While the urban regions work to provide health care to their indigent citizens, rural areas are facing a constant shortage of physicians. Remote areas are always looking for doctors willing to set up their offices in these areas of the country. For Dr. Robert Gross, DO, a 1998 alumnus of Michigan State University, the idea of moving to the Lake Isabella, California area and setting up a clinic was an easy sell. “Every morning I drive to work on the side of a mountain overlooking this beautiful pristine lake,” said Dr.Gross. “I’m in awe every time I see it.”. In November 2006, Dr. Gross and his wife Dr. Holly Spohn-Gross, DPM, also a MSU graduate, opened Sienna Wellness Institute.
