• Doctor russell is a very caring physician, but I feel she relies too heavily on prescription drugs rather than try to figure out why something's going on, She wants to prescribe something to control it

• Dr. Russell was extremely thorough and exhibited a clear understanding of my condition and how it may have adverse effects on vaccinations needed for an upcoming trip to India. She very thoughtfully followed through with the MGH infectious disease experts to receive further insight, and I subsequently received a very detailed report that will guide me in the next steps needed. I am extremely appreciative of her extra efforts and commitment to making sure I received the most updated information and care. Thank you!

• The provider was excellent. She was very prepared with knowledge of my health background. She engaged me in a discussion that allowed plenty of opportunity for me to explain my concerns and ask questions. She has great communication skills and was very supportive and understanding about my medical needs at this time in my life. Im 82, in generally good heath but have had some unanticipated heath challenges and surprises in the last year. It was a relief to discuss my heath needs with someone who is aware of the challenges that aging can present and engage you with tespect in ways to address them. She met me where I was as a patient and I felt very supported.
