There are no words to thank Dr. Russo for making me feel great again! I had the surgery May18,2021 and I am down 80lbs. He is so kind and answers all of my questions. My diabetes is gone! His entire office is so helpful. I have reccomended 4 people to him. My mom had the sleeve a month ago and I have two other friends that he will be doing the sleeve by Dr. Russo this month

Highest weight of 355lbs down to 212lbs

Dr russo has done 3 surgeries for me. Sleeve gastrectomy September 8th, 2017 but due to acid reflux I was revised to bypass august 6th, 2018. He also did my gallbladder removal February 26th, 2018. His bedside manner is top of the line and he has been super proactive in finding resolutions and answers when problems come up. I have never got "give it time" it's always been "let's find out what's wrong and get it taken care of" and i love it. Whenever I've had questions hes taken the time to answer them, and again if I dont understand or forget. Its rare to find a doctor who is out for your best interest, genuinely cares. And not just the pay. I am thankful hes my surgeon and i would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Huo , I forever will be grateful to him and his college Dr G for providing me wonderful medical…read morecare and advice. I love going to this office from the front desk to the back office staff are great. Dr Huo has an amazing bedside manner and very knowledgeable. He also did my lumbar fusion and he was there every step of the way. I can't say enough of great things about this office because they are so wonderful and I'm happy to call him my surgeon. Every time I have a question or concern he is able to provide me with an answer or his staff takes care of any paperwork that you might need. Thank you Dr Huo for always seeing me with a smile and being very thorough. You are a wonderful surgeon and ty for taking good care of me on this journey of mine.

I am very grateful that my surgery performed from Dr. Huo was a success. From the first appointment…read moreI had a very good impression of Dr. Huo. He performed a detailed evaluation of my condition, and patiently answered many questions. I/we interviewed 3 surgeons before making a decision. The other 2 surgeons had impressive credentials. However, it was evident that Dr. Huo was our best choice based on his experience and communication skills. He was very forthcoming with answers and abundantly patient with all our questions. I/we are so grateful for Dr. Huo and the excellent results I received from surgery. It feels so good to be out of pain, and be able to resume my physical fitness and good quality of life. Dr. Huo practices out of San Juan Capistrano and Fountain Valley.

Got my first round of NAD+ shot with Jackie, the NP, and had all my questions regarding symptoms…read moreand maintenance answered thoroughly by her. While I was here, I heard of other wellness shots they have to offer. I appreciate the staff and providers, especially Michelle the Medical Assistant, for being so informative on the benefits! I'm already planning the appointments for my next few rounds of NAD+ shots! Thank you Richland Aesthetics and team for the welcoming appointment! Your compassion for your patients truly shows.

I strongly encourage you NOT to go to Brandon Richland, MD for Breast Reconstructive Surgery…read more I consulted with Brandon Richland after Breast Cancer surgery for removal of implants and breast reconstruction. He was charming, presented as knowledgeable and I felt he understood what I wanted. Surgery went well and I was pleased with the results. I felt everything was fine until shortly after the drainage tubes were removed. I became very ill, had a high temp and felt like I had covid. I went to Richland's office, he took one look at me and immediately told me to walk over to ER. No one from his office offered to come with me nor did anyone check on me. In the ER an IV was started immediately and I stayed in ER until a room was available. My right breast was red, swollen, painful, and oozing from a tiny hole in the scar tissue. Not once did anyone from Richland's office check on me. I had an ultrasound which showed "fluid" in my breast, it was an abscess. The next day Richland came to my room numbed my breast and excised it. The infection came pouring out, it was disgusting and painful. The test results came back "MRSA light growth". Richland packed my breast and walked out of the room without saying a word. For 2 weeks I was in isolation, on Vancomycin IV trying to get the infection under control. Vancomycin is the heaviest antibiotic available and it is hard on your veins and harder on your body. The entire time I was in the hospital there was not one word from anyone at Richland's practice. Important note - my family was notified by the hospital of my illness and told "it does not look good". Where was my Dr? Finally I was discharged - with an open wound in my breast which I had to learn how to pack myself multiple times a day. After a few weeks the wound started to close. I called Richlands office and was told to come in so he could excise the wound once again. Richland said it was imperative that the wound close from the inside out. During the excision he took another sample from inside the wound. This result came back MRSA - HEAVY GROWTH. I immediately called the office and spoke with staff - Richland was busy - asked for a call back to discuss test results - Richland never returned one call. In total I left 4 messages and stopped in his office 3 times. All attempts to get an answer were, and still are, blatantly ignored. MRSA is no joke. People die from this infection and some lose limbs. To have a physician care so very little about his patient that he can't be bothered to have a conversation to explain these test results is unconscionable. It's important to note I was unable to finish my cancer treatment after leaving the hospital. To this day, there has been no conversation or explanation from Richland or anyone in his office.
