Dr. Russell is honest and only tells you what you NEED to have done, and also tells you what you COULD have done, but there's no pressure to do it. Just a helpful recommendation. I switched from Russell and went to another dentist because they were offering some free stuff for new patients - but the new guy promptly told me I had three "cavities" when in fact (I knew) they were merely "discolored areas". They put on the super-high-pressure sales tactics, calling me repeatedly to "get in and get those cavities taken care of." I was totally put off by that - so I waited six months, and then went back to Dr. Russell. Sure enough, they weren't cavities! Dr. Russell had long ago educated me on what is a cavity (dark, sometimes deep, and the pick sticks in it so it's clearly compromised the protective surface of the tooth). Russell shows you why you need work done, and if you don't need it, he doesn't push it. His entire team is great too. A truly honest dentist. He's in it for your oral health, not for the bottom line.
