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.

ACL repair
As a black belt & high level competitor in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, when I completely tore my ACL, I turned to Dr Richards to get my knee back to 100% so I could return to competing. Dr Richards was very highly recommended to me by several people who are also in the medical field. Dr Richards was very professional and helpful, always responsive to emails. Recovery was about 9 months. When I was finally cleared to return to training, I told Dr Richards that I had a tournament I wanted to work towards. I only had two months to prepare for a major tournament & wasn’t sure if I would be ready in time after almost a year of absolutely no training. But Dr Richards encouraged me to try and did a follow up visit with me one month out from the tournament. During my fights, the ultimate stress test for my knee, I felt no pain, no weakness. Flexibility, stability & range of motion felt great. I highly recommend Dr Richards to anyone looking for a sports surgeon.

I highly recommend Dr. Richard's.
Dr. Richard's is a great Dr. and surgeon. He recently did a surgical repair on my right hip. After my procedure when I returned home I needed to talk to him and he was quick to respond back to me.
