Dr. Joseph W Russell, DO, FAAP

1 star is being generous. I believe this guy should retire. He has the bedside manner of a car mechanic who feels it is appropriate to swear in front of your children. I've seen DMG doctors for years and this is the first truly disappointing experience that has caused me to reconsider my relationship with DuPage Medical Group.

Outstanding Doctor

I work in healthcare and he is the best pediatrician by far. Drive about an hour each way to see him and it is worth it.

Such an amazing doctor! Being a mom of 3 small kids I always felt the need to bring my husband along, although he would miss work. Dr Russel and the staff made each visit so quick and easy I would come alone! He's like that really cool uncle everybody wants in life! He's never judging or makes you feel dumb! I was so sad to move, leaving this office was one of the main reasons! I recommended him countless times! I wish he would relocate to Georgia!

I'm not one to write reviews but when it comes to Dr Russell, I had to. I've never met a doctor who takes as much time as Dr Russell does with my children and I. He always goes that extra mile with the kids, making sure they are comfortable before performing his exams. He has one of the best bedside manners and my kids just love him. His staff also always returns my phone calls promptly when it comes to any questions I have about their illnesses. My husband and I are so happy to have such a great pediatrician for our children!

Dr Russell is an excellent pediatrician and I feel so lucky he takes care of our 4 children. He is attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and very kind. Our children are very comfortable with him!

My grandson comes to the states for a visit each year. While he is here, he has his annual physical with Dr. Russell (which he can't get in his country). Dr. Russell has seen my grandson for 6 years. At each visit, Dr. Russell has been extremely thorough and patient. Throughout the visit he questions my grandson about health issues as well as my daughter (and myself if I am there), thereby including my grandson in the process. My grandson has had several medical issues throughout the years, and Dr. Russell has been "right on top of them" giving explanations of the problems and suggesting resolutions to be carried out back home. In some cases he has even helped set up appointments for my grandson here in the states. We, as a family, are more than pleased with Dr. Russell's care. We must add that his sense of humor with the children also makes him an excellent pediatrician.

the best pediatrician! he takes his time when evaluated my children, makes them feel comfortable and relaxed. the kids actually enjoy seeing him. the staff is also great, hardly any waiting time.

Dr Russell is truly the best pediatrician around. He was referred to me by a friend who adores him as well. He takes his time with us each time we see him. His staff is very helpful and wonderful with the children as well. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a quality doctor. I only left his practice because we moved out of state. If I could move him with us I would, that is how excellent he and his staff all are.

I picked Dr Russell without having any idea who he was or if he was a good Dr. I have been dissapointed my many Dr's in my life so I am so relieved that he is a wonderfull Pediatrician. Takes his time, you can tell he loves kids, listens to your concerns. His staff is great! I am very picky with Drs and I wish I could go to him.
