Dr. Thomas Gross is a specialist in joint replacement surgery of the hip and knee. He has been in private practice in Columbia, South Carolina with Midlands Orthopaedics, a premier group of orthopaedic subspecialists, since 1994.

He attended medical school at Johns Hopkins University, and completed his orthopaedic surgery residency there as well. During ten years at America's most renowned medical training centers, he was able to learn from some of the world's leaders in medicine, surgery and especially joint replacement. Under the influence of experts such as Drs. Brooker, Riley, Krackow and Hungerford, he began developing an interest in complex joint reconstruction and joint implant design.

During his residency training at the Hospital for Special Surgery, Dr. Su received the Jean McDaniel award, given in recognition of his commitment to patient care and teaching. While a fellow in adult reconstructive surgery at HSS, Dr. Su trained in the latest techniques of hip and knee replacement, minimally invasive surgery, joint reconstruction, and revision hip and knee replacement. He has also performed additional training in hip surface replacement.

Dr. Su has a particular interest in treating young, active patients with hip and knee arthritis, offering both non-surgical and surgical management. He strives to individualize each patient’s treatment to match their specific needs.

At age 45, Buzz was having a hard time getting around because of a burning pain in his leg. Sitting in meetings was challenging, and even more devastating to his quality of life, he had difficulty sleeping. At 6 feet 9 inches tall, Buzz had been a basketball player for the University of California, as well as professional teams. Although he was in good health, the combination of genetics (both grandparents had hip issues) and his active lifestyle resulted in osteoarthritis in his hip at a young age, which limited his ability to enjoy a very full life.
