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.

Two-faced, rude, untrustworthy.
Worked with this man for a month, 3 years ago as a student. The man’s bedside manner is incongruent with his professional behavior. Very friendly and professional with patients but a bully behind closed doors. Not sure if you’re aware of the law recent passed in Colorado that says you cannot perform pelvic exams on unconscious women under anesthesia without prior consent, but this guy was one of the main culprits for sure. Would never trust anyone in my family with this man. Disgusting

Approachable and undestanding
Dr. Russell has been my OBGYN for 13 years. He is great. I am always put a ease by him. I am grateful to have found him years ago. He is easy to talk to and listens to all of my needs. He treats me with dignity and respect every time! Best OBGYN I have ever had.

Condescending Liar
Dr. Russell is condescending. He does not listen to his patients. He thinks birth preferences/plans aren’t necessary (he will just do what HE wants). He straight up lied to me about the availability of nitrous oxide being available for pain management and then pretended that I hadn’t brought it up in office and sent a document about it. Ladies do yourself a favor and DO NOT use this provider.

Dr. Russell has taken care of me during my recovery from hysterectomy surgery due to endometrial cancer stage 1. We caught it early so I didn't have to go through chemo. I was most fortunate. For two years Dr. Russell has taken care of my follow-up appointments. I'm two years cancer free. Dr. Russell always listens, invites questions and makes you feel comfortable. He never makes you feel rushed. Most important.

Dr. Russell has always been extremely kind and compassionate, along with a great sense of humor, since I began seeing him several years ago. He has seen me through some tough problems and procedures. His office is faith based and has a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. I began taking my teen daughter to him, as well, when she began having issues. I wouldn't want her to go anywhere else.

Dr. Russell was compassionate and direct. He has the ability to discuss difficult/emotional topics with respect and kindness. After a very long time of being passed off by other providers, he reviewed my medical history and came up with a plan for me and my husband. We left my appointment feeling like we had a plan and that somebody. finally got what we were going through. I am grateful to have a doctor who is intelligent and has amazing bedside manner. I am very thankful.

Best gyn I've ever seen. Very responsive and caring. He is a great listener and doesn't jump to surgery as often as most! Highly recommend! Stacey

Dr. Russell assisted my Gyn Oncologist, Dr. Dirk Pikaart, with my surgery that showed that I had ovarian cancer. I was diagnosed as having stage 3B ovarian cancer in February 2010. He also covered for Dr. Pikaart during morning hospital rounds on several occasions. I have since been to see Dr. Russell for another condition. His manner is very courteous and he is very knowledgeable in his practice of female related health issues. I trust him completely and I am grateful to him.

Dr. Russell was the doctor on-call for my doctor. I had never met him before, but he immediately made me feel comfortable in his care for me. I had a complicated labor and delivery, and I never once doubted his care or decisions. He did an excellent job delivering my daughter, and I appreciated his care!

Dr. Russell is a very condescending man. I'm a younger woman who, at the time of my appointment, was engaged and couldn't conceive. Dr. Russell told me I should be married before having kids, then proceeded to give me an exam for extreme pelvic pain before deciding, without the help of an ultrasound or surgery, that I was fine and I needed physical and psychotherapy. He also gave me no pain medication for my excruciating pelvic pain. I ended up needed surgery in the end.

I saw Dr. Russell for complications in my pregnancy and the delivery of my daughter. I was initially seeing a midwife, but I had several complications and had to transfer my care to a physician. Not knowing who to see, I asked my specialist for referrals. Dr. Russell was the recommendation, and it's easy to see why! He did everything he could to make my birth experience what I wanted I it be. He was also able to keep me from having to have a C-section! I highly recommend Dr. Russell.
