Jeff Gross, M.D.
Dr. Jeff Gross went to UC Berkeley as an undergraduate, studying under Nobel Prize winning professors in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Nuclear Chemistry. He then matriculated in medical school at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. where he participated in virology research. His work on nested PCR is now used for improving the diagnosis of viral infections, most notably Covid -19. Dr. Gross specialized in neurosurgery, and trained at busy trauma centers and veterans hospitals, and completed the prestigious fellowship in spinal biomechanics under Ed Benzel, M.D.
Dr. Gross has authored numerous book chapters, scientific abstracts, peer-reviewed medical journal articles, and given oral presentations as national medical meetings. He has written across various scientific and medical topics, bridging the fields of clinical medicine, neuroscience, biomedical optics, artificial neural networks (artificial intelligence), and regenerative stem cell medicine. More recently, he has been an invited author for stem cell text books, and is presently working on an informational anti-aging book for all readers.
His research resume includes landmark work in the area in the diagnostic use of lasers in brain tissue. His publication concerning the optical properties in living brain tissue has been cited over 400 times. Dr. Gross has written successful NIH grants, and multiple approved Institutional review board protocols. Dr. Gross has treated thousands of patients with neurosurgical problems and injuries, and he has successfully treated 95% of those without surgery. He maintains an active practice of neurosurgery with a focus
on the spine, and performs many second opinions and helps to find ways of helping his patients to delay or avoid surgery by seeking all possible alternative options first, including stem cell and other regenerative approaches.
Dr. Gross also helps patients who have already had unsuccessful surgery elsewhere. In the last two decades, Dr. Gross has not billed Medicare or Medicaid for any patient care, preferring to focus his charitable efforts on patient care. He has given back over $100,000,000.00 in patient care. Dr. Gross is also a champion for the fight against health insurance abuse for patients facing administrative denials while in need of medical services.
