Dr. David A. Ross: Miami’s Trusted Leader in Sports Medicine
In a community that celebrates outdoor living and active lifestyles, Dr. David A. Ross has become a name synonymous with excellence in Sports Medicine. From the courts and marinas of Coconut Grove to the fitness studios and running trails that line Biscayne Bay, Dr. Ross is the physician athletes and active individuals trust to keep them healthy, performing, and pain-free.
At Ross Medical Group in Miami, Dr. Ross leads one of South Florida’s top non-surgical sports medicine practices — helping patients recover from injury, optimize performance, and prevent future setbacks through science, innovation, and personalized care.
A Leader in Non-Surgical Sports Medicine
Board-certified in Sports Medicine and Family Medicine, Dr. Ross brings a decade of experience caring for athletes of all ages — from elite professionals to weekend warriors. His philosophy is centered on one guiding principle: restore performance without unnecessary surgery.
“Our focus is to help each athlete recover stronger,” says Dr. Ross. “By using advanced, evidence-based treatments and truly understanding the demands of their sport, we can help them heal faster and stay active longer.”
This personalized, prevention-first approach has earned Dr. Ross a devoted following among Miami’s athletic community — especially in the Grove, where cycling, tennis, running, and water sports are a way of life.
Running the Grove: A Doctor Who Trains Where His Patients Train
It’s not unusual to spot Dr. David Ross on a training run through the streets of South Florida. For him, these runs aren’t just exercise — they’re a connection to the same community he treats.
“Running through Coconut Grove is one of my favorite things to do,” Dr. Ross says. “It’s peaceful, inspiring, and it reminds me exactly why I do what I do. I’m out here experiencing the same physical demands, the same challenges, and the same joy of movement that my patients do.”
That shared perspective influences the way he practices medicine. Dr. Ross understands how an injury can derail months of training — or how the humid Miami heat can test even seasoned athletes. His firsthand experience as a lifelong runner and fitness enthusiast allows him to empathize deeply with his patients and design recovery programs that fit their real-world needs.
“When I’m out there running, I think like my patients,” he adds. “I know what it means to miss a workout or to push through pain. My job is to help them move without limitations.”
Comprehensive Sports Medicine Services
Dr. Ross and his team at Ross Medical Group offer a full spectrum of sports medicine services, including:
- Regenerative Medicine (PRP and Cell-Based Therapies) – Advanced biologic treatments that harness the body’s own healing potential to treat joint, tendon, and ligament injuries.
- Ultrasound-Guided Injections – Real-time imaging for precise diagnosis and targeted treatment.
- Performance Optimization & Sweat Testing – Individualized hydration and recovery analysis — ideal for endurance athletes training in South Florida’s heat.
- Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation – Custom programs developed with physical therapists and trainers to prevent recurrence and improve strength, balance, and mobility.
Regenerative Medicine: Healing from Within
A pioneer in Regenerative Sports Medicine, Dr. Ross has helped redefine recovery for countless athletes. His expertise in Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and other cell-based techniques allows patients to heal naturally — often avoiding surgery altogether.
“Regenerative medicine gives us a way to stimulate the body’s own repair mechanisms,” explains Dr. Ross. “It’s safe, effective, and proven — especially for tendon, ligament, and overuse injuries common among active adults.”
Many of Dr. Ross’s patients credit his biologic treatments for getting them back to the sports they love with minimal downtime.
The Grove’s Choice for Active Lifestyles
For Coconut Grove residents, activity isn’t just recreation — it’s part of daily life. Whether it’s early morning runs through Kennedy Park, sailing out of the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, or yoga in Peacock Park, staying active is integral to the Grove’s identity.
Dr. Ross understands that lifestyle deeply. His approach to care aligns perfectly with the Grove’s health-conscious, outdoors-oriented community. Patients come to him not only for injury treatment, but for guidance on performance, prevention, and longevity.
“Every patient has a goal,” Dr. Ross says. “For some, it’s running their first 5K. For others, it’s staying fit enough to play tennis or paddleboard every weekend. My job is to make sure they can keep doing what they love, safely and confidently.”
High-Tech Care with a Neighborhood Feel
Though Ross Medical Group offers state-of-the-art technology — including diagnostic ultrasound, regenerative therapies, and precision-guided procedures — the atmosphere remains warm, personal, and community-oriented.
Located at 8200 SW 117Th Avenue, the practice serves as a hub for athletes and families throughout Miami-Dade. Dr. Ross’s patient-first philosophy ensures every individual receives dedicated time, clear explanations, and a plan tailored to their lifestyle.
“Medicine should feel personal,” he emphasizes. “We’re not just treating symptoms — we’re helping people live active, fulfilling lives.”
Caring for the Next Generation of Athletes
Dr. Ross is also a trusted resource for our city’s young athletes. Partnering with local schools, tennis academies, and fitness organizations, he helps educate families on safe training practices, hydration, and concussion awareness. His goal: to keep young athletes healthy, resilient, and motivated for years to come.
“Prevention starts early,” Dr. Ross notes. “When we teach kids proper movement and recovery habits now, we’re setting them up for a lifetime of athletic success.”
The Future of Sports Medicine in Coconut Grove
As sports medicine continues to evolve, Dr. Ross is leading the way in integrating regenerative treatments, personalized performance data, and holistic care. His practice reflects the very spirit of Coconut Grove — innovative, active, and deeply connected to community well-being.
“Coconut Grove represents everything I love about Miami — movement, health, and energy,” says Dr. Ross. “It’s an incredible community of people who truly value staying active, and our mission is to keep them doing exactly that.”
