Dr. Richard Russell reminds me of the doctor I grew up going to, Dr. Reynolds of Clinton, MS. Dr. Russell has such a good bed-side-manner and always makes you feel like you are his only patient; never rushes you. He has the highest quality of care available. I thought doctors like this were a thing of the past, but Dr. Richard Russell is an old fashion doctor that is very up-to-date on all medical treatment. If you are wondering about the wait time; it never takes me over five (5) or ten (10) minutes to get in. (Unheard of, I know) :)

I have been seeing Dr Russell many, many years. He is a very highly rated internist and I would never change. His age range of patients is very impressive. His staff has been outstanding and mostly concerned with helping patients. All these attributes indicate that Dr Russell sets the tone. Everyone seems to love working for him.

His staff is courteous and professional, as is he. I am old and not in awe of doctors but I have no problem recommending Dr. Russell's office.
