He has a great bedside manner and you can tell that he is focused on helping his patients. Wish he still had his own practice. Explains everything so that you can understand what is going on.

Dr. Richey seemed to be a very high level doctor who was skilled in various areas of medicine, who possessed state-of-the-art equipment in his office, and who was one who REALLY knew what he was doing. He was very meticulous in attending to every matter immediately--making and ordering all of the necessary and appropriate referrals and tests, while exercising very good judgment in doing so. Dr. Richey found out things that were abnormal in my body that no other doctor ever had and that were very vital for me to know. He is the epitome of compassionate care. The rating I give Dr. Richey is five stars plus.

This Doctor is experienced, intelligent & has great bedside manners. He explains medical terminology so that you can understand it without making you feel unintelligent. He takes time to communicate your issues to your family. He leaves nothing to chance and is detailed.

If you are seriously ill, you are Dr. Richey's top priority. He will be at your bedside at 5:00 a.m. He knows internal medicine and doesn't mind reading the riot act to other medical personnel if he needs to in order to have things done right. As your health improves, you may have to wait until Dr. Richey finishes with his more critical patients. That's the kind of doctor I want caring for my health.
