Read MoreThought of my old pediatrician who came to see me in my hospital room after his rounds because I had an emergency appendectomy at age 19 ...during my childhood inoculations, he pretended his needles were made of rubber and made a show of getting down on a knee chasing the "rubber needle" he just gave me to distract me from crying..God Bless You Dr.Russo

One of the best Pediatricians in the world! He was by far superb with my children. My children are grown now, and I would have never made it without these excellent doctors caring for them! May he be in heaven rejoicing!! Rest in Peace Dr Russo

When I had my son 22 years ago there was no question who I was going to bring him to and 20 months later my daughter was also welcomed with the warm smile and gentleness both of you gave.

Dear Mrs. Russo and Family, Please accept my sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy. Although I don't remember it myself, my mom tells me that when I was 9 months old, she brought me to visit the Doctor due to what seemed to be sever ear pain. Dr. Russo, upon seeing the severity of the situation, immediately drove my mom and I to St. Vincent's for emergency surgery. May the Lord bless him for his kindness and caring and may He bless you and comfort you during this most difficult...
