He suggested that my hand weakness was because I was "old" (29 years old). Lisa, his scheduler, would never call me back to make an appointment for surgery and would tell staff in the office to lie and say she wasn't there. I could not get her to call me back or to answer the phone for a very long time. I had to physically go into the office and call on my cell phone and then call the staff's bluff when they said she was gone. I walked up to the desk and told them I could see her standing there.

He does not have good beside manner at all. We where referred to him for a broken arm and one of his office aides burnt my sons arm with the saw- by watching her she clearly didn’t know what she was doing. He was so insensitive about it and acted like I was so off base to suggest additional training so no harm comes when they remove casts in the office. From other reviews it doesn’t seem that he treats the person- just the disorder. I always stear clear of doctors like.

Unless your problem is texbook, you will be disappointed. I've been dealing with a UCL tear for 7 months! Every time I go in, I rarely even see Dr. Richards. Always his PA. The only reason i know it's a UCL tear is because I requested a copy of my imaging studies! This Dr. basically shrugged hus shoulders at my case and said "I dunno"? Seeking a second opinion, not in this practice!

I was incredibly disappointed. He spoke to me with a chip on his shoulder from our first appointment. He performed surgery on my hand and when it was finished he walked out and I haven't heard a word since. He didn't check in with my family who was waiting to see how I was and he wasn't at my post op appointment. He told me the recovery would be about 10 days. It has been over 5 weeks and I still don't have normal function back.

I was very disappointed with the way we were treated by Dr. Richards. I will never return and would never refer anyone to him. He didn't not explain anything and acted as if he did not have time for us.
