Dr. Russell informed me of some surgical options that I wasn't aware of.

Dr. Russell's running late, but once he came in he addressed all my concerns thoroughly and efficiently.

Dr. Russell is my favorite doctor! He has the BEST bedside manner with patients! It's not always been physically the most comfortable appointment for me because my sinuses are an inflammation mess! But he takes all the time I need to feel comfortable and to understand treatment! He is pure JOY and so is his staff!
