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.

Great
I love the fact that she knows her business. And she is blunt and straight forward. I am too. I don't want a doctor that I tell what to do. I want one who tells me what's true. Whether I like it or not Yes, she tells the truth. Thank you Dr RussoGod bless you. Joanne Binkley

Horrible!
Made my 23 year old daughter cry after the appointment. Horribly rude and wouldn't listen, kept interrupting. What a TERRIBLE provider and bedside manner.

I went to Dr. Russo for help with the way I was feeling - she told me the odds of me having something wrong with my thyroid or hormones was highly unlikely. I was literally in tears trying to get her to understand. She finally agreed she would order some test. I decided not to let her be my doctor and find one that would want to help. I finally found another doctor who would listen. Turned out I had hashimotos and thyroid cancer that had already metastasized into 6 lymph nodes!!!

Well, where do I start? At first, I thought she would help me, but found she only heard what she wanted. Trying to get the correct testing for my issues, was like pulling teeth. Had to scream and holler for the test. Never solved my problem, never wanted to find the root cause of my problems. Seemed she was baffled at my test results! Never wanted more answers. That's why I walked!
