This is my first baby, so I don't have experience with other doctors, but I wouldn't want to. This doctor is AMAZING!! I'm very excited to deliver my baby boy with him ;)

Indicated a problem on ultrasound.Never did a follow up until major problems developed. Dr. Riche said "Do you really want to have C Section for a baby thats probably not going to survive." Great doctor until something goes wrong.

Dr. Riche has been my doctor for several years and he is the best doctor ever! He is very intelligent and has a heart of gold. I have complete trust and faith in him. He has helped me through a very traumatic experience and I can truly say I trust this man with my life. Dr. Riche gets an A+ from me and my family.

Dr. Riche' is by far the most caring and knowledgeable doctor I've ever gone to. He is very soft spoken and sensitive to the needs of his patients. He is also very gentle. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He delivered my first child and I'm very sad that he won't be able to deliver my second as we have moved to another area.
