Dr Russell has been caring and helpful to these two octogenarians for several years. He is always available for a consult by phone or office visit and lately has been very responsive for our two recent ER trips and the following home care. His attention to our medicines requirements is ongoing and flexible as needed. We don't know what we would do without him.
Dr. Russell listens carefully when I express when I comment on symptoms or express concerns about my medical attention. His replies are are considered and through. This is who he is, even before joining MDVIP he was the same.
One of my memorable contacts was a phone call to me at 8PM on a Friday as he was following up on getting a desired medication to be covered by my insurance. Or… See more
There are so many good things about Dr. Russell it is difficult to single out one incident. He is the kindest, most caring, most patient oriented doctor I have ever met and over the years I have been involved with many doctors, general and specialists. He has been my primary care physician for 25+ years and was my husband’s also, through his battle with multiple myeloma until his death. The… See more
Last year while disembarking a cruise liner my husband had a full cardiac arrest. With the grace of God he survived. Dr Russell was a lifeline for us. His kindness and caring helped us to be able to able to put one step in front of the other. Having him to rely on even though he was 450 miles away made a tremendous difference in allaying our fear. Thank you to Dr Chris Russell of… See more
Those words were spoken about Dr Russell by my husband's long time cardiologist at a recent heart exam. Dr Russell does indeed treat his patients with the utmost care, respect and "fine doctoring".

When my husband was in hospital Dr Russell came in one Saturday. He said he thought they were going to start physical therapy on him that day. I told him my husband's walker was in parking garage. He said, "give me your keys, tell me what kind of car and where it is and I will go get it for you". How many doctors would do that. He also called me at home to ask where I wanted my… See more

I have many stories, but will give three. Dr. Russell diagnosed my daughter in law’s problem over the phone, had her go to the ER immediately, he was there along with the surgeon when we arrived. She was rushed to surgery for an appendectomy, her appendixes were about to rupture. Because of his wonderful knowledge, excellent diagnosis, prompt response and care for his patients she had no… See more
I am so glad that we found our way to you and that you made space in your practice for us. At 68 and having been your patient for less than a year, I can say without question that you know me better and have a more thorough understanding of my healthcare needs than any of the doctors I have had as primary care physicians in the past. My last two primary care physicians took care of me for 12… See more
