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.

Dr. Russell is the best cosmetic surgeon I have come across. I felt very cared for and safe during my cosmetic facial procedures.

Amazing Plastic Surgeon
I had a huge Lipoma on the neck. Dr Russell made detailed notes of my history. She recommended me to proceed with caution and got my MRI scans to understand the location of the Lipoma (determine if it was malignant). She was very careful during the operation and ensured that she can take out all the fat cells. Post surgery there is only a minor mark that is likely to go away soon. I highly recommend Dr. Russell for plastic surgery.

Dr Russell has the highest integrity and compassion.. she's an incredible human being and I am so grateful for her! She organizes conferences for experts to present to the community in order to educate both laypersons and professionals to prevent chronic illnesses. How she finds time to do this volunteer work in addition to working her paid job will always amaze me. I am in the field of public health education and work as an environmental health scientist and have seen several of Dr Russell's presentations and attended a conference she facilitated in Mountain View as well as having worked with her on policy issues in our respective counties. She has protected the health of millions of people in Santa Clara County by effecting policy change in Integrated Pest Management.

If there were more stars that I could give, I would! without thinking in a blink of a moment. Dr. Russell is a fantastic surgeon who also has a heart. She treats her patients with a high regard, not like a client. I felt I was in good hands from the very first moment I met her. Before and after my surgery Dr. Russell was just a call away from me. She even came to see me on a Mother's Day Sunday just because I was uncomfortable. Her job was also way above my expectations. I certainly recommend h

I adore her! I have been seeing her for over 3 years. She has performed many surgeries on me, including a double mastectomy with reconstruction. She is extremely cautious with recovery, which I love, I have great results every single time!
