“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.”

Dr Richard's and the other doctors I have I would have to give them a 100**** rating. You will be in good shape with them."

  • "The staff were very pleasant , waiting area was very clean. Dr. Richards was amazing. He stopped in my room to apologize to me for keeping me waiting. I have never had a dr do that before. They normally dont care how long they have you waiting. He was very professional, very patient friendly. He explained in detail what he was going to do to treat my issue. Just an amazing doctor. I would recommend him in heart beat. You just dont find physicians like him that often. He is definitely worth seeing."

  • "Dr Richards took his time answering my questions. He has a calming bedside manner and made me feel comfortable right away. He informed me that he would call me when he got the results of my bloodwork and he did. Very few doctors call themselves. The office staff were friendly and efficient as well."
