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.

I went to several doctors before Dr. Russell and received little to no help. Dr. Russell listens to me and was able to get at the root of the problem and help me build a life-style that heals the problem not just masks it with medication. The visits are a tad pricey but care is worth every penny!

she is nice. however i was unhappy with my HRT, going from way too low (.2) to way too much (1.5) estrogen seemed like she did not know how to balance it over time. I was super unhappy with those results. If you go by how you feel,--you feel fine --until you realize all that extra growth and swelling was unnecessary. Also i think the T3 should have been broken up instead of a large dose once a day.

I am no longer a patient of Dr. Russell's due to the fact she does not take Medicare. However, I was a patient for twenty-seven years and found Dr. Russell to be an excellent doctor in every way. Yes, she is more expensive than your run-of-the-mill doctors but worth every penny. I found Dr. Russell and her staff to be very caring and considerate. I so miss being in Dr. Russell's care. Wait until you experience Medicare and the lack of care, consideration and communication that is offered. Thank you Dr. Russell and staff for being so great!

Unfortunately this physician did not seem to be interested in helping me. Ordered profound number of tests, sold me numerous supplements. Didn’t listen. Didn’t really have any suggestions on what to do for me after all that expense. Would not recommend. Will not be back.Extremely expensive.

Dr. Russell does seem to care about her patients, which is a refreshing change compared to other doctors. That being said, the whole organization seems unprofessional and disorganized. I sent them my medical records which they lost so I had to send them again, then they charged me $170 for a 30 minute phone consult without even notifying me in any way that there was a charge. If you're fine with giant surprise bills for a phone call with a nurse, not even a doctor, I guess this place is fine.
