Dr. Scott A. Ross
Dr. Scott A. Ross attended medical school at SUNY Syracuse Upstate Medical Center in his native New York. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine in Connecticut, earning Board Certification through his affiliation with Yale University, where he also initiated his training in Dermatology. He then pursued specialized Dermatology training at the University of Puerto Rico, where he graduated first in his class in 1990 and became a Board-Certified Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology.
After completing his training, Dr. Ross moved to Naples, Florida, where he co-founded Naples Dermatology. Over the course of his distinguished career, Dr. Ross has received multiple accolades, including recognition as a Top Doctor and Top Dermatologist. He has published numerous articles on skin cancer, including pioneering treatments for squamous cell carcinoma with intralesional therapy. Dr. Ross has treated over 100,000 skin cancers and has performed more than 25,000 Mohs surgeries, achieving a remarkably high cure rate through minimally invasive methods. His prestigious, referral-based practice is built on over 30 years of experience and a deep commitment to patient care. He has been active as a volunteer at the Neighborhood Health Clinic in Naples, assisting working uninsured members of our community to receive Dermatology care.
In his spare time, Dr. Ross enjoys traveling, staying active outdoors, and spending time with his family, especially boating and fishing. He is also a member of Mensa and a published author of the medical fiction novel Wrinkle.
“Dr. Ross was very thorough and attentive. Dr. Ross spent time with me to make sure he addressed all of my concerns. Unlike most doctors I go to, I actually saw Dr. Ross, not his PA. He found one spot, that I would have never guessed was a problem, and he did a biopsy. When the results came back, I was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma. Within a week, he performed MOHS surgery and completely removed the cancer. The scar on my forehead is barely noticeable.
I recommend everyone to schedule an appointment with him if you want a complete exam for skin cancer.”
