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.

My wife went to this guy for a ‘check-up’. She’s self-pay, no insurance. We got notified later that she could drop dead ‘any minute’, and she needs to go to Chtistus hospital‘immediately,. They claimed her potassium was over 8, go to Christus NOW! Naturally, I rushed her there, and after being seen by no less than 4 med staff, including a PA, the doctor finally came in with the ‘news’ - her labs were perfectly normal, there was never any danger, and that he sees this ‘all the time’ - Russel’s labs were misread. The bills totalled almost $5,000. Needless panic, needless trip to Corpus, needless $5K debt. Thank you Bruce. Awesome job, guy.

Dr. Russell is an excellent diagnostician. He takes his time and listens to his patients problems. He will refer you to a specialist if needed. He is proactive but will not recommend unneeded tests or actions
