Dr. James Russavage, MD

Dr russavage and his team did a horrible job on my partners amputation skin graft, it looks like a bunch of toddlers did it and after a year he developed a wound before he got his first prosthetic which healed but a few months later he got a new one which will not heal and it's getting worse. His dr even feels they could have done a better job and has heard complaints from this same provider which is sad, now we are told my partner may have yet another infection in the bone but if Russavage would have done a better job things would have been different. I do not recommend him what so ever.

Don’t waste you time. Not helpful, just get the run around about needing this and that before he’ll do anything at all. You pay for PT, appointments and to meet his requirements. Then you turn right back and have to do it all over again. This office is a joke!

I write this on the 1 yr ann. of my injury, Steel Mill accident- 18,000 lbs of steel rolled up my leg, Open fracture of tibia/fib, significant soft tissue loss, crush injury, had 8 surgeries in 3 wks, requiring a "Skin Flap" (11 hr surgery headed by Dr R), a muscle taken from thigh, artery sewn into lower leg, extensive microvascular surgery, high risk for "not taking", leeches were used a week +, Never got an infection under Trauma Team headed by Dr Tarkin & Dr R. Bone Graft surgery in Nov, Dr R re-opened the Skin Flap, I was walking before the Bone Graft & I am walking now, I have "Drop foot "due to the crushing, I use a brace & a cane when out & about. Deeply indebted w Gratitude for Dr T & Dr R, I & wife especially looked forward to visits with Dr R, LOVED his bedside manner, witty, very personable always laughed during our appts, he almost became a Dentist, we think he'd made a fine Comedian! but Truly thankful he was on my Trauma Team, his fine work saved my leg !

I absolutely loved my first visit with Dr. Russavage! He was extremely professional, patient, & kind towards me. This man clearly loves to help people and he loves what he does. I appreciate how he explained all of my treatment options and gave me hope for my healing. I highly recommend Dr. Russavage for a good, honest, & thorough skin/treatment consultation. You will be very pleased with his services!

Dr. Russavage was very nice and easy to talk to. The problem is with his office/insurance manager Lana. She was very condescending and almost treated me as a joke. She said the opposite of what the Dr. And PA told me and basically said they didn't know what they were talking about. I was on a time frame to go back to work and she kept me at Bay not helping with dates at all, even though the Dr. said it wouldn't be a problem. All around stressful experience and wasted my time. Dr. Russavage better look into how his patients are treated outside of the exam room. I went somewhere else.

I would recommend this doctor. He did a skin graft and bone flap on my left leg . He is very friendly and caring . I owe him a lot for helping me.

My whole experience with my visit was great.

Dr. Russavage took care of a close family member when cancer was discovered. The surgery and recovery was extensive. I saw not only the extreme talent of this man in major reconstructive surgery, but an amazing wonderful compassion. He cares. He's brilliant. He's a genuine,
