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.

He does not like to assist when patients are expressing serious concerns or pain. He’s very dismissive of the patients pain and discomfort. Glad he is not my primary doctor, I just unfortunately had to see him because my doctor was booked and the pain was that severe.

I love Dr. Richard. I credit him with saving my life when I had DVTs and PEs. And, my daughter's life when she had cellulitis on her forhead from a cat bite and her pediatrician, who she had seen 30 minutes prior, told her she was fine and healing fine. He is my doc for life.
