Patient Reviews
Mar 27, 2024
Dr. Richer operated on both my elbows (2020 & 2023), for torn common tendons. My right elbow is better than 100% after 3 years. I’m 10 weeks post op from my left elbow and 95% healed & I’m confident it will be better than 100% once I build my strength back up. He doesn’t push for surgery unless absolutely necessary, so we did explore other options with my left elbow before agreeing to surgery. He is kind, humble and has a great bedside manner, and an amazing surgeon. The physical therapy team in Fairfield (Lori & Megan) are fantastic too. I would recommend him and his PT team 100x overHe also treated my daughter on multiple occasions. He found the tiniest fracture in her elbow that most would not be able to diagnose, and when she had another elbow injury, I pushed for surgery, he said to wait, and he was right, wasn’t necessaryIt’s unfortunate that one person, who left 2 negative reviews are bringing Dr Richer’s 5-star rating down.
