"Even though the doctor asked a lot of questions I felt like they weren't really listening to my answers. It seemed mechanical. Follow up notes were made on my chart with answers that had notes regarding things we never discussed"

"I am more impressed with Dr Richman with each visit - she is so intelligent and intuitive about my case, and I feel like she goes above and beyond at each appointment. I don't ever feel like a patient that she has to reacquaint herself with, and she always remembers my issues and treatments, as well as my other doctors and what they're doing for me. She coaches and informs, and does so in a friendly and approachable manner. I've see a lot of doctors over the past 3 years, and she is by far the one that I trust the most."
