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.

Dr. Richards is a most excellent primary care/internal medicine physician. He is intelligent, hears everything you say and remembers details. He is polite, skilled, very up to date on diagnostic tests that others never seemed to know about. He is acessible, and he and/or his wonderful staff respond promptly and caringly to calls and to deliver test results the moment they come through. If you need him, he will fit you in soon. He has referred me to the most excellent specialists. Dr Richards recognizes what your needs are and respectfully acknowledges the value of a patients thoughts and input. He is everything you could ever want in a dr but thought didnt exist. He is who every other dr should strive to be. He is a well educated, excellent diagnostician who is consistently respectful and genuine. I feel safe in his care, because he is the kind of dr you know will be there for you and who will efficiently and wisely guide your healthcare. Im so grateful to have him as my dr.
