Dr Richey is the best cancer doctor. She is very smart and cares about her patients and makes sure they have the best treatment for their unique case. We love her.

She doesn't need to be in medicine. She undoubtedly has never had anyone she loved struggle with Cancer. She is condescending and arrogant. I would give anything if we had somewhere else to go. A doctor that shames you for wanting a second opinion has something to hide. Shame on her.

She doesn't tell the patient the truth about the illness. She's interested in the money west clinic can bring in, she really doesn't care about the patient.

Dr. Richey wanted to make my family believe she really cared, but after the second appointment, it was clear that she either didn't care or didn't really know what she was talking about. Truthfully, I don't think she knew what she was talking about.
