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.

It took 3 1/2 hours to be seen by Dr Russ. The secretary would get upset when I asked about it, terrible place and very unprofessional

Doctor himself was great. Everything else about the office is terrible. The office manager looks and sounds like a homeless person. They told me to come for blood work on a given day and then they couldn't do it. Next time, they told me they realized they don't take my insurance (Healthnet) for tests. Problem is, they had already done a urine test, and I was stuck paying for it. Then the front-office woman flat-out lied that they never told me they take my insurance.

I tried several times to make an appointment through the application Zack dark. I was canceled once and then I was excepted and went for my appointment, and upon arrival went to the front desk to state my name and I have a appointment, I was given forms for Suboxone use. Suboxone is used for heroin attic's that need it for treatments. I explained that my appointment was for 9 AM for an annual physical, and I told that I do not have an appointment and that the doctor was not there.horrible

All of the staff were wonderfully pleasant and helpful. Dr. Russ was kind and I am looking forward to my next visit with him. He will be helping me with learning how to nourish my body with healthy food and lose weight accordingly.

I have been with this doctor for 4 years I have never met a doctor that truly cares about his patients like he does. The wait time is good but if you have to wait for 15 minutes its only because he really takes the time to talk to his patients to find the root of the problem. I really recommend this doctor. Thank you Dr Russ .......... Laurence
