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.

Best service, if you do not need anything, he does not do it!

Dr. Richards has been helping me for six years. As a fellow surgeon, I feel that he shows great empathy in addition to great skill. Where some surgeons will reject scientific questions, he welcomes them and can back up his answers with science, rather than just opinions. I would highly recommend him to anyone who might benefit from his services. DrNBN

Dr. Richards and his staff have been nothing short of AMAZING! I had breast reduction/lift surgery and I am extremely happy with my results. My scars are healing wonderfully and I couldn’t ask for better looking breasts. He is highly recommended. ????

Ruined my life. He gives you consent forms minutes before surgery and fails to inform you of any risks. His patient coordinator lied to my face. He destroyed my face and health and now I have to spend tens of thousands of dollars trying to repair what he did to me, and it will never be as good as it was before. He pushes unnecessary procedures on patients, does them incompetently, and then refuses to recognize the issues. Please take care of yourself and don’t let him touch you. I regret all.

I am very happy with the cheek lift and eye work Dr. Richards performed on my face. He also did buccal fat pad removal. Now my face looks more normal. Dr. Richards had the intelligence and insight to see exactly what I needed. Other doctors could not fix my face. I had the traditional face lift and the doctor did not address my fat cheeks. I would not have had the results that I have if it was not for Dr. Richards. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

Dr. Richards is a world renowned board certified surgeon. He cares deeply about his patients and has taken plastic surgery to a level where it's art. I have had excellent results from several procedures with him - he makes you look more beautiful while looking natural!

I have been a patient of Dr. Richards for several years and have been consistently happy with his work. He is honest, kind, thorough and quite frankly, brilliant. His results are incredibly natural. It's a bonus that he offers bio-identical hormone therapy and the services of a fabulous esthetician. His nurse and office staff are delightful.

Dr. Richards is an incredibly skilled plastic surgeon and I'm beyond thrilled with my cheek lift! I consulted with several surgeons before him and realized his approach is very individually tailored to the patient’s specific bone/muscle structures, which was important to me. He explained what results to expect with my cheek lift and was very honest about which procedures that I didn’t need at this point, which I very much appreciate. I will be going back to him for future procedures as I age!

Dr Richards and his staff were wonderful to me. During my first consultation Dr Richards explained everything in detail and my surgery was exactly as he said it would be. Very successful!!! Would not hesitate to refer him to family or friends.

Do not recommend this doctor. I came to this doctor for another procedure but they were pushing me to get my neck cut while I have a perfect neck. I felt doctor and his assistant say/do anything for money.
