I feel that I had the best doctor I could have possibly had in Dr. Russell. When I was diagnosed with melanoma, she explained to me and my family exactly what the surgery entailed and patiently answered all our questions. Her skill as a surgeon is second to none. When I thank God for my health, I also thank Dr. Russell.
