Dr. Russo has been my primary care physician for over four years and I couldn't imagine being under the care of another doctor. Excellent service not excluding his personal nurse Toni and the rest of the staff!

I was with him for a couple of years. He was excellent in all ways. I left only because I changed insurance.

Ease of appointment has to do with institution and not the Dr. Russo. He has been my Dr. for many years.

Dr. Russo is the best doctor out of many I've seen. I've been seeing him for over five years. He thoroughly explains everything I need to know about my conditions and treatment options, and often discusses some of the back-stories behind the treatment's development.He has an excellent, gentle sense of humor, and interacts naturally and pleasantly as my peer, rather than my superior. All this, and he is also professional and efficient in his performing his tasks.
