5.0 star star star star starDr Russell was thorough, competent and empathetic. I feel that she correctly diagnosed and treated my symptoms. I also felt that she cared about my health. She is the kind of doctor I moved to the Chicago area to be my healthcare provider.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Russell was wonderful. She knew all about my medical history and spent a lot of time asking questions and examining my eyes. I felt very comfortable in her care. I’m really happy she’s part of my team of doctors.

4.0 star star star star star_borderThis was my first interaction (prior Dr.[ ] patient) and it didn’t seem like she had a good handle on my charts or prior history. Her bedside manner could use work as well. I’m going another time in December to see if it was just an off day, otherwise I’ll be looking for a new Opthalmologist.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Russell has big shoes to fill taking Dr. [ ]’s place since his retirement. She will have no difficulty in accomplishing that. She quickly establishes rapport and is very thorough in her examination. After her exam, she clearly explains the results and utilizes the images to clearly illustrate the findings.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
