He is the best asthma and allergy doctor ever. He is sweet as can be, and he really, truly cares. I would never go anywhere else.

Dr. Larussa was very understanding and he listened to ALL of my many concerns. I only waited about 10 minutes before being called to the back and he entered the room about 5 minutes after that. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is experiencing allergy related issues, as myself.

I feel Dr. LaRussa is an outstanding doctor and that he literally saved my life 3 years ago while I was hospitalized. He is the most caring, compassionate doctor I have ever had; hands down. I would highly recommend him to anyone. And he really listens to his patients with earnestness.

Dr. Larussa is a vry caring and compassionate doctor with a great personality for children. My 4yr. old twins are seeing him and he is very thorough and easy to understand and talk to. We are very blessed to be able to see him and he is the 1st Dr. after 3 months of illnesses to be getting to the root of the problem.
