I believe I better off before the surgery than afterwards. I thought he did not listen to me, nor do I think he answered my questions

Dr. Russell had worked with me for several years on my clubbed arm. He was always very kind & explained everything, even to me as a child. My treatment was finished before high school. Since then I've learned to play guitar very well (even without a wrist or elbow!) & have no problems being an active (& a very good) video gamer, which requires precision & timing via my usable fingers. I can't thank Dr. Russell enough for his efforts & attention to my quality of life. I'm very successful in every facet of my life thanks to him.

Dr.Russell performed three operations on me.......he has a calm mannerism, superb technical skills, no infections post-op, and pays attention to details in order to get a 'perfect' outcome from the operative procedure.

Dr. Russell is without a doubt the best plastic surgeon in town. I would avoid the SIU plastic surgery department as they have very poor bedside manner.
