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.

This doctor is one of the most rude and discerning physician I have ever met. I visited the ER room on the 7th 13th 21 of this year and left some stool sample and sputum samples to be taken up to lab only to find out that they would dismissed or lost in the process which is bunch of crap. The lack of concern and the dismissive attitude that I received from Dr Paul Richard's has left me with no choice but to move forward in reporting him to the CEO of Northside hospital and I will make sure that he is reprimanded and I will make sure that this goes noted if it's the last thing that I do I will not allow any doctor to dictate what is going on with me with a mere thoughts of highly doubting once condition without definitive results that is a professional and I will not stand for it and no should anybody else.
