Dr. Richards is very easy to talk to and he has a phenomenal bedside manner

Dr. Richards is very easy to talk to and he has a phenomenal bedside manner. He uses the technical terms and then explains what they mean. Definitely the best elbow specialist I have ever gone to.

I recommend them as an office team.:)

Dr. Richards has been wonderful to work with. He fixed my son’s broken thumb with pins and was great to communicate kindly and clearly with him at his level, as well as with me, the parent. He was very thorough and understandable, patient and calm and clear. He did a clean, good surgery inserting the pins and setting my son up to heal well. We anticipate a good recovery from here. We appreciate Dr. Richards. His staff was also all very professional, cooperative, helpful and friendly. I recommend them as an office team.:)

Dr. Richard's is the best hand surgeon!

Dr. Richard's is the best hand surgeon! I wouldn't go anywhere else. He is friendly, caring, patient, thorough and very knowledgeable. He has done 4 surgeries for my family and each experience has been wonderful.

Two 👍‘s up, and it is highly recommended.

Dr. Richards is terrific. He comes in and makes you comfortable, builds a friendship, and then fights out what is wrong and what can be done. He isn’t overbearing and listens. He puts all options on the table and, as a “Team,” figure out what will be the best. The staff is fantastic and there to get things scheduled and work with your schedule and concerns. Two 👍‘s up, and it is highly recommended.
