    How was your appointment with Dr. Larussa?

    Jun 03, 2021
    Dr LaRussa helped me tremendously. He always seemed attentive and understand and let me know that he and his office were available. I moved to another Practioner due to the distance but have decided that having him as my mental health provider is much more important than having one more conveniently located.
