Patient Reviews
Dec 17, 2023
I was treated by Dr Richter in April of 2007 while he was at Mc Kay Dee hospital in Ogden Utah. I had been in a motorcycle accident and had fractured all the long bones in my right leg. He worked for 6 months trying to save the lower leg before I asked him to just take the leg. He tried to talk me out of the amputation but I persisted. He performed the surgery and I believe in the end he saved my life.
