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.

I saw Dr. Richards after not being in agreement with my original doctor about the condition or operability of my knee. Within minutes it was obvious we were 100% in sync. Surgery next day and the suspected problem was found and corrected. Follow up the next day and I can't say enough good things about the time he spent explaining every detail of what he found and fixed. I'd recommend him, and he will be my choice in the future for any other orthopedic care I may need.

I almost fell causing an injury to my right leg and knee. I saw Richard Richards (he does not deserve the title Doctor). He was not very informative, did not explain things, was rude and rushed thru the little exam he did perform. He gave me a cortisone injection. When I returned, he asked how the physical therapy went. I wasn?t sent for any. He asked how the injection worked.I told him it a little, but I was still in pain. He was offended that I would even ask questions.
