Russell’s love for science, the human body and helping others is what inspired him to pursue a career in medicine. “I love seeing people of all ages and helping them through the many different stages of life and health, from young kids to elderly,” he said. “I enjoy forming relationships with patients and families and building that relationship and trust over many years to help benefit the health of the patient.”

No matter if they are short or long-term, he wants to help each person achieve their goals and live the most healthy and happy life possible.

Absolutely love Russell and the staff. I switched to him from Utica Park clinic midtown. 1 because he was closer 2 because the clinic in Tulsa was taking month to get appointments. Russell has listen to me and has done an amazing job with all that is wrong. I recommend him or Dr. Valintine to everyonE. Because of my health I typically see him at least twice a month. If you find yourself looking for a good Dr. that listens and cares this office definitely does just that.

I had an appointment with Russell Holder of Utica Park Clinic in Muskogee and will highly recommended him. I found him to be very helpful and took plenty of time to listen and address all of my needs and concerns. His prompt follow up and plan of action for me was both professional and personal. I plan to continue to see him for my future health concerns.

***Revised*** I previously left a lower rating and an indifferent review and the reason was I thought that I was a patient that slipped through the cracks and turns out it was a pharmacy error. My apologies and I would Highly recommend Russell!
