Janet M Ross, MD

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.

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.

This is a very busy gyno/​obstetrics office. Prepare to wait for a while after your scheduled appointment time to actually get in to see this doc. When I find a doc office that tends to run behind, I try to schedule morning appointments as they are less behind than in the afternoon (just an idea!).
It was, however, worthwhile to wait to see Dr. Ross, because she DOES take her time with you. Additionally, I wanted a non-​hormonal birth control option (IUD). Dr. Ross is the first gyno I’ve seen that did not patronize me and try to talk me into the pill citing all of the medical benefits. I prefer to not alter my hormones, and I’m tired of docs shoving the western medicine approach («there’s a medication for that!») down my throat as «right»! Thank you, Dr. Ross for discussing all of the options with me and being open to my concerns.
The exam itself is quick and as comfortable as this type of exam can be.

Welp, Unilocal,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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
