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.

He is amazing. He takes time to listen to you and explain everything and makes sure you understand what all is going.

The best I've ever had, and I've had a lot of Dr's
Dr. Russell has been my doctor for a couple of years now. I trust him 100% I've had years and years of health problems, and horrible experiences with health care providers. Dr. Russell is the only doctor I've had that goes out of his way to do what is best for me. He'll tell me when my insurance company isn't serving my best interest. He'll tell me if some new treatment is a miracle or if it's a rip off. He even tells me if I'm doing something stupid and need to get my act together. I honestly feel like I have a friend in the health business that I can get help from anytime I need it.

Dr. Russell was very thorough and took the time to listen to all of my concerns. He is one of the few doctors I don’t feel rushed while visiting. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a caring Primary Physician.
