Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very professional, experienced, friendly doctor!
Today was my first visit with Dr. Richard; he put me at ease immediately and patiently and succinctly explained many things about kidney function I had not known. He carefully reviewed all aspects of my issues in an easily understandable manner and allowed me to ask any questions along the way. His manner is refreshingly calm, honest, and reassuring. I feel I know so much more about my kidneys after today's visit; he was able to convey this information to me in a even, non-heavy handed way, which I appreciated. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Richard as my nephrologist.

Outstanding care. Dr. Richard goes above & beyond
Dr. Richard is an outstanding physician. He has assisted in the care of my mother and is very informative regarding her care. He goes above and beyond in researching nephrology, loves what he does and takes the time to explain the reasoning for the care being given. You can speak with him directly when needed. He goes the extra mile for his patients. I highly recommend him.
