This is my Cousin, the only woman who could babysit me as a child. All others left in tears…read more Katherine was identified as a genius early in her childhood and was sent to a special school. She originally went into Neuropsychology, but it seems she obtained a Psychology degree and degrees in 4 areas of medicine. Katherine has always been super compassionate with me. I was hyperactive. The teachers said I had a learning disorder. The doctors said I had a high verbal IQ. I went to prison because I had issues, maybe with being adopted, drug addiction, and a lot of depression. I just couldn't love or trust people. No intimacy. Katherine sent me Principles of Neural Science while I was in the joint. No matter how busy she was she took the time out to listen to me. 35 years down the road, just a year ago, I'm on the verge of suicide. Done attempted already. I come across an MRI of a depressed brain relative to a normal brain, and I can interpret it completely due to Katherine. I stumble upon the drug ketamine and hear about how it fuels "synaptic plasticity". I know what that means too due to Katherine. I learned about "tryptamines" and kicked the shit out of my depression. Katherine went to sleep disorders because her father suffered from insomnia I suspect. Her father was a speechwriter. Kathrine is high intelligent. Her mind is incisive like no other I can recall, and I'm throwing in Neil Peart, my idol, too. I can only assume for whatever reason your interaction with her didn't go as planned. Sometimes that happens.

Doesn't listen, very rude bedside manner, speaks in tongues (does not explain things in easy to…read moreunderstand words, the majority is med terms), easily bothered by questions, does not try to help in resolving health problems. I left having more question than I had when I went in but due to her language barrier (med terms) you don't understand what she is saying and she does not speak in lamens terms. Avoid her like the plague. Get a Real Pulmonologist! She's not it!

As a relatively healthy woman from the baby boomer generation, in 2015, with no genetic history of…read morecancer in my family, I was diagnosed with a rare form of endometrial cancer. After a complete hysterectomy and minimal follow-up treatment (without radiation), I enjoyed three years of clean health. Then in 2018, I started having digestive issues, acid reflux, insomnia, burning sensations in legs, abdomen, back and face. I was probed, scanned, had multiple blood tests and referred to many specialists. My auto-immune thyroid numbers were through the roof, I was told I was under stress and that I should try counseling. I was prescribed medication for the acid reflux, medication for sleep and told that eventually I would need to be on medication for my thyroid as well. I used the acid reflux meds for two years, and tried the sleep meds to no avail. I was a mess, my symptoms were getting worse and were a huge disruption to my life and I refused to accept the fact that taking medications were my only way forward. While reading an article in one of my local magazines about boosting your immunity through natural remedies, I was introduced to Dr. Ashley Russell, who was a contributor to the article. I decided it was time to forge a new path. The discovery that her office was only five minutes from my house was a sign from the universe that I had to go and see her. To keep this story brief but poignant, Dr. Russell ran tests that none of my other doctors even thought of and was able to figure out the root cause of all of my symptoms, which she treated gently, using natural supplements, nutritional guidelines and suggestions for mind/body practices. Slowly but surely, all of my symptoms quieted down (and went away), sleep returned and my thyroid numbers came under control. Dr. Russell treats the whole body, not just the symptoms. She gives you the time to speak, she takes the time to listen and learn about you as a person. She cares about your whole body health and not about selling quick fixes or products in general. Dr. Russell helped me regain my quality of life and since 2021, Dr. Russell continues to be my first choice when it comes to my healthcare.

