Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

When I was a patient with Dr. Russel, I was dealing with severe bipolar 1. I was given shots of Ivega Sustenna. When I was upset about the 25 pounds I had gained, Dr. Russel told me I had REGRESSED & prescribed me a higher dose in tablet form, along with an anti-depressent. I was just feeling "human emotions" and her response was "more meds!' Not only had I gained the weight, but looked like a zombie for my daughter's wedding. People remarked how SCARY I looked and I have no memory of the event. I had a wear a huge dress, while my size 2 "mother of the bride dress" hung in my closet. Thankfully, 2 years later, I saw a new practitioner and was put on Lamictal . I recreated a life for myself.. People I knew would see me and remark "you are alive", "you're bright", you've changed, "you look human again". I was able to feel emotions, enjoy life and have friends again. This painful episode of my life has haunted me for years!
