Review for Dr. Russell

Dr. Keele made sure I understood everything about my needed procedure. He was super informative and answered every question I had without making me feel rushed. His calming demeanor makes a scary situation more tolerable.

Review for Dr. Keele

I went because of my low bone density and fatigue. While he did run a bunch of tests, they didn't should anything abnormal. When I suggested some tests that my chiropractor suggested, he refused to order them. So I am stuck paying out of pocket with money I don't have. I won't go see him again.
