recently delivered my daughter (My son first) and helped bring a light to my life that I never knew existed. Shes always pleasurable, kind, patient, caring, astute, and the list goes on. If you find yourself waiting a little longer than normal to meet with her, don't fret. Shes in high demand and for a good reason, shes the best. Find a little patience and I promise you it will be worth it. Im a military man and my wife is a Nurse...I only mention that to shine light on how my wife and I understand good customer service, and Commitment. Take it from us, Dr. Ross is Top Notch!!!! read more

Dr. Ross is incredible! I am not one to write reviews, in fact I have never written a review. Dr. Ross deserves all the recognition!! I made an appointment with Dr Ross after finding in out that I was pregnant at 40 years old and had been trying to have a baby for a long time. My first instinct was to find the BEST OB, after much research I chose Dr. Ross and I was NOT disappointed. She is very knowledgeable, caring, throughly, and detailed. She doesn't fluff things, she tells you the truth and listen attentively to your concerns. Close to my delivery, Dr. Ross came up with a birth plan and made sure I was 100% confortable and on board to have a safe and natural birth. When it came time for the birth of my healthy baby boy, Dr. Ross was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. There is not enough words to describe the feeling of trust I had on her and knowing that she was going to take care of myself and my baby. Labor wasn't easy and the entire time she was there assuring me that I was doing great and everything was going to be ok, she guide me the entire time. I could write about Dr Ross all day long, I am truly her fan. Shout out as well to her awesome nurses and all the nurses that worked with her at Touro Hospital (Nurses at the hospital love and respect Dr. Ross). read more

Easy like Sunday morning! Dr. Ross has the best bedside manner that I've seen so far. She takes her time and before she discharges you from clinic she asks, "So, what else is going on?" Any and all concerns are addressed. When I learned I was pregnant she laid out the plan in detail with dates, tests, etc to be done. I never felt "out of the know." The nurses are ALWAYS pleasant, helpful, and time-efficient. They have been with Dr. Ross for over ten years and they are great with getting her patient messages and following up. I also gave birth for the first time 2 months ago and it couldn't have gone any better (minus the pain). Dr. Ross admitted me when I was in active labor and she was reachable the ENTIRE time. She was able to monitor my status via remote access and interrupted her dinner to come over right away when my monitor showed decels. I felt very comfortable with her at bedside. When it was time to push I was relaxed because she was relaxed. She talked me through the entire process and gave me lots of smiles and hugs once my baby entered the world. Her follow-up the next day was very reassuring. She sat on my bed and talked so calmly. She puts your mind at ease! I don't ever plan on leaving her. Even if I moved away I think I would still find my way back to Dr. Janet Ross twice a year! Thank you soooooo much! read more

We have been coming to Dr. Ross for over three years and now two babies! Ever patient with our never-ending questions, she is truly the best. We can not recommend her enough to be your guide through childbirth. read more

This doctor's office has been a nightmare for me. I scheduled a routine pap as a new patient and had to wait months for my appointment date. I waited for the appointment because I was told she was a great doctor. I went for a routine pap and was asked about my medical history as a new patient. I have been diagnosed with Endometriosis in the past and continue to struggle with it so I talked with her about that. When I was checking out, as expected, I was told that I did not owe a copay because it is covered under my insurance plan for women's wellness. I received a bill a short time after for the visit and was told by my insurance company, BC/BS, that Dr. Ross had coded the visit as a "problem visit", and the visit was now subject to a high copay. It feels absolutely violating to me that as a new patient, you can be billed for a copay after your appointment for answering questions honestly during what is supposed to be a covered yearly women's wellness exam. The insurance company told me that this is a common way for doctors to get out of having to honor the Affordable Care Act's women's wellness provisions. My insurance company told me that there was nothing I could do about it and that every visit is subject to whatever the doctor codes the visit for. I called the doctor's office and was told that because we discussed my medical history, it was considered a "problem visit". When I talked with management at Touro about this, they informed me that whatever the doctor codes the visit for is what I have to pay. What is the point of a women's wellness exam if you are a new patient and talk with your doctor about your medical history when they ask for it and then it gets coded as a different kind of visit after you leave the office? It is fraudulent and wrong, especially as a female doctor. This is the kind of greed that the Affordable Care Act is supposed to help correct, but it looks like doctors and the healthcare industry will always find a way around the law. Before I received this bill, I had scheduled follow-up exams for handling the problems that I was billed for in the "problem visit"/yearly pap, and had to have lab work done. Dr. Ross is in my insurance network and all labs are to be covered at 100%. The doctor's office was not sending the lab work to in-network labs and I received additional bills for the original pap and another lab in follow-up visits, now subject to out of network co-pays. When I called the insurance company and the lab about this, I was told that the doctor's office was using out-of-network labs and not submitting the claims properly. I just received another bill stating I am going to be turned over to a collection agency for labs that are covered by my insurance at 100%. I have called Dr. Ross' office at least five times regarding these bills and have been told that they would look into it and take care of it. The insurance company told me that even though this doctor is an in-network provider, doctors can send labs to wherever they want and the patient is responsible for the lab bill no matter what the doctor chooses and what your insurance policy says. What a racket! When doctors and insurance companies wonder why patients are disgusted by the healthcare industry, this is why. Thinking about it all makes me sick to my stomach. In general, I found Dr. Ross to be disinterested and condescending when speaking with her. In my experience with OB/GYNs, it is difficult to find a caring doctor when you have female medical problems, but they treat pregnant women with a lot of respect and care. It always makes me feel terrible. Dr. Ross was running considerably behind schedule for every appointment I scheduled with her as I waited and watched pregnant women come in after me and leave one after the other while I was still waiting for my appointment in her office. Dr. Ross literally left me with a shrug about the problems I've been experiencing and it made me feel like I am not a human being. I would strongly urge anyone not to choose Dr. Ross or the Touro network if you are looking for good healthcare. This doctor's office/network is concerned with booking more patients than they have time or care for and making as much money as possible from you while you wait for appointments and figure out billing problems yourself. Do not expect high-quality service or care here. If anyone reading this has experience with a great OB/GYN, please let me know! I am searching for a doctor in the area that will treat me and the problems I'm experiencing with respect, care, and honesty. read more

