Ross Health is a pioneering holistic medical practice with offices in San Francisco and Santa Barbara, California, led by Dr. Gary S. Ross, MD. A recognized pioneer in holistic and integrative medicine with over 35 years of experience, Dr. Ross built his practice on the philosophy of “Think Like a Healer® — Blending the Best of East and West.” That framework — treating the whole person rather than isolated symptoms — shapes every encounter, every diagnostic workup, and every individualized treatment plan delivered at Ross Health. Patients travel from across the Bay Area and Central Coast to work with Dr. Ross because of his rare ability to integrate conventional medicine with proven complementary and alternative therapies, creating care plans that address root causes while respecting the full complexity of each patient's health. Whether managing a complex chronic condition, optimizing hormone balance, reversing fatigue, or supporting immune function, Ross Health offers a depth of expertise rarely found in a single practice.

About the Physician

Dr. Gary Ross has spent more than three decades pioneering an integrative approach to medicine that draws on the best of both conventional and holistic healing traditions. His “Think Like a Healer®” philosophy reflects a foundational belief that lasting health requires attention to mind, body, and spirit — that true healing is impossible when the patient is reduced to a single organ system or a list of symptoms. Dr. Ross brings expertise in natural thyroid treatment, bioidentical hormone restoration, adrenal wellness, IV nutritional therapy, anti-aging medicine, and infectious disease management including Lyme disease. He has built an enduring reputation across the Bay Area and Central Coast for helping patients who have struggled to find answers elsewhere — those with complex, overlapping conditions that conventional medicine has been unable to resolve. His Santa Barbara and San Francisco offices provide patients on both ends of California's Central Coast with direct access to his integrative expertise.

Services Offered
