Feel like I'm in good hands with Dr. Russell. He thoroughly explained the procedure in great detail. Was very pleasant and professional. Could tell he is a highly skilled Dr. Took his time; never seemed rushed and answered all my questions. Very glad I was referred to him.

This doctor is very good kind and caring. This was an outlier experience with him. He's usually just the opposite but for this visit he was very short and curt. I was prescribed to medication but I was not informed how to administer it to myself; it was a very bad experience so bad that I ended up denying the medication. I'm not sure if I need it.
