Patient Reviews
Apr 13, 2023
Dr. Richards is not only my doctor, he is my friend. Been going to him probably ever since he started practicing. He takes his time with you and gets in no hurry. He will give it to you honestly. When he ever decides to retire don't think I'll ever find another primary physician like him.
