Dr. Russell was extremely thorough with his explanation of everything surrounding my issue and going over all the different possible options. He took extra time and effort to make sure I fully understood the situation and possible approaches to addressing the issues. I thoroughly enjoyed the time he took to relate everything, and honestly, if I was ever to pursue medicine as a career, I would definitely love to take a few classes from him.

I always work at least an hour to see Dr. Russell when I do see him, it's almost like I am wasting of his time since I'm not doing surgery. I see him for annual visits just to keep up with my ENT care, especially when I need medication.
