Andrew Ross, MD

OBGYN

FLS certified
After nearly 20 years at Swedish, Dr. Andrew Ross was thrilled to move his practice a few doors down to Cherry Hills Midwifery and OB/GYN in 2020.

Dr. Ross is native of New York City with a University of Michigan degree in Biological Anthropology, a brief career in sports marketing, an MD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, and residency in Ob/Gyn at Thomas Jefferson in Philadelphia, and has practiced at Swedish since graduation.

He is most proud of his abilities to communicate with his patients in a way that allows them to feel that their desires and concerns are an integral part of their treatment plans. His goal is complete and ethical communication so that patients feel that all their options have been made available to them, and they have been empowered to choose the plan of care that is right for them.

With a Board Certification in Obstetrics and Gynecology Dr. Ross is has been at the forefront of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, doing laparoscopic hysterectomies since the 1990s, and is certified in the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery by the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons. He is the first gynecologist in the state of Colorado to have done a single incision laparoscopic hysterectomy, is skilled with the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System, and has proctored new da Vinci® gynecologic surgeons at Swedish Medical Center, as well as other hospitals locally and nationally. His professional surgical goal is to never do an abdominal hysterectomy.

Any of the veteran L+D nurses on at Swedish can attest to his ability as a birth attendant, encompassing the full set of skills to ensure the safety of mother and baby, including operative delivery to avoid C-section, as well as the communication skills to allow him to make families feel invested in and comfortable with their care. The GYN staff will speak to his efficiency and dexterity as well as an even temperament in the OR.

Personally, Dr. Ross enjoys all of the outdoor activities Colorado offers. He is an avid mountain and road cyclist and enjoys snowboarding when the opportunity arises. He enjoys cooking for his wife and son, particularly with vegetables he grows in his own garden. Dr. Ross has worked with local organizations committed to advancing the art and science of medicine, and access to reproductive healthcare.
