Dr. Rebecca Russell, MD

This is definitely an OB I’ve heard before that was insensitive to her patients and I experienced it first hand now. She was interrupting me and was being very negative. I did not feel heard nor supported by her as a provider. Especially nearing the end of my pregnancy, not the kind of care that was helpful at all. 0/10 would not recommend.

One of the worst doctor visits I ever had. She was rude the second she came through the door already lecturing me about me not being able to give a urine sample and even saying “ I don’t know any pregnant woman who can’t pee.” Then she discussed my weight and fat shaming me. While I’m just sitting there thinking about how I shouldn’t be losing any weight being pregnant and also thinking how I’ll lose all the baby weight after the baby comes. She just was very rude the whole time. After my appointment, she left a note for the office that I shouldn’t see any midwives ( didn’t know she had a say in that thought it was my decision) I just felt discriminated and fat shamed the whole time. Bad experience with her. I wouldn’t recommend her to anyone.

She is not an endometriosis specialist & doesn’t fully understand how debilitating this disease is. She didn’t feel a laparoscopic procedure was needed to diagnose me & stated my uterus wasn’t fixed so she felt if I did have endo,it wasn’t that bad. A lap is the only way to accurately diagnose endo. I sought treatment elsewhere due to extreme pain and what appeared to be partially instructed bowels. I learned my bowels were fused to my uterus and there was a large endometrial cyst there also. I needed a bowel resection & lost my fallopian tubes due to endo damage. My ovaries were so engulfed in adhesions that they weren’t even visible & were attached to my abdominal wall, causing constant pain. My appendix was scarred. I am disappointed she would not to listen to me and dismissed my symptoms & pain. A polyp she did diagnose & said wasn’t responsible for my pain was also removed from my uterus by another doc. I have had a drastic improvement in my pain. My bowel issues are 90% better.
