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.

Dr Russo is outstanding. He is a, brilliant, articulate, patient, open minded, and a great listener. I immediately changed from Hoag to Scripps once I experienced a radical upgrade in quality and professionalism. Dr Russo does not treat his patients like a number in a factory.He is probing and thoughtful in decionmaking processes. I sleep much better at night knowing I am under his care. His background accomplishments speak for themselves. Also just a straight up guy. No BS. He will talk with you straight up, unlike several other specialists.

I went to Dr. Russo because I had a flutter in the area of my heart. He has the patience of Job. I have had many doctors over the years.. I am 74 and have never hestitated to see the doctor, so this isn't my first time at the rodeo. I would highly recommend Dr. Russo as he is not only an MD but a PhD as well. I trust him completely.
