About Me
Dr. Sara Russo is a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic surgeon who is passionate about delivering high-quality, thorough care with a personal touch. Known for taking the time to address each patient’s concerns, Dr. Russo believes in building strong, lasting relationships through attentive listening, education, and expert guidance.
Originally from Toronto, Dr. Russo completed her medical degree at the University of Toronto before moving to the U.S. to continue her training. Following a research fellowship in cutaneous oncology at Yale University, she completed a competitive dermatology residency through the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, where she served as Chief Resident in her final year. Dr. Russo went on to pursue advanced fellowship training in Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology at the University of Miami, honing her skills in complex skin cancer surgery and reconstructive techniques.
Dr. Russo chose dermatology for its blend of visual diagnostics, procedural artistry, and long- term patient impact. She has a particular interest in surgical dermatology and is committed to precision, aesthetics, and achieving optimal outcomes for her patients. She also enjoys seeing the transformative journey of her patients’ skin health and takes pride in being part of that
change.
Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Russo is dedicated to advancing the field through education. She regularly volunteers her time to teach dermatology residents and medical students and plays an active role in training the next generation of dermatologic surgeons.
Outside the clinic, she enjoys scuba diving, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and hiking. Dr. Russo lives with her husband and their beloved Cavapoo, Coco.
