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.

Very rude. Doesn't listen to vital information. Doesn't thoroughly check patients history or charts. Talks over patient. Arrogant. I gave him 2 stars because he did at least monitor me before releasing me, but other than that he deserves 1 star. Don't recommend. I asked for his opinion on something in my chart and he never came back in to discuss it with me and made his nurse do it.

Bedside manner is terrible. Not open to accepting vital information from patients. Argumentative. Has an arrogant attitude. Both his patients and he as a physician would benefit from doing more listening and making less assumptions.

Dr. Russell was accusatory, argumentative and extremely rude and unprofessional. He neglected to listen to my concerns or ask about my previous/ongoing health conditions.
