She didn't hesitate: "Don't bother looking at anyone else in the Valley. Go see Russo." In that heavy accent. I'm glad I listened. As a nurse myself with 26 years of experience, I've seen it all -- the good, the bad, and the downright scary. Dr. Russo is one of the best. His father was a physician, and I can say with confidence his Father should be incredibly proud of the surgeon and human being his son has become. Dr. Russo isn't just a highly skilled surgeon with a stellar track record and excellent credentials. What really stood out to me was his bedside manner. He never once made me feel rushed. He listened. He cared. And you can tell he genuinely loves what he does -- there's no trace of the burnout you sometimes see in seasoned surgeons. On top of it all, he's a family man with kids of his own, so he gets it. He understands how a bum hip doesn't just affect you, it affects your whole family. That empathy came through in every interaction. I had a left hip replacement and walked out the same day with not just a new joint, but a new outlook on life. I'm excited to soon tie my own shoes again, to ride a bike pain-free, to live my life again. If you're considering surgery and you're lucky enough to get in with Dr. Russo -- don't think twice. Thank you Dr Russo!

Dr. Mitchell has had a transformative positive impact on my health in just six months of working…read morewith him. Over the past 3-5 years I have struggled greatly with spinal pain and increasing severity of autoimmune symptoms that no other doctor was able to diagnose or correctly treat. I am an Olympic swimmer and a documentary creator, so to suffer my body's degeneration so severely was more than just a nuisance, it felt like a loss of my entire identity. My right eye was going blind due to inflammation, my spine was attempting to fuse together, I had abdominal pain that kept me up all night and mental fog all day that prevented me from working for weeks at a time. Every day I was taking a massive cocktail of medications for asthma, inflammation and allergies that seemed to be doing absolutely nothing for me. All of this impacted my life perspective and outlook to the point where I didn't desire to live if this is how life was going to be. I had the opportunity to listen to Dr. Mitchell's podcasts and learn about his methodology - it was something that appealed to me so I made an appointment with him. More than any other physician I've had, Dr. Mitchell is keen on using diagnostics to inform treatment. A full analysis of blood, stool, urine, mental health and lifestyle choices was done within the first month - the results were then carefully explained and Dr. Mitchell put forward a treatment plan in phases focused on resetting my damaged gut as it plays heavily into the severity of my health woes. Dr. Mitchell put me on a natural regimen of healing nutrition, physical activity, enzymes, probiotics, cleansing aids, meditation and homeopathic remedies. It was a lot of effort, but in the end it paid off. After a few months of putting in the work and sticking with the plan, I am now back in the gym training with glimpses of the same spirit I had as an Olympian; back in the office making headway on innovative ideas and connecting with people around me; my relationships with loved ones are getting stronger and more compassionate; I am more aware of my nutritional choices and able to make smarter decisions about how to use food as the best medicine. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Mitchell's patience, kindness and deep concern for me as a guide through this journey. We live in a time where the perversion of profit has tainted our inputs measurably (food, social, technological, environmental) and is causing immense imbalances that trigger adverse responses from our bodies. The movement around identifying these toxic inputs to address them is young but growing - for the time being it is fantastically difficult to avoid those toxic inputs entirely, and a guide like Dr. Mitchell can help tremendously in living every day to the fullest in this environment and find ways to be strong, vibrant, compassionate and energetic in all aspects of life.

As of this moment, it's been almost 30 days and I am still waiting for them to send the proper documentation to the insurance company. In addition, the quality of care was unacceptable. I waited more than 30 minutes in the exam room before having to go to the front desk to see what the delay was. No one ever checked on me. After inquiring, somehow the doctor was suddenly available. The front desk person also said it was weird in that he did not have a patient before me. I cannot stress enough how terrible this practice is.

I am 6'1", 325 lbs and his office is not equipped to handle a patient of my size. They do not have a single large blood pressure cuff, so every time they took my blood pressure it was way off! The chairs in their infusion rooms Are built for people much smaller than me, they were even too small for my wife and she's only 5'4". Both times I had my infusions done in their office they had to stick me four times before they found a vein. I get a monthly infusion at Alera Care for a different auto immune disease, they stick me one time and get a vein. I asked them to transfer my infusion over to Alera Care and they have been less than helpful. They kept telling me the doctor had to talk to me first, he finally called me a few days later and told me that they don't do that. He told me I should find another doctor. My perception is that they only want to treat you if they can also bill for the medicine and the infusion, and they have been making it very difficult for me have my infusions done elsewhere. I asked them to contact the insurance company and just add Alera Care to the prior authorization and they said that was against their policy. I will probably miss my infusion that is due this week, because they won't make a 5 minute phone call. There are a lot of 1 star reviews on here and Google, be warned! If you get referred to them, save yourself the trouble and find a different rheumatologist.

The interim doctor is Dr. Debra Michel (pronounced My-kull like the name Michael), she is no nonsense but thorough. The office now accepts insurance (Medicare, BCBS, and others).

Check in was pretty easy I wouldn't recommend going early because I waited over an hour to be moved to another room. They were able to take x ray there and that was nice. I ended up waiting 1 hour 20 minutes before I saw the doctor.

In the last year or so, though, the care we've received has gone downhill fast, mostly due to the new NP's my wife and I have both seen. The previous doc, PA, and NP at Prevene we saw were all knowledgeable but also took the time to listen and do a proper assessment. More often than not, they also thought through root cause possibilities rather than simply looking for a band-aid to slap on via meds or overly simplistic advice. Our last few appointments with the new staff was full of interruptions and more talking than listening, telling me the same thing you could find online or in a book. We'll be looking for somewhere new.
