Dr. Russel listened to our observations and concerns, viewed Carlisle briefly (as he was being shy), and came up with two diagnoses quickly. We are so happy and excited to began treatment and further investigation per Dr. Russel's sound advise. We are thrilled to hear he may not yet be ready for palliative care!! 5 Stars and 100% satisfied; cannot wait to schedule another appointment to discuss results.
