Dr. Walter F. Russo, a Milford native, began practicing in 1983 after graduating from the same school as his father and two siblings, the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He joined his father, Dr. Anthony J. Russo, who founded the practice in 1954, and worked alongside him until Dr. Anthony retired in 1994. The practice is located in his childhood home, at 85 Prospect St. in Milford, across from the waterfall and duck pond. He treats children and adults, offering services from A to Z, including bleaching, cosmetic dentistry, root canals, implants, crowns, bridges, removable partials and dentures.
Since 1985, Dr. Russo has served on the Education Council that designs and runs all the continuing education courses for the CT State Dental Association. He has participated in well over 1000 hours of continuing education during his career in order to provide the highest quality of care for his patients.
I am truly interested in the whole person, beyond their teeth, and attentively listen to understand a patients motivation and goals in seeking dental care. With honesty and integrity, I consistently give my best to customize an individuals treatment according to their wishes. My goal is to inform and provide appropriate treatment options according to the patients interest. I strive to do my very best because I sincerely find it meaningful to use my skills to help people and provide the kind of care we all want. I treat you as I would my family.
Most of Dr. Russos staff has worked with him for over 15 years. Between his 5 hygienists, they collectively have worked there for over 100 years! He and his team feel as though their patients are like family to them. They have seen 4 generations of many families in their practice and not only look forward to visiting with their patients, but keeping their oral health in check as well.
I want my patients to be happy with my work. My private practice has my name on the door and I take my reputation, accountability, and commitment to you very seriously. Maximum effort is applied to every phase of dental care delivered. Very close attention is paid to make sure I run on time, to make sure all dental work has an excellent fit, and to make sure every aspect of your experience at my office meets your satisfaction. I take pride in my work and promise to give my best effort for the benefit of each patient.
