Patient Reviews
Aug 25, 2024
Dr. Richards performed a hernia repair surgery on me in June. The surgery went well and he followed up with me before I left the hospital. During follow up appointments since then he has demonstrated that he cares for his patients and is concerned with their recovery. All members of his staff are friendly and professional.
