“I chose to become an oncologist because I found the field of oncology to be constantly evolving, changing with the development of new therapies, and rewarding in its care of the whole patient. After nearly 30 years in practice, I still feel the same way. And to be effective, in my experience, depends on always being compassionate and thoughtful… and focused on giving the person in my care the sense that there is always hope. We have appropriate treatment options for every step in your or your loved one’s cancer journey. And you’ll always have me by your side.”

  • "From the moment I called the office to make an appointment to the receptionist that greeted me with a smile and put me right at ease I knew I was in a different type of doctors office. I met with Dr. Richards and I was talked to like a person, he let me explain my situation and concerns and then asked me questions that let me know Iā€™d found the right doctor get to the bottom of my health concern. He explained everything, was proactive and involved the staff who could help me and I left with a feeling that I was where I needed to be to get to the root cause of my health problems. Thank you to the entire staff and Dr. Richards for showing care and concern."
