Dr. Russ showed concern for my problem. Gave an explanation of each step of the exam and made me feel comfortable and assured with his decision. I would recommend him to any of my friends. I have had issues with hemorrhoids for close to 35 to 40 years. Have had many, many procedures and surgeries and never has a Doctor explained in detail like Dr. Russ did. I anticipate good results with my upcoming surgery. I am confident with his ability and knowledge.
