Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Rich is a very caring doctor that takes good care of our family and calms our fears when we're worried about health matters.

He argues with me all the time, wont listen to the problems I have. He puts me on medication everytime I go even when not needed. He is always in a rush to get you out of the room. Instead of actually listening he inturpts you and gives out bogus meds that are not needed. Your better off figuring it out yourself.

Growing up his father was my doctor. When he retired I began going to Dean. When I had my children , he was their pediatrician and dr. As they grew up. I continue to go to him as well as my kids. He has a great bedside manner and is very thorough. Easy to talk to about even the most embarrassing things as well as a great listener and will and has done everything possible for ones health. He is fantastic and I recommend him 200%.

I had a great experience with our visit to Dr. Rich. Easy going and still professional. This Dr. as it turns out was the house physician for my father at a nursing facility and I was pleased with his care then too. Would recommend his practice to anyone who needs a down to earth, practical, family practice physician.
