Dr. John Russo, D.D.S. & M.H.S

Thinking of my worst favorite thing to do (going  to the dentist and listening to that high-pitched drill in my ear while water is squirting down my neck and into my face) I get squeamish, but I know from personal experience it is one of the major health priorities we need to make a big  part of our personal health regimen.  IBE Barter gives you many choices of different practitioners who have varied specialties, and are trained in certain modalities that are more modern and longer-lasting, such as dental implants.

IBE Barter highly recommends Dr. John Russo, DDS and Periodontic Specialist.  Dr Russo’s D.D.S. and M.H.S. status means his practice is limited to periodontics and dental implants. Dr. Russo is a graduate of the Ohio State University College of Dentistry and completed his specialty training at the Medical University of South Carolina, where he earned a Masters of Health Sciences degree.  Dr. Russo is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Periodontics at the Medical University of South Carolina and is a diplomat of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.

IBE Barter is extremely fortunate to have such a distinguished and credentialed man like Dr. Russo who lectures across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, to share his knowledge of implants and bone grafting with other dentists.  His spirit of generosity has made him highly respected and appreciated in many countries.

On a personal note, Dr. Russo and his wife are the proud parents of three boys, two of whom are fraternal twins.  His hobby is saltwater fishing and he participates in team tournaments and somehow makes the time to be the lead guitarist in a band called Dr. RX FEELGOOD.

His staff is loved and appreciated because of the kindness and individual attention they constantly offer patients.  Office Manager Rose Nardone, Tina Bachrach, Receptionist, Kristine Page, Registered Dental Hygienist, Karen Mullet, Surgical Assistant, Sharon Sparkman, Surgical Assistant, and Lisa Gutierrez, Registered Dental Hygienist, complete the skilled and attentive staff at Dr. Russo’s practice.

In such a complicated world as ours, so many cutting-edge procedures have been created, and to understand each and every one and how they potentially  improve your dental health is a lofty task.  On Dr. Russo’s website, www.russoperio.com , there are scores of helpful and informing videos to guide you through your potential procedure.  Dr. Ross feels strongly about explaining the why’s and the wherefore’s of your dental work so you know why this work is necessary and how great your mouth will look and feel afterward. Find these videos under the FAQS tab on the website.
