Ms. Russell is the absolute best! Excellent bedside manner, extremely professional, experienced and knowledgeable, and most importantly she cares about her patients and their health. I’d give her 10 stars if I could!

Ms. Russell is a consummate professional with a warm, caring personality! She is very knowledgeable and thorough in her assessments. Also, Ms. Russell takes time to patiently listen to concerns and is thoughtful and patient with her explanations and recommendations; I’ve never felt rushed. I would recommend (and have recommended) her to anyone who values a solid Nurse Practitioner!