It has admittedly taken me a long time to write a review for Dr. Russell as I don't even know where…read moreto begin with how much she has helped me in the course of being one of her patients for the last year and a half. From the beginning, Dr. Russell understood my concern and understood why it was important to me to find more natural solutions to address the issue that I came to her with. From the very beginning, Dr. Russell's approach was different and refreshing. At our first meeting we discussed the reason why I initially sought her care, but then discussed where I was at as a person and uncovered that I really had multiple goals that I was wanting to address. She ordered a health panel and carefully walked me through understanding all the numbers---something no doctor had other done before with me. She answered all my questions thoughtfully and provided resources to help me better reach my personal health goals. The other thing that Dr. Russell makes clear from the beginning is that she wants you to be an active participant in your health and she really means it. She doesn't get offended when I ask questions and doesn't think that I am questioning her expertise or professional opinion. She understands how important it is to me to be involved and fully understand different options, and she facilitates this understanding. In short, Dr. Russell is a truly caring health professional that fully supports her patients. She is respectful, non-judgmental, attentive, and smart. To Dr. Russell you are not a number, but actually a person that she truly cares about. She remembers what you talk about from visit to visit and helps you be accountable toward reaching your personal health goals. During COVID, we have been having virtual telehealth visits that have been seamless. I feel very fortunate to be one of her patients and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Please consider R2P for your rehab needs and ongoing fitness support…read more From the first call and quick assignment of a therapist and appointment I knew I was in the correct place. Matt (Mannick, DPT), my therapist consistently combined clinical skill with a calm encouraging manner. My concerns of being a 77y female who was minimally to moderately active were concerns of being treated as 'old' were immediately removed. The programs Matt designed were respectfully age-related while remained challenging strength, balance and endurance so that I could safely continue doing the exercises at home. My presenting symptoms (sciatic pain) were treated swiftly allowing me to continue activities without pain. And additionally, he got my frequent sense of humor comments. My experience is with the Frederick location. However, want to add the population in Hagerstown and surrounding area are fortunate to have Matt available to you at the Williamsport location.

If I would have the choice to do anything differently...the only thing I can think of is I would have done it a lot sooner. He's a wonderful Doctor and a kind person. Thank You Dr. Steinberg for the excellent care.

A day hasn't passed in the year and a half since without thinking of him, and I still fight the urge to put (more) holes in walls out of frustration and anger. Putting my trust in him was one of the worst mistakes of my life and I don't recommend you repeat it. There are plenty of other surgeons out there so go find a specialist for your condition. Anything can be messed up and you will have to live with the results always.

I found Rachel from Life Change Therapy Now after switching jobs and having my health insurance…read moreprovider changed. I was sad to leave my old therapist, but happy about this wonderful life change. We left on good terms with the office. A coworker, with the same health insurance provider, suggested I give LCTN a call and so I did! Rachel is no longer a part of this office. I liked her, however, but I can't blame her for moving on with her life from this elementary, disorganized, and unempathetic office. At first, I was very clear about my needs. As a daughter of refugee parents and as a first generation immigrant, my problems were very specific to this. I made this very clear in my intake interview and while they did their best to hear me, I can tell they did not understand that growing up as a first generation immigrant is not the same as having issues with immigration. I emphasized this several times. If you browse their Meet The Team page, it is very apparent why they are not educated about the difference in the difference, no matter how hard I emphasized that immigration was my issue. There is not much diversity in this team to help the needs of POC or those who are children of immigrants. I understand it may be due to location of this office, this may be my fault but it is still good to note if you are of minority background to avoid this place. I messaged this office to notify them of my illness (flu) with over 24hr notice from my appointment date and they refused to refund me the no-show cancellation. They said this is due to the fact this was my second time having a no-show (the first was due to my therapist switching hours and my appointment got changed around). I was disappointed by the lack of communication, understanding, and empathy for my being sick. If fact, their appointment reminder came AFTER I had cancelled my appointment. Absolutely unprofessional. BOTH this incident and the incident on not understanding the difference between having immigration concerns verses growing up in a refugee household were both handled by the same person--Zoe. So maybe other staff could be more helpful and empathetic, but I have not had that experience. Their emails that are sent to your inbox are full of very amateur and unsettling clip-art-esque images that have their worded updates in it. I do strongly wish they would spend time working on their client care than to draw up an email that is just so ugly and unappealing to read. In addition, their online portal is absolutely abysmal. It is not user friendly. As the coworker who had recommended me this office also needed to leave due to being underwhelmed with her service, she was then sent a satisfaction survey to complete. I did not because I upfront told them I was unhappy with my service. Therefore, please take any testimonial on their website with several grains of salt.
