Patients appreciate
Dr. Russell Fothergill receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority of reviews awarding perfect 5-star ratings. Patients consistently praise his exceptional bedside manner, describing him as kind, caring, compassionate, and personable. His communication skills are highlighted repeatedly, with patients noting that he takes time to thoroughly answer all questions, explain treatment options in understandable terms, and never makes them feel rushed. Many reviewers emphasize that he makes them feel heard and truly cared for as individuals, with several noting that he remembers personal details about them and their families. His clinical expertise and knowledge are frequently mentioned, with patients expressing complete confidence in his care. Multiple reviews specifically mention that he reviews charts before appointments and coordinates with other providers, demonstrating thoroughness and dedication.

His ability to make patients feel comfortable, particularly those who were initially skeptical about seeing a male OB/GYN, is repeatedly highlighted.
Patients also share
The reviews reveal very few areas for improvement. Only one patient mentioned a significant concern about wait times, noting they waited over an hour in the exam room while undressed, though they still rated Dr. Fothergill highly overall. This appears to be an isolated complaint, as no other reviews mention excessive waiting times or scheduling issues. No other substantive criticisms or opportunities for improvement were identified in the patient feedback.
