Dr. Russo embodies ALL the qualities of a great physician. You can just tell by her kind eyes and demeanor that she is very empathetic and cares about her patients. I've seen quite a few physicians and believe me, I always leave her office feeling empowered, listened to and cared for. Great bedside manner, listens well, makes the correct diagnosis and is very PROACTIVE in my treatment plan. Whenever I message her on MyChart, she response promptly. Dr. Russo takes the time to explain things in simple, easy to understand terms, and follow up where necessary. I never feel rushed or like I didn't matter. I pray that she will stay healthy for many years to come so other patients get to experience what I know to be true. Kudos to you Dr. Russo!
