Best experience was the stipulation to have a family member with me for the appointment. I was dealing with memory issues and my adult son not only provided company and support, but also a second memory to help the rest of the family understand.

Dr Russo has been very calm, and interested in all aspects of my Partners "late onset" of Alzheimer's.She is very thorough, patient, and offers helpful suggestions to make my Partners, and my life more liveable. I appreciate her honesty. Even though it is hard to hear at times. Better prepared realistically, than blind sided down the road. She does it in a calm and caring way.

Dr. Russo is an excellent physician and I am very grateful to have her caring for my mother with dementia. She has helped me walk through a very dark chapter in my mother's life.

Dr. Russo was very personable and patient. She spend much time going educating ys about the disease and answering all our questions. We left her office with a better undetstanding of what to expect and some suggestions on how to navigate through this journey. Thank you Dr. Russo for kindness and compassion.
