Patient Reviews
Apr 25, 2024
Felt a pop in my tricep area while exercising and it didn't feel right after. Dr. Richards checked me out, said it was probably just a joint or random sound and said I'd be fine in a week. Went to my primary care doctor the next day, who immediately diagnosed a torn tricep muscle. Dr. Richards should have figured this out. I do not recommend him.
