Worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. Dismissive, insulting, and used crude language about my body. Thank goodness I have found a great cardiologist.

Dr. Russo may have medical knowledge, but it's very hard to tell... Given his dismissive, rude, and mpatient manner with patients. I would not recommend him at all and I will never return to him.

Russo has delusions of grandeur and an abundance of incompetence. His diagnostic abilities are subpar and his treatment plans inevitably fail. My advice is to refrain from having him as your medical provider and find someone who actually knows their field. He needs to retire and take up space.

Impatient and semi-angry man. I just hope he knows his specialty.

Russo is not a good Doctor, he is cold, uncaring and heartless, I have never met anyone who is a doctor that has the zero personality he does. Russo one day will meet his match when he is ill and gets the hate back at him like he gives his patients. no one gets away with hate.

This is not a professional, in fact, he's not a doctor. Rude, careless, impatient, zero personality, unknowledgeable and uncaring. He is a big chooch with delusions of grandure. A real quack. Do not trust his medical care. Find someone qualified. There are some real docs out there. Russo is definitely not one of them.

Dr Russo has been my cardiologist for 10 years now and has excellent bedside manners, listens to his patients and never ruches out of the examining room. Knowledgeable and explains everything he does in detail.

Dr. Russo saved my life 15 years ago because he listened to me and didn't dismiss my symptoms as had others because he knew women presented differently. He has followed me all these years and kept me in good health. I love Dr. Russo!
