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.

Where did you go
Dr Perkins passed. John richards left I was told he went to Lexington ky. I would do anything to get my records from there. Johnny Richard's was one of the best dr I had ever seen. He polite listens to patients and def is not there for the money but rather to help. My son a marine now in Japan use to love seeing dr richards bc of his boots. He called him dr with the cool boots. He treated me very well and wrote down every single symptom. He didn’t give a cover diagnoses ever! Every other dr in our town does that. J richards was actually our last MD, everyone else left is nurse and has to get permission for anything. I can’t even get bendryl shot since he has been gone! Come back. Anyone know where he left to?

Personal Service w a caring physician
I get consistently personable attention whenever I schedule a visit with my PCP, John Richard. He listens well, includes me in the problem-solving process of charting my way forward to treat my challenges, and makes me feel like he really does care about my good health and wellness. I don't go to the doctor often, just once a year some years, to get my annual check-up, and that's a good thing because many times when I am in his waiting room, I truly use it to WAIT. This is the price I pay for having a doctor who takes the time he needs with ME, once I get into his exam room myself. So, if you book an appointment with this doctor, be sure to take something to do in the waiting room, so you won't be put off by your (potential) delay to be seen by him, at your appointed time. Some days he is really busy.

Dr. Richard has true concern for every one of his patients. I have been to many, many doctors and Dr. Richard has the best manner; teaching proactive solutions based on his knowledge, passion, and concern for others. Wait times can be long, but each patient gets the time they need with Dr. Richard, and that is irreplaceable to me. He also has a great staff that has positive attitudes and Dr. Richard’s concern for patients. I suspect impatient people, and those who just want a doctor for refills, are where any bad reviews come from. To me he’s the best doctor, with the best practice, that I’ve ever been to.

Dr. Richard have been my family doctor for almost twenty and I look forward for many years with him. He make you feel comfortable when you sick knowing that he knows what exactly is wrong with you and treat you as such. Would recommend him to anyone.

He is very rude,doesn't explain anything, always in a hurry, prescribed me a lot of different medicine, drug test every month for no reason, taking away the medicine I need. Too long waiting on him. Would tell everyone not to see him!

Dr. Richard is a very knowledgeable Dr. that explains in terms anyone can understand. I also work on healthcare and in my 20 yrs as a nurse I've never seen a doc with a better bedside manner. He also was able to diagnosis and treat me correctly after other docs failed to.

Dr Richard is probably the coolest most down to earth doctor I have ever met. You can ask him anything and he will tell you exactly what you need to know and probably have a story or 2 to back it up!
