    I like this doctor a lot, I ended up keeping my insurance because of him not to realize he’s not going to be practicing in Las Vegas. I hope I’m pleased with the new doctor.

    He is the best doctor I have ever had. He made me feel comfortable and always helped me with all of my concerns. I recommended him to my coworkers and my husband and daughter also were seeing him. He definitely will be missed.

    Very poor communication. I think i made a mistake by choosing him originally. Am a little hesitant to change to another doctor within same office.

    Because Dr Richards is my provider and he is definitely a compassionate and professional Dr, he actually makes me feel like he is truly concerned about me and my health instead of treating me like the opposite of treating me As if I'm just number. Trust I've experienced the worst with some providers. Dr Richards is a very knowledgeable and experienced Dr. That I have the opportunity to call my Dr the last 10 years. Therefore I feel that many patients should be able to experience.
