Reviews
Recently had a televisit with Dr Russo. Comparing with the other GI doctors that we visited, he is much caring about our situation and asked many questions before offering his opinion and suggestions, instead of a very rushed 5 min conversation. He explained things very clearly and put our mind at ease. I'm very glad that we found Dr Russo as our GI doctor!
I have been meaning to write this review for almost a year now but I just want to thank Dr. Russo for the care he has provided my daughter for the past 6 years! There are no words to adequately express how appreciative and blessed we are to have Dr. Russo as a GI for my daughter. At every appointment, he would make her feel comfortable and always laugh and treated her like one of his own children! He never gave up on her and always went above and beyond in her care. He is truly one of a kind and we are so grateful for him!
Dr. Michael Russo is very well mannered and caring dr. Who take as much interest in your child health as a parent you would do. We came to him from another GI dr for my son and he talked about the medicine and overall picture of his health. His office staff and assistant is awesome too. Always good in responding to my concern and questions. Dr. Russo is so easy to reach out to and he personally respond to your question and concern. I am so grateful that we found him for our son. God bless him for all he does for his patients. I must recommend him 👍
I only saw one other review from a dad so I feel obligated to fill this out. Dr. Russo is a lifetime doctor. We leave his office confident, which seems like a far fetched idea as first time parents with a sick baby girl. His office staff is also great. They respond in a timely manner with a professional attitude. Oh, and my daughter likes him.
Outstanding professionalism and wonderful bedside manner! Many times I feel rushed when seeing the doctor, but Dr. Russo and his staff took their time to adequately address all our concerns. Can’t recommend enough!
