Joseph Russo M.D.

1400 dollars for a laser/​skin treatment… very expensive visit with no results… do your research and avoid dr russo’s office and LARISA… scam.

I had 1 syringe of juvederm put into my lips during a special that was going on at Russo’s office. Immediately after the procedure and for the rest of the healing stages my lips were extremely inflamed and uncomfortable. I could tell that they didn’t look right. I told Russo’s office and even sent pictures of what they looked like but they ensured me that it was normal.
In the end my lips came out very uneven and lumpy. I have small lips and I am pretty sure about ²⁄₃ of that syringe was put in the middle of my top lip. I have been compared to as ‘Zoidberg’ from the cartoon ‘Futerama’…I have been embarrassed of my lips for months and finally got what was left in my lips taken out at another office.
I have heard Russo is a great surgeon however; I would not recommend anyone in my life to come here for injectables! I don’t wish what was done to face even on my worst enemy.

I was referred to Dr Russo by a friend who had had a fantastic and very noticeable improvement in her appearance. I found a very kind, caring, and highly competent physician. He listened carefully to all my concerns and what I was hoping to achieve. He took the time to explain what was going to be possible and where my expectations were not realistic. He also educated me on a couple of options that were appropriate to my desires that I wasn’t even aware of. I was very happy with what he was going to be able to do for me. I felt that I was in very good hands with Dr. Russo and his wonderful team of super nice staff. The fact that he is Harvard trained and Board Certified gave me that extra confidence in him.

This man will destroy your face. There are many great cosmetic surgeons in the area who will provide the same services, (even though he claims to be the only one). I listened to him 10 years ago and have regretted it every day since.

I love that theres always parking available and it’s free. The office is located in a residential neighborhood so you don’t run into a lot of traffic. The staff is great. Jean is laser wizard. Hair and spider veins are no match for her. Tara is also great if you have pigment or acne. She has a peel or laser for everything. I see Julie for my botox. It’s truly painless and I’ve had great results with her. My mom goes here for her fillers. The bruising if any has been minimal and the results very natural. It’s a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. The staff is very knowledgeable and Dr. Russo makes sure they are continuously takes classes to keep all treatments and protocols up to date. Overall, I’ve been happy with this office. 5 years younger!

ITS REALLY HORRIBLE. I got a really rude call from his office and threatening me with legal action. I wanted to ask them what I could do about the horrible deformity that Dr. Russo created and if it could be done safely and I she hung up on me. Then I see that Unilocal removed my review. Thats so wrong. This guy has so many bad reviews that Unilocal has hidden and I’m a real patient that he injured and when I want to provide an honest review, its removed. Is it because he advertizes with Unilocal?It feels like I’m getting mutilated twice, once by Russo and now by Unilocal.Is this just to promote the people who spend money for advertizing or is it about public interest and sharing experiences about these businesses?

Do not fall for the flat rate price. They will get you in the office, do the treatments and then tell you that you need more… at a cost of course! I took myself and my daughter here and it was an awful experience ending in a lot of, take it or leave it conversations.
Augh! There are other good doctors out I am sure. Pass on this one or make sure you read the small print and question, question, question! Inga P

I went to several doctors in the area for consults on Breast augmentation. I knew I would not be an average candidate, and wanted to be sure I found someone confident they could correct my breasts.
After seeing several plastic surgeons, I knew Dr Russo would be my surgeon the moment I met him. He took his time listening to my concerns, was honest and realistic about his expectations for my results, and truly made me feel comfortable and confident with the decision to have surgery.
I struggled with choosing a size, and thought I had picked what would look good on me. I must have spent an hour trying different sizes in their exam room, but no one rushed me. It was Caitlin, one of his nurses, who helped me make my final decision. What she suggested was larger than what I thought I wanted, but as it turns out she was 100% correct. They fit me perfectly, and they look very natural. If it wasn’t for Dr Russo and his staff, I would not have been happy with my results.
Thanks to Dr Russo and his staff!

I tried Botox three separate times with three different pratctitioners, and it failed each time. Dr Russo’s office nailed it and I am loving it. The staff is friendly and not overbearing. They are not near the T, but it is just a short drive up Route 9 and they have parking!
Anyways, regarding Botox in general, it really helps my migraines. Even when the previous attempts at wrinkle correction failed, it did at least help with that. Its quite a nice side benefit. I am not suggesting it would work that way for everyone, but at least it did for me.
