May 14, 2020
Today was my first visit with Dr. Richards and my second colonoscopy. Despite dealing with the COVD-19 pandemic, which has impacted the medical setting, I have nothing but praise for everyone from check-in to check-out. I recommend Dr. Richards. Well worth the hour and twenty minute drive.
