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.

Excellent compassionate care
Dr Russom took care of my son in The ER when he was near suicidal from withdrawing from substances. She went above an beyond, including personally arranging a detox bed and even helping to locate his personal belongings which the hospital had lost. As a physician myself, I recognize above sbd beyond care when I see it.

Judgmental and patronizing
I unfortunately was seen by Dr. Elsa Russom for an emergency visit and am still shocked at the way she treated me. She told me she was doing me a "special favor" by prescribing me the medication I needed while pushing me to take a medication I had a bad reaction to in the past. She also tried to push me into inpatient psychiatric when hospitalization was clearly not necessary. Stay away from her if you can.
