Student Review
"Phenomenal experience this quarter working with Dr. Russell. He actually treated me like a doctor and I was able to make decisions and begin to finally learn how to bill and code. Dr. Russell cares a tremendous amount about each and every one of his patients and his students that he is working with and it really shows. I learned more this quarter about contact lenses than I ever thought I would learn on a contact lens rotation. I was able to fit all types of specialty lenses on my own and make my own decisions like a real doctor."
