Dr. Richards sent a man from Orthofix who repeated lied to me that his bone stimulater was supposedly 100% covered by insurance. I know this happened to other patients. I am still being billed. Dr. Richards office no longer deals with this co. He will not help me out with this problem he created. I say shame on him!!!

I went to see Dr. Richards after dealing with debilitating headaches since 2007. Five years ago I was diagnosed with Intracranial Hypertension. Until now I was on meds and frequent lumbar punctures to drain excess spinal fluid. I came to Dr. Richards because a lumboperitoneal shunt was needed. I was scared and nervous. On the day of surgery, the entire staff was kind and understanding of my nerves. When Dr Ricahrds came to see me in pre-op I voiced my concerns about the surgical pain afterward and he was honest and upfront about the pain I would have and that he promised to take care of that for me with good pain meds. My surgery was two weeks ago so I cannot say that my headaches I was having prior to surgery are completely gone but I will say that it is considerably better. Dr. Richards is the kind of surgeon that you want for you or your loved ones. He takes time to answer all of your concerns and questions. He is so sweet, kind-hearted, intelligent, warm, and comforting. I will most definitely recommend Dr. Richards to anyone in need of a kind and compassionate surgeon. He is #1 in mine and my family's book. Gold star for him.

When Dr. Richards encouraged me to visit a public review site, such as this one, to assist other patients even before my scheduled surgery, I felt my health and well-being were his priority. He clearly wants the best outcome for his patients. I had a lumbar microdiscectomy in May, 2019. Nearly three months post-surgery, I can say my recovery was pain free and my overall health has greatly improved due to my increased activity level and complete elimination of pain. The staff and overall office environment were helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Richards and Michigan Spine and Brain Surgeons.

Dr. Richard's s kind, caring and compassionate doctor. I would recommend the doctor. Samer is the doctors assistant and I can't say enough about him. He answers my emails quickly. My prescriptions are always sent in at the appropriate time and he is great with follow up.

There are very few doctors who compare to Boyd Richards both from a standpoint of competence and personality. You will wait to see the doctor, but it will be worth every second. During the visits, he sits with you and will discuss your situation as long as you need, and he will consider every intricate detail you give him. He will give you his honest opinion on the best way to proceed and uses surgery as a ‘last-resort’ option-as it should be. When you are away from the office, he communicates through his assistant who I also found exceptional in the way he cared about how informed I was about my procedure; and how he worked to overturn a denial on my surgery. I would recommend Dr Richards and his office environment to anyone who needed a spine or brain surgery.

I am a health professional who required an anterior cervical decompression and fusion. I completed my research and his ratings were exceptional. At times health professionals aren’t the best patients. We generally take care of others. Dr. Richards took the time to address my concerns and his staff were more than helpful with postoperative issues. I feel as if he gave me my active life back. I awoke from anesthesia and have remained pain free. He is exceptional. I highly recommend him!
