Russell Holder, PA-C

Russell Holder, PA-C, specializes in family medicine. His professional areas of interest include health maintenance, pediatrics, asthma, mental health, weight loss and type 2 diabetes. Russell’s love for science, the human body and helping others is what inspired him to pursue a career in medicine. “I love seeing people of all ages and helping them through the many different stages of life and health, from young kids to elderly,” he said. “I enjoy forming relationships with patients and families and building that relationship and trust over many years to help benefit the health of the patient.” When it comes to his patients, Russell’s care goes beyond the office walls. “I love to hear about what patients have going on in their lives whether that be family or work news, vacation plans, school or sports updates,” he said. Russell said he likes to build relationships with his patients by, “…being honest, relaxed, hopefully funny and giving the person a share of the decision-making …process to help take control of their own health.” He understands that everyone has different health goals and priorities. No matter if they are short or long-term, he wants to help each person achieve their goals and live the most healthy and happy life possible. Outside of working at the clinic, Russell enjoys playing tennis, watching Oklahoma State college sports and spending time with his wife and family.
