Welcome to Ozark Functional Wellness
CHIROPRACTIC | ACUPUNCTURE | FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE | DOT PHYSICALS
At Ozark Functional Wellness,
you will be treated as a person, not just another number. It is my goal to get you firing on all cylinders and have you living your best life...pain free.
Our hours vary, check the Dr’s calendar for availability. If you need special hours contact us with your request. We are a cash practice (we take credit cards). Our new patient exam and adjustment is $50. It takes approximately 25-45 mins, start to finish. X-Rays and other imaging can be ordered on a “as needed” basis. If you have prior imaging, we would love to take a look at it!
Why Ozark Functional Wellness?
Search for the Root Cause
Oftentimes, the pain or discomfort is not where we think it is. My job is to search for the root cause of the problem and not just treat the symptoms. This could be as simple as a joint out of place putting pressure on a nerve to a food sensitivity that is causing you to have headaches.
Holistic Approach
A holistic approach to health care means not just looking at one part of the body as if it exists by itself. Looking at the body, mind and spirit as a whole system is how we find balance.
Families Welcome
I love to see the whole family. I have families that drive from an hour or more away to see me. From babies to adulthood, everyone should be functioning at their highest degree.
Activator Techniques Used
Whether you are scared to be "popped"/"cracked" or have osteoporosis, we have gentle techniques available. I tend to use this type of tool on very young children and people that have rigid guarding muscles.
Emphasis on Muscular Involvement
Dr. Gross was a massage therapist for 16 years and this definitely influences his approach to Chiropractic care. He likes to test, then treat, then test again to be sure that there was a measurable improvement.
We have a LOKI
Loki is the Office Assistant and loves to greet our patients. He is here for you if you need someone to pet just in case you are stressed. Or he can lay in his little bed and sleep. Loki is a Boston Terrier and unusually calm for his breed when he is on task. We look forward to meeting you.

Testimonials
Really took his time...
I started seeing Dr Gross just after my insurance chiropractor copay jumped from $5 to $60! And less than a month later, I was involved in a super low-impact rear end collision. Thank goodness for Dr Gross!
I never in a million years would have thought that small bumper tap would cause whiplash, but it did. I’m so thankful that Dr Gross worked around my work schedule and was able to see me and TAKE THE TIME to work on giving me range of motion instead of just doing a quick adjustment before the next patient was at his door.
I’ve been to several chiropractors over the years and I not only recommend Dr Gross but I trust him.

Kind and compassionate...
Dr Gross is very kind, compassionate and knowledgeable with his care. I have been seeing him for some ongoing neck and upper back issues and would highly recommend him!
I really appreciate that he takes as much time as is needed to get you feeling better before leaving. No matter what part of my body is hurting whether feet, wrists, hips, back or neck he will do what he can to bring relief and will give me tips on what I can do at home to help as well. He incorporates soft tissue work into his treatments which has been really effective in helping me.
Finding a Functional Medicine Chiropractor that is affordable has been such a blessing. He is there to help his patients get well! Whether you have on-going chronic issues or just want to maintain wellness through Chiropractic care, I would recommend checking him out!

No cookie cutter approach...
Dr. Gross is wonderful! His Chiropractic skills are the best I have encountered and he treats every individual based on their needs and problems. He takes his time talking with and evaluating each patient so no cookie approach of 15 minutes for each patient.
His knowledge of functional wellness and natural treatments is excellent as well and he takes the time to do an in-depth patient health questionnaire to assess the problems for the best treatment approach.
I highly recommend Dr. Gross for Chiropractic care and for any health issue or health mystery you might be struggling with.

Caring, compassionate...
Dr. Gross is caring, compassionate and always exceeds my expectations with his knowledge and treatment.
I highly recommend his care. He is knowledgeable in many modalities of holistic medicine and continually is pursuing additional education to improve care for his patients.
I first came to him when my chiropractor was on maternity leave. I found his care to be superior and have remained his patient from that point until now.

Muscle work is key...
When I went to see Dr. Gross, I had a stiff neck and a “crick.”
He started by doing a massage, and then he did a manual adjustment. I felt so much better!! I've been a couple of times for the same problem, and he always fixes it. The massage is the key!
Dr. Gross is super knowledgeable and very thorough AND affordable! His goal is always to get to the root of the problem.

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your healthcare will cost.
Under the current law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item, unless it is the same day of service in which, then expect the Good Faith Estimate before treatment is provided. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
