Dr. Richter is terrible. I found out on a Friday my colonoscopy was scheduled for that Monday. That meant myself, and a friend, had to get the day off with no notice. Also, he never called in the medication that is required to be used prior to the procedure. This man is an absolute bumbling moron. I cannot believe he is a doctor!

Have had a colonoscopy there. The whole staff is pleasant, cheerful and kind. Dr. Richter is not in a rush and answers any questions you may have. Is a caring, knowledgable physician. Wish all my doctor visits were this pleasant.
