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.

Caring Practice
Dr. Russo listens to my concerns, answers my questions, is very friendly and understands what I am going through. And it doesn't take forever to get an appointment!

My best doctor I have ever had
I go in and out of consciousness from menstrual cramps, dry heave for 2-3 hours straight, tremble, have called 911 scared because the pain wasn’t easing 1.5hrs into an 800ib and have had doctors tell me I’m “creating pain by thinking about it” which could not cause more trauma. Lot of “only option is more birth control” appts. I had a fertility test I wanted done to flush my Fallopian tubes hoping it’d help w the cramps, and she was open to it but said we have to first do an ultrasound, then another test, and I literally sobbed as I undressed before the 1st procedure at how patient, compassionate and kind she and her staff were. It began to heal grief I didn’t even realize I was holding. She is a busy woman, and direct and not just there to chat, but is so kind, has a super pure intentioned energy which I’m very sensitive to and most importantly is extremely intelligent knowledgeable and logical/willing to hear me and respond w insight. I ADORE her. Have 3 women switching to her so far

Impossible to get a hold of when you need her
I had an ectopic pregnancy in the past so I was considered a high risk patient when it came to pregnancy. Dr. Russo assured me she would make sure I get an ultrasound as soon as I was pregnant. However, she was impossible to get a hold of and they would not schedule me before 10 weeks. I had to keep calling back and they would not let me speak to her, and she does not reply to messages. Eventually my pcp messaged her and all of a sudden Dr. Russo replied to her and scheduled an ultrasound the same day. Then during my pregnancy I started bleeding. I called and messaged Dr. Russo but she never responded. Eventually another Dr from her practice messaged me and was much more attentive. I ended up having a miscarriage. Even then, Dr. Russo did nit reach out or check to see how I was doing. Dr. Russo is incredibly inattentive and impersonal. If you want a doctor who listens and truly cares, find another doctor.

terrible communication with patients, always in a hurry, all she does is repeating what the nurse just told you, in less than 5 minutes, and leaves, unless you grab her to ask a question or something.

Dr. Russo made me feel very at ease with my first pregnancy. She listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions in a way that put your mind at ease. There was no problem to big or small that she didn't handle in a calm and professional way. She also returned calls in a timely manner. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Russo is a doctor that I would highly recommend. She listens to all of your concerns big and small. She problem solves with you and really explains everything. She is always cautious and looks into everything. She has great intuition and really makes you feel as though you are in good hands. She knows her stuff and is great at probing for all the right answers.
