Outstanding Dr. Very personable and knowledgeable. Extremely satisfied with his expertise.
Dr. Richard’s was great! He explained things in a way that I could understand and made sure to answer all of my questions before the procedure. The surgery went well and I have full use of my hand again after only 2 weeks!
Dr. Richards takes time to explain the medical care and answer all questions thoroughly. His interaction and demeanor help establish trust in his care plans. Back office staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
