Verified patient
Awful! I was put on too high of a dose of medications that caused side effects. Instead of doing lab work and telling me to stop the meds. She wanted to rack up bills with ultrasounds and more testing. She demanded seeing me in person like that was going to fix it. Really? This was during Covid and my physical appearance has nothing to do with side effects from meds. I stopped the meds and side effects went away immediately. Poor decisions were made and I will never go back!

The front desk staff was friendly and efficient, and I appreciate that I was seen within 30 minutes of my appointment time. Dr. Russell was friendly, took time to ask about my medical history (this was a first appointment with her), and was able to make recommendations. Also, my Rx was filled before I even got home, so I appreciate the speed with which they took care of the details.
Appointment seemed a little rushed.
Dr Russell was amazing! It’s been years since I’ve had a doctor that really took the time to listen to my concerns and make a plan with me that I felt comfortable with. Having dealt with this painful condition since I was teenager has been the most difficult and frustrating thing ever, and Dr Russell and staff made me feel welcomed and heard for the first time in years. Thank you!
Verified patient
I felt that Dr. Russell really listened to my concerns and she thoroughly explained what next steps should be. I did not feel rushed and she answered all of my questions. The front desk person, the nurse and the phlebotomist were wonderful also.
Verified patient
Inquired about hormone replacement therapy. She answered all of my questions and I left there very informed about the process and potential healing. Very convenient having the blood draw station in the office and they were patient with my new insurance.
Verified patient
First time at this practice and felt like I was heard and there's a course of action. Much appreciated after being bounced around.
Extremely friendly, knowledgable and professional. She really ensures you have your questions answered to your satisfaction without feeling rushed and discussed options pertaining to each. All staff members were friendly and professional. Wait time upon check-in was nominal, waited about 25 minutes in the room after vitals were performed.

First of all, it's so convenient to be able to book appointments online. It was great to be able to fill out all the paperwork on my computer and send it electronically. When I arrived at the office, the office staff was so nice! They took me back for my appointment right away! Dr. Russell came in right away as well! I loved everything about her! She is really wonderful!! I found my new doctor and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Dr. Russell is exceptional!!! I have been seeing her for about 14 years and I would recommend her to anyone. She delivered both of my children and made the whole process smooth and I had a great experience. Once my daughter is of age I will be taking her to see Dr. Russell too. Actually, my 3 sisters and several of my nieces see her too. Thank you Dr. Russell for everything you do!!!
She was very kind and informative!
Great doctor and wonderful staff.
LOVE Dr. Russell. Such warm care and genuine interest in my health. Unfortunately, this same feeling is not delivered at the front desk (the first impression), where it feels cool, very process-y, and from the point of view of the staff member ("I need your..." "check this to make sure accuracy..."), instead of from a service perspective, from the point of view of the patient and her needs. Also, GYN is so personal, but there is nothing private about the front desk. When you stand at the front desk, you are only a few feet from other waiting patients, and they can hear everything. The front desk person asks loudly "can you give a urine sample" and gives directions to the restroom in earshot of everyone else. And, when I arrived no one greeted me at first. I came to understand that one woman was training another, but if you are at the front desk, your patients expect to be acknowledged by you when walking in. Perhaps training can occur outside the view of the patients. If not for Dr. Russell being so FANTASTIC, I would question whether or not I would return.
I have been a patient of Dr. Russell for over 20 years. I appreciate the care and concern she has for me. She always has time to discuss my health concerns.
