Dr. Russo and his wife moved back to Connecticut in 2001 to begin his dental career at Vernon Family Dentists. Dr. Russo loves technology and has incorporated it into every aspect of his practice.

Now that his children are older, Dr. Russo enjoys spending time at the lacrosse fields watching his youngest son play HS lacrosse or road-tripping to Boston to see his two older sons in college. He also is an avid runner and has completed numerous 5k, 10k, half marathons, and full marathons, but now just runs for fun!
