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 saw Richer for cataract surgery in my right eye in 2010 and again for cataract surgery in my left in 2011. In both instances vision in the eye to be operated on was being lost. I chose monovision with a distance lens implant in one eye and a close up in the other. I also wished to opt out of the customary general anesthesia prior to the procedure. He was absolutely terrific, the surgery went smooth and my vision never better. 5 years later, I still couldn't be happier with him as a doctor.
