I have seen this doctor for a broken foot and a trigger thumb tendon release. Followed his orders on my foot and it has healed very well. Surgery to fix the trigger thumb, and was given the option of in-house procedure or hospital procedure. I chose in-house and was awake for the entire procedure. Great doctor to help keep my mind off what was happening and made sure I felt no pain. Since then I have met another person who has seen this doctor for a couple of procedures and she recommended him, as well.

Save yourself the time and hastle. Go somewhere else. This doctor does not return phone calls or give results to tests for up to a week after the test. Find a doctor who cares, because this one doesn't.

I was referred by many people to see Dr. Richards based on his knowledge and expertise. I was very pleased at the quality of care I received and also the attention given by him and his staff. I have recommended that my mother also see him and will continue to see Dr. Richards when needed. I am able to enjoy mountain biking and running again, where I was not able to prior to my treatment by Dr. Richards.

Excellent Doctor. He really cares and i am so happy i chose to see him. He talked to my about my injury and recommended i wait to see if i really need surgery. He takes a very proactive approach and is very kind. I totally recommend him for sports injuries. He helped me understand my injury and how i could return to racing again.

Dr Dan took care of my arm. I was really nervous about the end result. He did not try to talk me in to surgery, but finally it appeared to be the only option. It's been a few months and I'm a little older but it is healing nicely and I expect to be back to my normal activity soon. If you need an orthopedic surgeon to help you out I highly recommend him.