I found Dr. Ross on yelp and decided to try her out for my second pregnancy. I later realized what an awesome reputation she has around the city. I had the best experience delivering my second child with her. I never waited more thank 5 mins for my scheduled appointments. She has an excellent bedside manner, and I will continue to use her for further OB/GYN needs. read more

I moved to NOLA in Aug. 2015 and found out I was pregnant in Sept 2015. I did not have a doc in this city so I turned to reviews to find someone to make an appointment with. I decided upon Dr Ross and I am SO happy I did! I recently gave birth via C-section to twin boys and Dr Ross was amazing through out the whole process. She spent quality time with me on each visit, answering any and all questions I had. She made the experience of having our boys personal and she genuinely cared for my well being. I would recommend Dr Ross to any woman looking for a wonderful Doctor! read more

Dr. Janet Ross is wonderful OBGYN. She has been mine for over a decade and just delivered my first baby. She is a doctor who makes sure she spends time with her patients, making sure they have the chance to remember questions they might have had. She makes me feel like there is nothing stupid I could ask or say! Sure you might have to wait a minute or two in the exam room, but when you see the type of personal attention you get it is SOOO worth it!!!Her nurses are wonderful and also have the same knack as Dr. Ross for making you feel comfortable. If you are looking for an OB in the New Orleans area- She is the one! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Ross since 2007, when my last doctor stopped delivering babies. Dr. Ross has delivered two of my children since then, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She's very easy to talk to, always upbeat and positive, listens to my concerns and questions and takes the time to discuss even the smallest details with me. You can ask her anything, and she never makes you feel embarrassed by your questions. She also never pressures you into making certain decisions regarding birth control, being induced, etc., but rather gives you all your options and time to think them over. Her staff are all very friendly as well. The only downside can be long wait times, especially if she has to run across the street for a delivery, but that can't be helped. I've found if I schedule my appointments as early as possible or just after lunch, I usually get to see her much quicker. read more

We delivered with Dr. Ross this October. We had heard horror stories from our friends about their doctors and how they were uninvolved with their labors until the final push. We worried that would happen to us. Nothing could have been farther from our experience. Dr. Ross coached us through several hours of our labor. She and the nurses were amazing and inspired us to go beyond our limits to reach our goal of a healthy birth. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ross and plan to work with her again for our next child. read more

As a healthcare provider, I am very particular on who I choose to see for my treatment needs. I became a patient of Dr. Ross because of her reputation throughout the medical community and from references by friends, family and colleagues who trust her. My experience with Dr. Ross has been great. In addition to making me feel 100% percent comfortable in contacting her anytime I had a question or needed advice, Dr. Ross was also very proactive in asking me questions during my appointments and follow-up phone calls to encourage and support me. Dr. Janet Ross is the perfect mix of a friendly personality blended with the utmost professionalism and any female would benefit from her talents. I have to partially attribute the health of my beautiful new baby to Dr. Janet Ross. My husband and I are looking forward to seeing her again for our second child. read more

Dr. Ross handled my first pregnancy, and she is awesome! She was professional yet excited at all my visits. And, she made the delivery super fun and easy, despite some somewhat stressful circumstances. I cannot wait to get pregnant again!! read more

