Review for Dr. Grzesik
Dr. Russell was very thorough in his examination, as well as helpful with suggestions, kind and understanding. He gave me time to express my concerns and answered them professionally. I feel very confident in his abilities and am thankful for the skill with which he performed my operation.

Review for Dr. Russell
What was to be a routine scope with 6-8 week recovery is going on 8 months. He's too good to see you after the surgery. You get his PA. My initial appointment with him he complained about spending $67K to be board certified. He's what wrong with medicine. I wouldn't let him cut anything.
