Dr. Russell resolved an issue, that I thought was going to be extremely painful, quickly and relatively painlessly! He and his staff are extremely empathetic, knowledgeable, helpful and have a great sense of humour. Thank you so much!

Dr. Russell is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I had chronic pain in my heels and was limping for 3 years without relief. After having laser shock therapy to my heels I was able to walk 25,000 steps at Disneyland without pain and/or limping.

My wife I have been patients of Dr. Russell's for the past 15 years. He is an exceptional and skilled Podiatrist. What impressed both of us is his willingness to guarantee outcomes and longterm assistance should issues develop as a result of his intervention. His staff is courteous knowledgable and helpful.

It was a pleasure to visit Dr. Russell, and his friendly staff, for treatment of an ingrown toenail. I was impressed with efficiency of the staff, the cleanliness and modern appearance of his office, and Dr. Russell's surgical skill. The offending toenail was treated painlessly at my first appointment, and healing occurred quickly with no discomfort. Good work - good care -Thanks!

This was a good experience. Timely appointment with diagnosis and treatment started the same day. Dr Russell suggested two options for treatment and explained each one and the follow up care. Never waited and staff very pleasant.

Add me to the list of poor experiences. The doctor was rude, abrupt and appeared completely disinterested in me as a patient. After the two minute rushed approintment I was turned over to the assistant to show me what runners to buy. What a joke, I wish I had checked reviews before I booked this waste of my time.
