Merrill Russell is a knowledgeable, friendly and personalbe, and very competent dentist with a great chair-side manner. His pain management approach is very patient conscious, and I swear, every time I've needed a shot of novacaine, he appologizes for the little "stick"! I've never had another dentist do that! He gives you a folded paper towel as a "worry blanket" at the beginning of each appointment, which I think is a very smart thing to do, because it give you something to do with your hands other than gouge divits in the armrests. : ) His costs for bi-annual cleaning and xrays are always within the allowed costs for my insurance. Finally, at the end of your appointment, he gives you a new toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste... I've never had another dentist that does that, either.
He's located conveniently in central Austin, and if you're at UT or St. David's Hospital, you can't go wrong going to Dr. Russell, but I'd drive across town to keep seeing him.
out of 5 stars
