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 see Dr Richey twice a year as he is overseer of my general health. I have been seeing him for 17 years, and though I moved 50 miles away, I still return to him. He is very patient, knowledgeable, and thorough in his practice. Most of all, he is trustworthy. Dr Richey was instrumental in correctly informing me of the benefits of natural immunity following a bout I had with Covid-19 back in early 2021. He didn't twist my arm one way or another, but simply gave me facts that helped me make an informed decision. This was during a time when NOT getting the vaccine was very unpopular, yet today I am grateful that I did not get the experimental drug injection. My last visit was for a 6 month follow-up along with lab work. My wait time was minimal, yet when Dr Richey entered the exam room he sat down and patiently reviewed my history & addressed my current needs. I appreciate his honesty and un-hurried approach to healthcare, and I am always satisfied before leaving.

I commute to Chattanooga, so using Dr. Richey as my PCP is driving in the "wrong" direction for me nowadays, but his care is so outstanding that I have returned to him after failing to find a satisfactory PCP in Chattanooga. Very glad to be back and will not be straying again! He takes the time to listen and answer questions and I feel his assessments are more accurate than other PCP's I've been to. I'm also grateful that his scheduling folks do not triple-book patients like so many doctors' schedulers do, so in all these years I have yet to experience a long wait at this practice. I do wish the practice had kept the 7 a.m. opening time because that was definitely more convenient for me, but it certainly isn't a deal-breaker.

There is no way I can put in to words how great Dr. Richey and his staff are. The people in the front office are always friendly and courteous and always have a smile on their face. Becky (Dr Richey's nurse) is (A number one) the best nurse I have ever dealt with in my 71 years of living. I have been dealing with Diabetes for over 48 years so I have dealt with a lot of nurses.

Excellent initial visit with Dr. Richey. He was thorough, his questions focused on current issues, he was knowledgeable and made my visit very relaxed and comfortable. Perhaps most importantly, he listened. I had a fairly new procedure last year, a LINX implant, and Dr. Richey's interest impressed me. My surgeon seems to be the only truly knowledgeable physician relating to the esophageal implant and I believe Dr. Richey will become well informed as we progress.

My visit with Dr. Wayne Richey on the 23rd of May was absolutely satisfying. I came home and everyone I talked to that day, I brought up the good news of what a good and thorough report I had just had. I don't know who was happier, my son or me. Dr. Richey listened to all my complaints and aches and pains and never seemed in a hurry. He went into detail to explain to me what tests he was performing and why. I was impressed with him and would like everybody to have as pleasant a doctor's vis

Dr Richey has always taken adequate time for my apppointments. He actually listens to your complaints and ideas. He does not resent my input and attempt to help with my treatment plan. He understands that the patient to doctor communication is often the key to successful treatment. Thumbs up from me! I may sound over enthusiastic but he is a huge improvement compared to my 60 years of Dr visits.
