Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Richards?
We have been seeing Dr. Richards for 3 years now for my son's nystagmus. The wait is usually quite long but they do warn you ahead of time to be prepared to be at the office for 2-3 hours because Dr. Richards usually conducts dilated eye exams so they take you back first, he looks at him, then you go back and wait after they administer the dilating drops. All of his staff is always so nice and helpful, and while Dr. Richards does have a bit of a blunt way of communicating, you can tell he cares very much about his patients and has their best interest in mind.
