"Does what I eat matter?" We get asked this question a lot by patients who are recovering from surgery. Here's a quick post from our blog that answers just how big an impact what you eat can have on recovery from surgery: http://www.drlyndongross.com//how-nutrition-can-help-in-t/

Don't just take it from us when we say that Dr. Lyndon Gross is awesome. Check out what Joeli Barbour had to say about Dr. Gross and the Gross Team: "First of all, let me say how thankful I am for Dr. Gross and his amazing team. Turns out I had something that is not super common. I came to see Dr. Gross and it was determined that I had an issue with my IT Band. Dr. Gross did an injection and also ordered PT, hoping that would take care of the issue. Unfortunately it did n...ot and with surgery to have my IT Band lengthened being the only option, I did not hesitate in my decision. I was completely confident in Dr. Gross and his team. Everything from the initial consultation through surgery and rehab, was top notch. I went from not being able to walk without excruciating pain or being able to kneel down on that knee, to being able to get out and a hike, walk and live my life to the fullest again. Recently I went to church camp with some of our youth. One of the activities we did while we were at camp was caving. We hiked to the cave and spent a couple of hours exploring the cave, which was quite strenuous and included some climbing and navigating through the cave which had a very slippery floor. After we finished exploring the cave, we had to hike back to the van. A good part of this hike was at a 45 degree angle. I never had a twinge of pain or discomfort the entire time. I would have definitely never been able to do that prior to my surgery. I have attached a photo of me after caving. It was so much fun and I was so proud of myself for being able to accomplish this. This would not have been possible without Dr. Gross and his team. They are extremely professional and efficient, but also very friendly and welcoming. It was always a joy to visit their office. I am so grateful for everything they have done for me. I highly recommend Dr. Gross and his entire staff. You will be treated wonderfully and as if you are the most important person to them."
