I went to see Dr. Richards about a lump in my breast. I was scheduled immediately and Dr. Richards spent ample time with me answering all my questions and concerns. I felt that he and his staff were compassionate and caring. My lump ended up being benign, but at no time did Dr. Richards belittle my concern or scare me about it. I would definitely refer my friends and family to him.
