Dr. Bruce Lynn Russell, MD

I just read the other reviews. I disagree with the low ones. Dr. Russel's off isnt an emergency room, it is a general oractice that we are fortunate to have on the Island. I am a patient and his office fit me in for apointments... which is pretty good considering there are tons of winter Texans here going to him.

We love this edical practice. They always make time for you and provide excellent provider services. The office staff is also attentive and professional.

Dr. Russell is so supportive in my care. His experience and knowledge are both a great combination in helping me stay healthy. He has been my doctor for three years.

Spends the entire appointment time on his laptop. I gave this doctor 2 years and not once did he ever perform even a simple physical exam. The entire office seems to think they are doing you a favor by allowing you to be in the office.

Staff stinks. Doctor never lifts his nose from his computer. Oh yeah, they want their money before you sit down to wait for over an hour.

Children do not get sick when it is convenient for their parents or physicians. On that note, while on our holiday weekend, my daughter had a 102 fever, went to Dr. Russell's office. She saw how sick my child looked and said, sorry, we don't have room, and that there were two walk-in medical centers on Padre Island. NICE!!!! Who does that? So, the only way you get service is by having an appointment? Next time I'll plan my families illness. What happened to Doctors staying a little later or planning for ill patients.

Wow!. Glad I didn't read these reviews prior to our first visit with Dr. Russell. Now I can have my own opinion. Must have been an imposter at his office when the other folks went. Dr. Russell, his assistant, his wife, his lab have always been courteous and helpful when my family members have gone. His front desk receptionist has never been rude with us, however, I have noticed that she takes care of personal business and/or phone business, other duties while someone is standing there with no offer of acknowledgement. We find Dr. Russell to be patient and knowledgeable in many areas.

Not very friendly staff. According to them seldomly take walk ins. Then why advertise new patients welcome. If when someone walks in to be seen they are turned away and sent else where and told by the clerk that Dr has been seeing patients that are back to back and still has two more patients to go. Especially, when a parent is taking in a sick child, and it's not even 5pm. No compassionate what so ever!

I went in for a physical and set of blood labs; I was seen by his wife who is a NP, and they both consult their laptops for everything. neither will g ...

DO NOT GO TO THIS Dr. My step son was stung by a stingray while we were on vacation. The only Dr. On the island so he had to go here. They treated his sting with 3 warm iodine baths and let him go. They did not prescribe any antibiotics to him. After returning home my step son was experiencing pain and fever in the effected leg. Took him to an ER in our hometown, he is now admitted into the hospital on IV antibiotics. You would think being a Dr in a beach town you would know how to treat injuries like the one my step son sustained. Needless to say, we will never ever go here if need be!!!
