Dr. David Richards, MD

I recently had a very disheartening experience with Dr. Richard’s in the ER. After a motor vehicle accident, I went in seeking help, specifically requesting X-rays to assess my injuries. Instead, I felt dismissed and misunderstood. Dr. Richard’s inaccurately noted the opposite of what I communicated, including things I never said. His insistence on categorizing me as a 'drug seeker' was not only frustrating but also completely unfounded. I clearly expressed that I was not interested in pain medication; I just wanted a thorough examination and the appropriate imaging to evaluate my condition.Throughout my past visits, I’ve consistently felt treated with contempt, as if my concerns were nothing more than an inconvenience to him. It was particularly aggravating to hear him dismiss the very real fact that after an accident, the adrenaline can mask pain, which may not manifest until later. This lack of understanding about the body's response. I am in worse shape now & refuse to return.

Dr Richards paid attention to what we said and took the time to assess health issues. His recommendation for further tests saved patient’s life.

He didn't tell me everything that was wrong, and sort of blew me off when I had 2 serious issues found on CT scan
