Patient Reviews
Jan 29, 2025
Absolutely unprofessional. Megan from his office called me 3 hours prior to my appointment to canceled it. Stating that the required requested labs were not completed. I was never asked or requested to get "additional labs" when I called back to get answers couldn't even speak with DR. Richards office. The person on the phone got some BS message about why they canceled my appointment. It is already difficult enough to get an appointment, make the time, and be seen. I still don't have any request to get additional labs and sill have not been contacted by DR. Richards office. Healthcare is broken.
