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.

Great Doctor!
Dr Russell has been my doctor for about 9 years. He is very thorough, knowledgeable and always explains in a way that I am able to understand. He listens to my concerns and is very responsive.

Both of my parents see Dr. Russell every 6 months. He explains in detail their lab work etc. He answers questions that are asked. Sometimes we wait past our appointment time to see him but every Doctor office is that way. If not they don't have many patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Russell.

Dr. Russell is an excellent physician who really knows his stuff. He has a dry sense of humor and will tell it like it is. We really trust his judgment.

Dr. Russell did not seem to care about my father's deteriorating health and pushed him off on another specialist. He missed a critical diagnosis with my mother. His nurse was condescending and rude to my elderly parents. There is absolutely no follow-up from this office after lab work or other testing.

I was very disappointed with this doctor. He came across as arrogant, not really listening to me, blunt, and somewhat rude. He seemed more interested in hearing himself talk then in listening and truly understanding. I left feeling worse than when I had arrived - literally.

I cannot begin to describe how lucky my wife Cathy and I are to have Doctor Doug Russel for our primary care. He cares about patients more than any doctor I have seen in my 63 years. He is very thorough. He listens to patients. He explains everything in detail. He found my cancer very early and refers us to only the best specialists. His follow up is second to none. He pursues a health problem to its core and wants to heal you.
