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.

I have been going to him for 10 years. He is fantastic, i feel that he truly cares about me and my health. His nurse/office staff is great as well, they handle all paperwork quickly . If i could give 6 stars i would!

Dr. Rikhter is an outstanding physician: knowledgeable, thoughtful, and approachable. His associate, Dr. Lloyd, is also an excellent physician. This is a great practice overall. I have been a patient of Drs. Rikhter and Lloyd for 10 years and highly recommend them.

Dr. Rikhter was listed on my insurance list of approved doctors so I tried him today. He works out of an unassuming office near my home. His staff was courteous and efficient and I can honestly say Dr. Rikhter is the kindest and most knowledgeable doctor I have ever met. He is now my primary care physician for life. A true hidden gem in the medical field.

Incredible Internal Medicine Physician – Jan 21, 2021

Dr. Rikhter has been my physician since 2009. I found his practice while I working internationally and was having problems. After pulling luggage through airports for 10 years, he helped my understand the symptoms and how to address the real problem. I continue to see him, as does my husband. He is a thoughtful physician who provides sound advice, does not rush the appointment, is highly intelligent, intuitive and kind.

My parents turned me on to him. He's very good, as are the other doctors in his office. He has a heavy Russian accent, sometimes hard to understand, but it's a lovely accent. He's a genuinely good man, and a great Doctor! Ace coon boom IMO! You won't be sorry you went, a genuinely good Doctor is hard to find these days. Not anymore, now you've found one, look no further, you found what you were looking for here!!! I promise!!!

Went for an annual routine exam per friend's recommendation and regretted that I did. 1. Had to wait almost an hour with the appointment. Not a busy office and was no reason to wait other then a doctor chatting with another patient. 2. Provided new insurance info to the office stuff but my old insurance was still billed. Had to spend hours on the phone with outsourced billing department to correct that. 3. Make sure to verify on your own what is covered by insurance as a part of wellness visit as this doctor's office not doing it and ordered tests that were not covered. I was billed for it by the lab, but was not given an option to decide if I need this test done. You don't have any control over what lab tests are done and how much it will be out of your pocket. Stuff was non-responsive for months and when finally got a response was rude and unprofessional with denial to address. Do not recommend if you want to save time and money.

Dr Rikhter is one of the most caring individuals i have ever met. He listens, sympathizes and takes action to resolve any heath problems you may have. He hears you and does not be-little the way some so called medical professionals treat you. If you need a Dr that not only listens but truly hears your physical complaints and then takes action, you should schedule a consultation. You will not regret and you will find help.

Dr. Rikhter has been our family doctor for 9 years. He is not only compassionate but is incredibly intuitive and intelligent. We are not certain how he manages to take the same extensive care for all his patients but are grateful for the impact he has made on our peace of mind and health.

Dr. Rikhter is a fantastic doctor. My wife and I both see him and have since around 2001. He’s very attentive, takes his time with you and explains things well. If you’re looking for a great primary care physician, I highly recommend him!

Dr Rikhter is the best and most caring GP I have ever seen and I lived in three countries. Technically he is very sound. The care is personal to the extent that we consider him as family
