    I have recommended Dr Richter and others to family and friends.

    He was the most compassionate doctor I have seen for my back in a long time. He told me what was going on was not my fault. Gave me an exam, and told me there was a procedure that needed to be done. So that we can get better images so we can figure out the best course of action. There were things I didn't mention that he was shocked at. Because I have had to block out pain. He said I shouldn't of had to do that. Other doctors just blew me off when I mentioned them, he thought that they were important enough to mention. I was elated to here that everything that mattered to me. Mattered to him.

    The doctor was very thorough in his explanations of my condition and the possible remedies. We also talked about some other issues with my legs and nerve pain, he offered a solution for that as well. I thought his plan of action was well fought out!

    Dr. Richter BEYOND exceeded my expectations. He was able to tell me about conditions I didn't know I had, agreed that the number one thing right now is getting me up and moving, and we'll work together with the rest of my medical team and maybe treatment will change by we'll address them as they come one by one prioritizing him. He was getting messages for a long time but he stayed with me for an HOUR to discuss my health conditions.

    This was the first time I saw him for a condition discovered in a recent MRI. I was instantly comfortable with him. He was easy to talk to and understand. He explained the condition and answered all the questions my husband and I had regarding what would happen next and any future treatment.

    Dr. Richter was very very impersonal/dismissing/unempathetic/unprofessional/uninterested I could go on but prefer to not relive this appointment.
