Dr. Warren
Ross - Primary Care
Background/Experience
Dr. Ross graduated from the University of Buffalo School of
Medicine in 1971. After an internship at the University of
Buffalo he entered the US Public Health Service. During his
stint with the US Public Health Service he received training
in psychotherapy at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland. In
addition he was able to complete training in Acupuncture
therapy in Oxford, Great Britain. He moved to Columbia,
Maryland in 1976 to help start the Center for Traditional
Acupuncture as one of the attending
physician/acupuncturists. He joined the University of
Maryland, Family Practice Program in late 1976. He was an
Associate Professor at the University of Maryland from 1977
to 1980. During that time he developed a course on Holistic
Medicine for the freshmen medical students. He completed an
Internal Medicine Residency at the Union Memorial Hospital
in Baltimore in 1981. He started the first hospital based
Fitness Program in Baltimore at the Union Memorial Hospital
in 1981. He was the Medical Director for the second Hospice
Program in the state at that time. He has been in the
private practice of Internal Medicine since 1983. He
received Board Certification in Family Practice, Internal
Medicine and Geriatrics.
Treatment Philosophy
During
my
32
years of medical practice, I have worked within the standard
medical community while remaining sympathetic to the
alternative/ complementary medicine movement. In the
Functional Medicine approach I have found a science-based
method that integrates standard and alternative/
complementary therapies. We are at the verge of a
transformation in health care. People now have greater
freedom in choosing the type of health care services that
fit their needs. A nutritional approach to health care can
provide an excellent complement to standard medical
services. In many cases this approach is far safer and more
effective than the standard medical approach to health
problems. A prudent application of complementary care
techniques requires a respect for the standard medical
therapies a person may be receiving, while integrating
alternative therapies in a comprehensive health care
program. I look forward to working with people who are
highly motivated to participate in their own health
enhancement. Ultimately, it is the effort of the individual
that will produce success.
