The doctor was phenomenal. I loved that he spoke directly to my daughter. He explained everything thoroughly and didn't rush. He asked very insightful questions and seemed genuinely interested. Great listener.

We love Dr. Russell as he treats us like we are his one and only patient. He is so smart and good at explaining things. We absolutely trust his treatment plan and evaluations. We have seen him now for 8 years and feel like we are the luckiest family to be in his care!
