Run fast run far! I saw this doctor for a full 5 minutes and in that time he felt he had enough knowledge to submit a letter (requested from my LTD pending insurer) that I had excellent range of motion. Which in turn denied my clain. I have been a long time sufferer of Ankylosing Spondilitis, I had spent 8 days completely bedriden an able to brush my teeth or get to a bathroom without complete help from my family. I was in the recovery faze of my flair when I saw him. I told him If the apt., were a week before There was no way I would have been able to get to the apt. He asked me to turn my head and bend over, this was his accessment which he felt entitled him to forward a letter to Great West Life. I would fear for my health if I were left with him to help with my disease. I would fear for my health if I had to see him even for a hang nail.

I was bedridden for 5 months & was referred to Dr. Russell via an er visit. This man gave my life back to me. He did a head-to-toe assessment the first visit & very quickly got me onto the appropriate course of treatment. He was very thorough in his investigation of the cause & addressed all my concerns along the way. His bedside manner is professional, not overly friendly, which I value in a doctor. Given the hospital he works in & the number of patients he sees, he is sometimes in a rush, but still covers everything necessary in appointments. Overall, I’ve been very happy with him.

I have been seeing Dr. Russell for 20 years. He has been nothing but amazing. He is always understanding and always keeps in mind what your concerns are…I will always recommend him.

Having had gout problems for years, finally got my family doctor to see a specialist. I was able to see Dr. Russel within a week. He explains the problems, and gives options. I am hoping that with another visit things will be getting better for me.

I found he didn’t explain anything to me except to tell me that I had Sjogren’s. I had to ask the questions, and I really didn’t know what questions to ask at the time, as I was unprepared to hear the results of the tests. When he prescribed the medication to me, he did tell me about the side effects. But that was about it. Told me to come back in a year and see him, unless something changed.
