I have been going to Dr. Russo for about 2 years and I haven't felt better. Before I went to Dr. Russo I did not feel myself. She performed a series of blood test to find out my thyroid, estrogen, and testosterone levels were so low and recommended pellet thearpy which is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and I am feeling like my self once again. Dr. Russo is caring and is a expert in what she does. I would highly recommend her and also want to thank her for helping me feel my best.

Dr. Russo is a caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable physician. She has been instrumental in providing education, support, and guidance as I learn to manage my hormonal imbalance and surgical menopause symptoms. I was miserable on a daily basis from the hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, and irritability. After Dr. Russo completed a comprehensive health history along with a blood test. She was able to provide me with treatment options to address my symptoms. The pellets have significantly decreased my daily symptoms!

Where do I start? After I stopped nursing my second, I couldn't stop producing milk for a year and half AFTER I stopped. I gained a ton of weight, I lost interest in the things I used to enjoy, and I found myself to be constantly irritable. After seeing several specialists with all of them giving up, I found Dr. Russo. I can honestly say that she saved me. She talked through hormone replacement with me and I decided to give it a shot. GAME CHANGER!! Six weeks in and I felt like a brand new person! I got my energy back, my milk production stopped, and I feel so happy again. Dr. Russo is amazing to work with. She is informative, patient, and really takes the time to understand what you are going through to help. I cannot recommend her enough (really, I tell everyone I know about her!)

As someone who owns 2 diet centers I deal with heath issues everyday. Clients have often experienced slow weight loss even though they follow our weight loss program perfectly. This is when I call Dr. Russo so she can dig deeper and run the proper tests to help determine each clients specific issues. I can't explain how great the feedback from clients has been and how she has helped countless number of clients restart their metabolism. Estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, and the entire endocrine system needs to be tested and then treated. I can choose any doctor on the Northshore to send my struggling clients too and I choose Dr. Russo because she is simply the best. If more doctors like Dr. Russo would take the time and truly listen to their patients and run them through the proper testing an untold number of patients would live better lives. Dr. Russo has turned my wife's life around with the treatment she has received that should have been picked up by her internist, but sadly it was not. Do yourself a life changing favor and have the bloodwork drawn to determine your starting point. There is no hard sales pressure and the initial consultation has the potential to quite literally change your life for the next 20 years. Lifestyle is the pathway to greater happiness.
