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.

I was there to have a six month checkup and review bloodwork. Dr. Russo was very Thorough in explaining what I needed to do to get my potassium levels back up and he discussed my thyroid level as well. I have a follow up appointment with my metabolic group to address this. He answered all of my questions and didn’t rush me. I felt very good about my visit and I felt like he really cared. He is always there when my husband and I need him.

Dr Russo was great unfortunately he ordered a stress test for me at Hendersonville hospital and when I got there the hospital stuck me in a registration room designed for 15 people with 41 people in there. A lot of people coughing and I didn’t feel comfortable staying in there during the Coronavirus episode. So I left.
