Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

After 19 years with Dr Richards I can say that he is very caring and very professional in all his work. He uses the latest and best technology to achieve great results for clients He also has wonderful staff and support personnel.

Takes pain seriously, and makes sure you are comfortable . Explains as he goes work needed, shows scans and x rays, explains procedures as he goes . Office staff very helpful. The hygienist I use, Cadence is best I have ever had and In my 70ties I have had many!

I have been a patient of Dr. Richard's for years. Very professional, clean, friendly, knowledgable team. I have never waited more than 10 minutes from the time I arrived for my appointment. Always greeted with smiles and an upbeat, positive attitude. Attention to detail and full, transparent communication about both the good as well as any irregularities observed. Overall assessment is that I actually enjoy going to my dental appointments.....they make me feel like family.

Yesterday Cadence, dental hygienist, and I worked collaboratively to have her clean the teeth of my 94 year old client. Understandably, the client was very apprehensive at the previous very brief appointment to accomplish the cleaning, which ended abruptly after a few minutes. With much coaching, education, and TLC from Dr. Richards' staff (Cadence and Debi, office manager), and myself we had fantastic results and accomplished "the mission". My client applied proudly her lipstick and admired her much improved smile (and dental health) as soon as she got into my car for our ride back to her assisted living home. When healthcare professionals take extra time and care to collaborate effectively, our clients/patients win! Karen Wolfrom, MSA, RNC, CMC Aging Life Care Consultant Hendersonville, NC

We’ve been with Dr. Richards practice since we arrived 10 years ago. I have the highest regard for him as a dentist and his staff. The sincere kindness shown by all is a testament to his management and leadership, something that is rare for someone in medicine or dentistry. He stays current with his knowledge as well as his tech related resources in his office that makes for an invaluable visit. He provides the continuing education to his staff. I have so much respect for the service they provide.

Perfect, as always. Smiling receptionist greeted me by name Dental technician came and got me, no waiting. She remembered our conversation from six months ago and picked up where we left off. She cleaned my teeth. Dr. Richards declared me good to go, and I was out of there. They’re the best.

For someone who does not like dental issues, i was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and informative all the staff were at this office. They have state-of-the-art equipment and were able to provide me with a lot of information about my oral health, Dr. Richards is very knowledgable and asks lots of questions, to my benefit. I highly recommend this dental practice.
