What are our patients saying about working with Dr. Russell?
J.M. says…
“It has admittedly taken me a long time to write a review for Dr. Russell as I don’t even know where to 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.”

“It has been a wonderful experience working with Dr. Russell. I really appreciate the time she takes to listen and respond thoughtfully. She has answered my many questions patiently and educated me thoroughly. She addressed my specific concerns as well as new issues that arose over time. It took a while to unravel everything that my body was experiencing, but we worked through it step by step. In the end, she expertly guided me through this journey of healing to a place of wholeness both physically and emotionally. I feel I have regained my health as well as a better understanding of myself. Dr. Russell is truly a caring, kind and skilled professional and I am glad to have established a relationship with her that will be something that I can count on through the years.”

“I absolutely love this practice! I’ve worked with many doctors and Dr. Russell was the first one to take the time to go through all of my symptoms and issues in detail and listen to my concerns. She was also able to lower/raise many of the levels that were the causing many of my symptoms through natural supplements, not harsh medications with many side effects! Would definitely recommend if you have an autoimmune condition and have been frustrated with lack of help or positive results! Thank you Dr. Russell!”

“Dr. Russell has been a saving grace. Her thoughtfulness and sincere concern for the patient is apparent. Her extensive knowledge and thorough explanations about Naturopathic medicine was a breath of fresh air- considering I was skeptical at first of trying alternative medicine. I decided I needed to learn more about healthier options before taking synthetic medications with potentially severe side effects, and I’m so glad to have met Dr. Russell who patiently answered all of my questions and guided me through this process.
It has been a year and there has been such self- growth and healing—mostly due to Dr. Russel’s suggestions of certain safe, healthy holistic medicines, herbs, vitamins along with small lifestyle changes to help combat anxiety/depression, migraines, etc. This experience has been a true awakening. I am so grateful to have found Frederick Natural Health Center and to have learned so much about the holistic approach–it truly does work!”
S.E. says…
“My primary reason for the appointments had to do with GI-related symptoms…I have been virtually symptom free since our last appointment. The last time I had any symptoms was about a month ago. The fact that I don’t remember exactly shows how much better I’m doing. I appreciate all of [Dr. Russell’s] time and help.”
L.L. says…
“I have been so pleased with the care I have received here. Dr. Russell’s approach to treating the “whole body” has given me a better understanding of my particular health situation. I like how the Doctor and patient together discuss treatments and duration of care. She is very knowledgeable and her health plan for me is giving me great results. For anyone who wants to have an active role in their own health journey, I highly recommend working with Dr. Russell and the Frederick Natural Health Center team.”

“Dr. Russell was incredibly helpful both diagnosing and treating my daughter. I appreciated that she spoke to her directly, asking and answering all her questions in a thoughtful and professional manner. All options regarding her treatment were discussed and my daughter was a major part of the decision-making process. We are in a much better place than we were 6 months ago, and without medication. Thanks Dr. Russell!”
L.E. says…
“I came to see Dr. Russell a couple months ago to regulate my period so my husband and I could get pregnant. I’m happy to report… It worked! Just went to the doctor yesterday and I’m pregnant!”
D.T. says…
“Thank you for your help, Dr. Russell! Ed, my husband, is doing so much better with his high blood pressure and mood. I’d personally like to thank you for helping us get our marriage back on the right path. We are happier than ever!”
S.V. says…
“Dr. Russell is a compassionate and competent practitioner! I had the pleasure of receiving many treatments from her including homeopathy, craniosacral therapy, and nutritional counseling. Before doing any treatments, Dr. Russell spent time getting to know me and my condition. I am happy to say my condition has improved dramatically since I started to work with her. She taught me the body does the healing, while the treatments provide an ideal situation for this to happen. I am happy I met her and highly recommend her services!”
K.W. says…
“Dr. Russell is phenomenal! She is extremely well-versed in and offers incredibly effective treatments and guidance for healing.”
M.S. says…
“I recently went to Dr. Russell for help with my overall health. Dr. Russell suggested that I try an elimination diet. Being somewhat skeptical that I had food allergies I still decided to try it. I am so happy that I did. With the guidance of Dr. Russell I now have a lot more energy, my mind is clear, I sleep better and for the first time in many years I am not suffering from seasonal allergies. I cannot thank Dr. Russell enough and highly recommend her for any issues you may be having.”
A.M. says…
“I have gone to Dr. Russell for help on so many different levels for care for myself and my family. She asks thorough questions and takes the time to really listen. She has put me and my family on a path of healing and better health for the long term. She is passionate about finding the right fit and answer. I’m thankful for all of Dr. Russell’s help and support from the hard genetic questions to help with boosting up my son’s immune system!”
J.R. says…
“Dr. Russell suggested I go on an elimination/challenge diet. She explained the benefits and the information I would gain from following the guidelines. It still looked daunting. After running out of excuses, I jumped in and decided to try it. I am amazed! It really has been a life changer for me. I discovered foods that I had no idea I was allergic to and eating them frequently. Since I’ve been on this diet, I haven’t had a headache or needed aspirin once. Before, I would have a headache or sinus problems at least four days out of a week, if not more! Not only do I feel better, but I look better since I’ve lost over 10 pounds. Dr. Russell was very supportive and encouraging throughout this process. I am so glad I listened to her! Thank you, thank you!”
