Dr. Russell's career in OB/GYN stretches back more than three decades, and the thread connecting all of it is a drive to lead, teach, and raise the bar for patient care. She started at Austin College in Sherman, Texas, earned her medical degree from UT Southwestern, and trained at Vanderbilt, one of the country's premier academic medical centers. During residency, she was selected as a Galloway Fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, an experience that deepened her understanding of gynecologic oncology and complex patient care. After finishing at Vanderbilt, she stayed on to direct intern education before heading into practice. Over the years, Dr. Russell has led OB/GYN departments at hospitals in Alabama and maintained a private practice for nearly three decades. She brings that depth of clinical and administrative experience to MomDoc, where she continues to do what she has always done: deliver thorough, experienced care while mentoring the next generation of providers around her.
