Dr. Russ is a lifesaver. He completed 2 major surgeries for me to remove my colon and create my j-pouch due to Ulcerative Colitis. I now have a functioning j-pouch with no complications. Short hospital stay and Dr. Russ made me feel at ease and comfortable the whole time. I am now back doing what I love as a Social Worker thanks to his efforts.
