Brian Russ, MD

Worthless visit. He didn’t listen to anything I told him about what treatments worked for me historically, Including those prescribed by his peers in HIS practice. Instead of treating me as an individually, he prescribed the same course of therapy that he “gives all his patients”. Needless to say I am still having issues and now need to seek care with a different provider as I was told by office staff that he has his own way of doing things and doesn’t have to do anymore. As a healthcare provider myself, I can say this is ridiculous. Check out other reviews on Google, Healthgrades, etc and you will read similar stories. Take my advice and find another dermatologist.

I went to Dr Russ for my yearly checkup for skin cancer. He came into the room and shook my hand. He spent no more than 4 minutes with me. I had a couple of other issues and he mentioned these to the nurse who was taking notes. He left the room and said he would see me in a year. I had to go to my PCP to get any help for my health issues.I felt he wasted my time and co-pay.

Very rude

Very unfriendly when asking a question he made me feel as those it was a both to him. No follow up has been done by his office and I am still waiting on biopsy report one week later. No news is good news I guess. I’ll never go back to him.

I will never go back to this doctor and nor should you! I took my daughter out of school for an 11:15 appointment- which this was our 3rd appointment with him so I THOUGHT we had established a nice relationship. We ran into a bit of traffic and arrived at his office 8 minutes late at 11:23- Upon entering a rude receptionist said, "He didn't think you were coming so he left for lunch and won't be back until 1:15!" What - we were 8 minutes late! NO call to my cell phone before he took his 2 hour lunch. He didn't even wait a full 10 minutes!!! No apology - Never go back!!

The doctor very lightly applied nitrogen and had me go through an inconvenient and lengthy routine of using over-the-counter salicylic acid remedies and bandages to remove my warts. Then, he kept having me come back in for check ups at $35/visit. After $105 in copays, not one wart was removed, and one actually got much bigger. I've never had to go through such hassle before. In the past, the dermatologists have zapped it really good with nitrogen, it forms a big blister, and the wart falls off. What was the point of coming to him for this if he was just going to have me use over-the-counter remedies? I ended up having to go to my primary car physician. He zapped those warts good, blisters formed, and in one visit they were gone. Just like experiences I've had in the past. I've been to this doctor regarding my rosacea in the past and returned to him for the wart removal because he seemed to have a very good bedside manner. However, he seemed at times a bit short… during this series of visits. I'm not sure what changed.
