As a new patient to the practice I was greeted with relaxed friendly people who worked there from the dentist , receptionist, and dental assistant . I liked the atmosphere ; it was pleasantly decorated but not over the top and appeared really clean and sanitized.
I was impressed with the technology used for a new patient to explain and demonstrate exactly what was going on in my mouth. Not only was it easy to understand but the process comfortable.
I’ve never had so much personal attention ; not feeling rushed at all
Looking forward to my next visit not dreading it 😀

There are some pretty good dentists out there. There are even fewer really good ones. Then, there is Dr. Russ! She is in a league all by herself. Not only does she have mad skills, but she is a wonderful person, with an equally amazing staff. A rare combination indeed! I'm luck to call her "my dentist!"

Dr Russ fit me in this morning so I could get a crown reset before I leave town tomorrow for a my daughter’s wedding. She was very precise and didn’t cut corners despite the fact that she likely didn’t have time to deal with me (it was my fault the crown came off after all!). She was so pleasant and professional- I highly recommend her!

Elizabeth Russ and her team are professional, thorough and efficient. My appointments are always on time and there is no sitting around in the waiting room. The efficiency is not at the expense of friendliness and genuine concern for your dental health. Great experience!

My family and I have been going to the Dr Russ practice for many years and it’s been great. I found her to be very professional, kind and truly caring about your oral health. Everyone in her office has always been very friendly and does exceptional work as well! My husband and my daughters see Dr. Russ too and have only good things to say as well. I highly recommend this office!

I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Russ at a very rigorous dental conference. I was able to see firsthand her work and discuss dental care and treatment. Her patients are very lucky to have her! She is very impressive!

Dr Russ and her entire staff are wonderful. My family (3 of us) all come in from Acton to see Dr Russ and her staff, and they're worth every mile.
I've had people ask why I travel 26 miles each way to see a dentist. I tell them "People travel across the country to see a doctor when they believe their life is on the line. Your life may never be saved by your dentist, but it could. Moreover, I completely trust them. And if you don't have that, it doesn't matter if they're next door."
