Excellent Doctor, explained everything I needed to know. Did not need a immediate follow-up at that time; appt was in 2013, now 1 1/2 yrs later I am returning to see him. I would not consider seeing anyone else. My sister originally referred me to him, he was excellent. My sister would not send me to anyone that she did not totally trust. Thank You.

This provider does not accept Tricare prime insurance which was very disappointing for all the military that serve this great country.

I saw Dr Richey for an enlarged prostate. He is a very kind and understanding doctor. One of the best experiences I've had as I dont like doctors in general. But this one was very good at what he does. Would highly recommend.
