Patient Reviews
Jan 20, 2024
Dr Russo, the PAs, David, Liz, and everyone in the Memorial Care Orange coast hospital Bariatrics were wonderful. I first met Dr. Russo in May 2023. He was kind, calm, and I remember that I noticed he never once looked at my body. He does not fat shame or have any sort of archaic views of obesity. He affirmed my concerns and explained that the complications between hormones and obesity. The office helped me go through the pre-op steps. Memorial Care approved me within 5 days of receiving the paperwork. Dr. Russo’s office scheduled me as soon as they could. The surgery and postoperative recovery were great. The nurses and dietitians helped a lot. I attend free support groups run by a dietitian and a psychologist. I’m 6 weeks postop and have lost 31% weight. I saw Dr. Russo and he told me, “this is just the beginning of a new life!” If you want a superior surgeon, excellent team, high quality hospital, and if you want to change your life, I highly recommend Dr. Russo and Orange Coast!
