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.

Incredibly impressed
My son experienced an exceptional level of care, concern, compassion, and kindness with the entire staff. The attention to detail, explanation of the possibles but not probables, setting expectations, and clear concise instructions for the course of treatment were impressive.

Excellent doctor
Dr. Riche was kind,listened to my concerns and addressed them even telling me about her experience with a foot injury. I felt well taken care of. She reviewed my X-rays and then pinpointed my exact pain areas.

Dr C Riche has been excellent in both finding the issues with foot ankle as well as surgically correcting all my foot ankle problems. Love her and recommend her for all your foot ankle needs.

Both times I have been to Dr. Riche she has been thorough and professional, yet very down to earth. She took into account my particular circumstances and made realistic recommendations. I would certainly choose her again.

Waste of my time
The dr. Informed me her surgery essentially didn't work, in my case, in a permanent way. She did not give a clear explanation why after 14 months I was back to where I started. It was like 'oh, well, sometimes it doesn't work.She did say she could have done it differently and in hindsight, she wished she had. Tax dollars, my money to pay for help, and my time were wasted. So, I am back to wearing toe spacers for the rest of my life.Not happy.

Dr Riche is very thorough in her explanation of the cause for your pain and the options available to remedy it. She’s also very professional but yet personable. I highly recommend her.

Excellent hep from Dr. Riche’s staff
I saw her staff, instead of Dr. Richie at my recent visit. They listened to my needs, went above and beyond to provide treatment, and sent me on my way with a plan for physical therapy follow-up. This was not my first visit, but every time I see her, I leave feeling so much better. I recommend her for any foot needs!

Excellent care!
Dr. Riche is a down to earth doctor who truly cares about her patients. My experiences have been positive. Wait time is minimal and she takes time to explain your condition and treatment options. Her office staff and nurses are kind and friendly. I rarely go to the doctor and experience extreme anxiety when I have an appointment. With Dr. Riche, I feel a trust that I have never experienced and am relaxed and comfortable. I give her the highest rating and highly recommend her to patients seeking orthopedic care.

Exceptional!
I originally saw Dr. Riche to get a second opinion and I'm so thankful that I did! She and her entire staff were awesome, caring and very empathetic! I appreciate how quickly they responded to my calls and got me in and out without delay for my visits! They truly listened to my concerns and were very respectful of my time. Dr. Riche's an excellent surgeon...I had no pain and after just a couple of months, not even a scar!
