I have been followed by Dr. Russell for several years post surgical resection of a skull base cancer. He is always very personable and listens to my concerns. He asks great questions as we discuss my progress and concerns.

I really like Dr. Russell. He has found treatments for me when other doctors were stymied. Example: He knew how to help with COVID cough that was plaguing me a few years ago. Very knowledgeable and personable.
