5 stars definitely, I highly recommend Dr Richter. He is very thorough and provides clear explanations of my shoulder pain! The staff also was very friendly and professional. They made me feel comfortable and well- cared for!!! Great job

Does not take interest in the patient’s thoughts, concerns nor questions. Lacks patient communication skills.

Would give a lower rating if possible. Felt like it was of time to go there this time. Never ever saw the doctor. Talked with a female nurse, dark hair, only. She did not look at my chart till after she talked with me for the five minutes, then she said that she needed to look at my chart. She did not come back until about 15 minutes later to tell me that she does not think my hand problems were arthritic. No further explanation on that statement. Highly disappointed in the doctor visit.
