My first experience with Dr. Russo is when he put a stent in my heart. That experience when very well and he saved my life. From that time on I've seen Doctor Russo at his Gallatin office. I have found him to be a good listener. Not being in the medical field Doctor Russo talks in terms that I can understand. He's not quick to alway change meds, but has a plan for my health and it's been working very well. I would recommend Doctor Russo to anyone looking for a great heart Doctor.

Dr. Russo has been my Cardio Dr since 2009. Never ceased to make my appointments always Informing and noted care. When the time came for Me to under go an Ablaison Dr. Chris Jones was Introduced to my case. Could not have been in better hands. Cannot say enough about both of my Dr.'s. They know me when I call Atrial Fib-the ATF. (A glass of wine is not always what seems) lol Words can not express how I feel about Dr. Russo and Dr. Chris Jones. They r amazing and so glad they have been apart of my life. A good life at that! ð???
