The check in person was not pleasant and had the glass doors closed so I had to speak loudly to give her my personal information such as my address, DOB, etc, not professional in my opinion

In the waiting room there was a man making phone calls with his cell phone on speaker. I never want to hear someone else's phone conversation. Someone should have told him he couldn't do that. His phone was very loud and the 3 people behind the desk definitely heard it and did absolutely nothing. He was on his 3rd call when I finally got called to the back, which was an hour after my appointment time.

Dr. Richards is excellent. He listened to all of my concerns and came up with a great plan. I'm very glad to be in his care.

I was there for a "wellness exam". The doctor listened to my heart and ordered some medication I requested. I had lab work done. Not sure why I had to drive all that way to have a stethoscope placed on my chest. This is not the fault of my doctor or the hospital but, all the same it is frustrating. Thankfully I am healthy. I do feel that if I had a problem the doctor would look into it.

Nothing. My visit was productive & helpful. Dr Richards is a fantastic doctor.
- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/8/2025
The doctor never touched me. He did not listen to my heart and lungs. Didn't offer to shake my hand. This was my first visit with him; not knowing anything about me, I thought he would at least listen to my heart and lungs. That's an integral part of billing for an office visit, so I'm wondering if this is fraud? How can you have a one on one visit with a physician and not be touched, and still bill a visit level?

Every thing was fine.

Front staff seemed a bit hesitant behind window to acknowledge us. Could have been more proactive greeting us.

No changes needed. I received excellent care.

The intake forms I filled out in the office seemed to be redundant to the ones I filled out online, and the necessity of doing it twice was not clear.

There is nothing else that needed to be done. Dr Richards is thorough, kind, respectful and he listens to what you tell him. I couldn't be more confident in my care . The scribe could have introduced himself, but he did smile and make eye contact, which nice, and different from the last scribe.

Registration workers need to open the glass when talking to you. Some seems to look lazy.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/26/2025
Dr. Caleb Richards is the most respectful doctor I've seen in years. He genuinely listened to my concerns, went over treatment options with me in detail, and took into account my previous experiences and opinions. He was non-judgemental and did not present any bias. I left the appointment feeling confident that my care is in good hands.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/25/2025
It might have been in text, but I was unaware that a person in the role of a scribe was going to be in the room with us. It threw me off and made me feel less open to share. The person was nice, I just did not expect them to be there. For it being my first visit, the DR did not ask many questions. I have an eating disorder, and he never asked about my health as a whole. He would ask me "what else?". I'm not the doctor so I don't know what information you want to know.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/20/2025
I can't think of any way you could have offered me any more support or improved trust and respect while you cared for me.

K keep up the good work
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/16/2025
When issues come up really listen and do what you say you will do. Don't overlook the issue when it's staring you in the face. The patient knows their body and when something is wrong and how they feel. I know my body and I have had most of my problems long enough to know when something wrong. Especially when blood work shows there is something else is wrong.

The scribe could be more personable, or at least smile and say hello. The doctor's assistant was lovely. She was friendly and introduced herself and listened intently. She also offered good feedback. Dr Richards, was, as always, awesome. He discusses everything needed and answers all questions simply and completely. He makes you feel cared for.