Wow, what a nightmare! I was left waiting in a very cold room for 45 minutes. Of course, I was not happy at all. When the doctor finally saunters in, there was no apology for being so late. Instead, speaking to my husband and not me, she motions her head toward me and says "She seems angry". In fact, Dr. Ross seems angry, insecure, and unprofessional. She wasn't worth the wait and I wish I had left. I would not recommend her to anyone. I've already asked a few doctors and I was told about several excellent OB/GYNs in Nola with a good bedside manner. Good luck! read more

First of all I really do not know why Dr Ross has so many good reviews, as my experience was very different. I went to Dr Ross, to have my yearly exam and to talk about my birth control options as mine was about to expire. Firstly there was a little wait in the waiting rooms, about 25 minutes, which is perfectly fine. After this a nurse came and took my weight then took me to a room and took my blood pressure (although i have my doubts that this was done correctly as the thing on my arm was barely pumped up and there was minimum listening with the stethoscope). Then i was told to completely undress and put on the paper gown with the sheet to cover my front. When the nurse left i very quickly undressed and got ready for the doctor, after an hour on been in a state of undress in a very cold room (my toes had turned blue) i decided i better check where the doctor was. After popping my head around the door, i was told i would be next. Another 5 minutes later the doctor came in and asked if i wanted to move to a warmer, which of course i did, so i had to juggle my discarded clothes and try to keep the sheet and paper gown in place to move across the hall to another room. Once in the other room, Dr Ross barely made any eye contact with me, she completed a breast exam which was fine and done very quickly. The she moved over to check my vagina, after adjusting the stirrups, i was good to go. Without any warning Dr Ross started to insert her instruments, this of course made me jump out of my skin. I know this is not a pleasant experience for us ladies but i think a little warning is definitely in order so that we at least expect it. She did apologize for making me jump and the rest of that exam went okay, it was slightly uncomfortable but that is usually true for me. After this exam i was hoping to get some help with my contraceptive options. Dr Ross told me because of my weight that there was not any options for me for 6 months as she wanted me to have a break from my birth control. When i asked what options i would have after the 6 months i was told due to my weight i was not eligible for ANY oral contraceptive and that the only real option left was the Mirena, which is a vaginal insert, which i had already explained i did not want. She was also unable to remove my current birth control which is inserted in my arm and told me to go to planned parenthood. Today i went to planned parenthood and i was told that i was able to have all forms of contraceptive and they did not understand why i was told differently. MY ADVICE TO ANYONE, if you need help with your contraceptive NEVER go to Dr Ross, in fact i would not recommend her full stop. I would recommend Planned Parenthood for advice and help with contraceptive as they discussed with me in depth all of my options. Honestly when i go for my next exam i am going to go to planned parenthood too as they were very polite and the wait was about 20 minutes which is reasonable. Book ahead for an appointment it should help things move quicker . read more

Been a patient for over 5 years. Still takes 4-6 weeks to schedule. Really? I thought the physicians are there to serve the community, not to act unavailable. Maybe should consider expanding practice to keep up with patient population? read more

I've been with Dr. Ross for a number of years (she was suggested to me by my Mom who's GYNO retired). We both love her to pieces. She is professional, personable and very proficient in her field. She delivered my daughter 7 years ago and the experience was above & beyond what I expected it to be (my first delivery). She is attentive and she cares for her patients. I know it might be crazy to hear but Janet makes going to see your GYNO a pleasant experience (smile). She also has a great staff (it has a very family-like atmosphere within the office). Janet is a delight & I have recommended her to several co-workers & friends. Heather G. read more

I began seeing Dr. Ross after moving home to New Orleans during my first pregnancy last year, and I cannot write enough positive comments about my experience with her. Most importantly, she is extremely knowledgable about her craft, and is both thorough and efficient in her exams. A welcome bonus is that she has a gentle bedside manner and genuinely listens to her patients. I tend to come to exams with a list of questions, and never once felt rushed. To me, that sort of experience is worth waiting a little longer in the waiting room. During my labor, she was monitoring my vitals and the baby's heartbeat via iPad when she could not be in the room, and tailored my delivery to the birth plan we had previously discussed. Although I was anxious and uncertain about going through labor for the first time, she walked me through it in a reassuring manner. I will continue to see her as long as she practices in NOLA, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgable, and warm OBGYN. read more

We chose Dr Ross to be my OB for my first pregnancy, and my experience with her was everything I could have hoped for! Her office is clean and as long as you arrive 15 minutes ahead of your appointment time, you will be seen at or very near to your actual given appointment time. We switched insurances halfway through the pregnancy, and the office was very accommodating and explained to us, in detail, the differences in our policies. Dr. Ross is super easy going and chill, but also very straightforward. Her bedside manner is impeccable, and she thoroughly answered any and all questions we had throughout the entire pregnancy/labor/birth experience. She flawlessly delivered our beautiful daughter within 12 hours of us checking into L&D at Touro, and I couldn't be more impressed and thankful! In my opinion, she is the best OB out there. I am looking forward to her delivering my future children as well:) read more
