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.

The only oral surgeon I’ll go to!
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Russell and her team. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt completely at ease. The staff was welcoming, professional, and attentive, ensuring that I was comfortable and well-informed every step of the way.Dr. Russell is truly exceptional. Her expertise and precision were evident from the initial consultation to the extractions. They took the time to explain the procedure in detail via video and literature given, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. I felt completely confident knowing I was in such skilled hands.The procedure itself was smooth and virtually painless, thanks to Dr. Russell and her assistant’s incredible skills and gentle approach. Their attention to detail and commitment to patient comfort made a huge difference. Following the procedure, I experienced minimal discomfort — a testament to the quality of care I received.

Unprofessional
Dr. Russell has a horrible beside manner. She was rude, dismissive and condescending. Made me feel so uncomfortable I couldn’t finish my procedure.

Don't waste your time if looking for real dentis
'Dentist' Sharon was rude and unsympathetic. Had a poor attitude and demeaner. Seemed to not give a crap about people in general. Not at all knowledgeable when it comes to sedation of a patient with other health conditions or problems. Seemed snotty and have a don't give crap attitude and no compassion. Don't waste your time if you actually want a real dentist! See you then. Was the last words she barked at me. unprofessional crooks. and it isn't harmful if it is the honest truth!

Never again!!!
After the consultation Dr. Russell wanted to immediately remove my daughters wisdom tooth without and break down of the bill. I said first k would like to see what the ins covers she said “oh you got those questions” and walked out of my daughters room as if we need to put our money right on the table or else. My daughter had one wisdom tooth remove Dr. Russell left out the room and came back and put on the same gloves without sanitizing her hands this is a cross contamination issue and can give someone a stomach bug. Cleanliness was “0” out of 10. Rushing services and over booking is not for our family we will not recommend and we will not return. These reviews will go on every website I can find. People deserve better than this…

I was so impressed by the quick appointment and the treatment I got. Everyone was so kind, professional and very thorough. I can’t say enough about the experience and the nice people in that office. Dr. Russell was patient, gentle and thorough. Highly recommend. I would definitely go back if ever needed. Very clean environment.

Never Again
I will always remember that this office had a customer in every space. And that concerned me and disturbed me because this was at the height of covid. Dr. Russell kept me waiting so long that I just got up and left. I considered myself to be a pretty patient person, but even we have our limits. Of course, she sent me a bill, and I never saw an itemized list. What could she have listed? The only thing that happened was her assistants took X-rays. When she sent me the bill, I tried to explain why I should not owe her. But try to get her husband (billing) on the phone. I never did, and I bet I tried 20 times. I would say my evaluation of the experience and my evaluation of her husband running the billing office is that they are UNPROFESSIONAL. I am offering this one star because that's as low as the system will let you go. I will not go back.

Wisdom tooth extraction
Dr. Russell and her staff were awesome. Everyone, from the front desk, technicians to Dr. Russell her self ensured I was comfortable prior to my procedure. The atmosphere was welcoming, cozy and efficient. I definitely will return if I need another oral extraction for sure.

She performed a biopsy on my tongue to remove a white spot. She explained what she was going to do and that made me feel very comfortable, because I was extremely nervous. Dr. Russell and her staff were friendly and provided great service. I would recommend her to others.

Wisdom teeth removal

Billing for In-network is incorrect.
The actual extraction was fine no issues there. Do not trust the billing department. She is in-network with my insurance but when I told them that they were using the wrong codes for my insurance they stated they were using the codes they were supposed to. Charged me over 1k for an extraction that should have cost no more than $500. Now having to go through appeals with insurance. DO NOT TRUST THEIR BILLING, Check your Explanation of Benefits immediately. If they try to charge you ahead of the services make sure that it is correct or that you will be reimbursed.

I had a full an implant procedure performed by Doc Russell, which included extraction I have to say from day one the whole staff was so friendly and professional that made me feel at ease, Doc Russell Bed Side Manner's was truly remarkable she was always concern if you were experience any discomfort or pain and talk to you though out the procedure. I was so surprise that it went as smooth as it did. I loved the fact she always call you the next day to see how you are doing and made sure you where on the right track to recovery, Thank you to everyone who played a role in getting me through my surgery.

The absolute best dental appts I've had in my life. Dr Russell was knowledgeable, great communication skills, and professional. I was terrified in getting my wisdom tooth out. The experience was quick, painless and minimal bleeding. I will definitely return as well as recommend her. Adding, her team was amazing also.

Dr. Russel and her staff were great! I needed to have a wisdom tooth extracted and they walked me through every step of the process to set my mind at ease about the procedure. From the consultation to the surgery itself, the service and information that Dr. Russel provided was top notch. I was especially grateful for the instructions she gave me prior to the surgery that helped me prepare for the recovery period after having the tooth removed. I'm very pleased with the overall experience!
