Excellent doctor! Great experience as usual.

I feel so lucky to have this outstanding doctor who has helped me so

Dr Richards always takes the time to go over every aspect of my health issues and explains everything to me do i can understand it. He always gets back to me and takes into consideration all of my medical issues not just pulmonary as my health issues effect each other. I cant say enough about him as a Dr [redacted].

Sometimes when you do not see a provider for a long length of time and they do not review your records, it sometimes like you never saw them before and if the patient that has to bring them up to speed. This was not the case with Dr. Richards. He knew everything about my history and was completely up to speed on who I was. His first line of questions was exactly as it should be to fill in the time from when I last saw him to now. It is a good feeling when a Doctor is present in an appointment and you are his priority. A+ VISIT

Caring and attentive provider.

Dr. Richards is amazing. He carefully listens to everything you say and he comes up to solutions to any difficulties or problems that you're having. I can't speak more highly about him or any more highly about him. He's fantastic.

Very good

Dr. Richards was very knowledgeable and kind. He showed me my lungs health issues. I was happy to met him in person. [redacted]

He is great, I have put a lot of trust in his opinion of my condition. But we are still unclear of my diagnosis which is frustrating but are working to get answers.

Dr. Richards is the man. He was prepared for this new patient appointment, having clearly read through my chart and medical history from Tufts Pulmonology. He was patient, personable, perceptive, and legitimately funny. He was not dissuaded by the relative vagueness and complexity of my case and seemed genuinely up for a challenge. It meant a lot to come out of the appointment with new things to try (a new prescription, a new test) to learn more about what might be wrong with me.

I like Dr. Richards very much and the people in her offices are wonderful, especially the girl that had to do my testing, a nurse, I presume, a caretaker. But Dr. Richards is wonderful. He explains everything to everybody and you never have to wait for him longer than five to ten minutes when you schedule for your appointment and the tests I had to take. I've already recommended him to two other friends and I thank you because he's, I wish all my doctors explained things to me in English and simple language as he does. It's a pleasure to work with someone like him and his staff.

Dr Richards is the most caring, kind, professional provider I have ever had. He is thoughtful and explains everything really well. I feel very fortunate to have him as my pulmonologist. I would rate him a "100 out of 10" if I could.

obviously super intelligent, capable, and experienced in the field. super good communicator

care provider was professional and pleasant.

I would return to him.

Dr. Richards is amazing. He's caring, compassionate, and I feel so blessed to have him as one f my providers.

ONE OF THE BEST

Dr. Richards not only is very knowledgeable in his field of pulmonology, but also shows great compassion and availability to me.

He was honest and sincere

Professional. Friendly. Good listener. Very knowledgeable.

Dr. Richards is a very compassionate physician, and clearly an expert in bronchiectasis. [redacted]

Dr. Richards is a skillful and caring doctor who has always been there for me. Even when I was just in the emergency room, he made sure he came by just to visit with me and let me know that he cared. I would make sure anyone in my family or friends would see Dr. Richards. Thank you.

This was a scheduled appointment so it might better to expand the options to answer that question. I like to say how much I value and appreciate Dr Richards. He's an invaluable asset to MGH, I've been under His care for about six years now, and it's not an understatement to say He saved My life! I was exposed to mold from China that was embedded in Ultrasound Systems that I was working on and I inadvertently had inhaled the spores. Many months later I had lost almost seventy pounds, I lost my sense of Smell and Taste wasn't eating or sleeping. I was unable to lay down to sleep due to the Mucous in my lungs, My Doctors at York Hospital unable to Help Me. Now I know this might be hard to believe and I'm not sure if I've even told Dr. Richards this but I PRAYED to God to lead Me to a Dr. That could help Me. I logged onto MGH's website and He was the first Doctor I found. He immediately began an in-depth interview with Me asking a lot of questions about My life, where I lived, worked and it was during His investigation that I recalled the event that I had initially disregarded. The opening of those Mylar Bags that held the Ultrasound Systems and the Mold They contained. His relentless inquires proved His determination to Help Me! All the details are in My records at MGH. Words can't express My Gratitude for His Care! Now I'd also like to point out that everyone at MGH that I've had the pleasure of encountering during this time have been so Kind and Professional! I would like to encourage Your Management Staff to recognize the importance of each member of the Hospital staff.

Very polite and knowledgeable. Truly caring care. They were excellent.

Dr Richards is kind and caring He is so knowledgeable about my condition He developed a plan and I feel well cared for

Lucid explanations of medical issues pertaining to my bronchiectasis. Concise and patient. And he has a sense of humor!

I always feel well taken care of at this department.

Dr. Richards is great. I imagine most of his patients have somewhat complex histories, yet he listened and asked questions to get a better understanding of mine. He explained his plan to help me very clearly and allowed me to ask as many questions as I had. I believe Dr. Richards will be able to help improve my lung situation, which has been a problem for many years and I'm excited about the results.

Great physician!!

Dr Richards is very knowledgeable, kind and patient.

Glad he is my care provider

excellent communication

I enjoy my appointments with Dr Richards, I always learn something new from him. This time I was telling him I was using a humidifier next to my bed every night for my lung issues. He told me to stop immediately because the bacteria I have in my lungs thrives in moisture. I did not know that and I was glad Dr Richards stepped in to educate me on the use of humidifiers by people with bacterial lung infections. That's why my appointments are always important with Dr Richards. We spoke about many issues and they all were a benefit to me.

i really like Dr. Richards. I only wonder why he didn't listen to my heart and lungs. I din't realize it until I went home.

Dr. Richards himself came out to great me. He was completely thorough regarding my medical history. He took the time to go over in detail my CT scan, the results, if treatment was necessary, and explained why treatment wasn't necessary. Dr. Richards made me feel comfortable and well cared for.

This provider [redacted] hit the nail on the head. [redacted]

Wonderful care

I was exceptional impressed with Dr. Richards genuinely cares, he listened carefully to all my concerns, he explains questions in a way I can understand, I appreciated his sense of humor and willingness to help me, he is an excellent doctor that I would recommend to anyone who needs!

Exceeding expectations

Dr. Richards is excellent. My only issue is that even with a referral it took me a year (exactly) to get an appointment. He seemed shocked at that as well as the nurses. I'm so happy with him and he was worth the wait but that should not have to happen.

Excellent Explanations were clear, with examples that were visual which is helpful to understand the anatomy of the lungs and pulmonary passages

As always... spectacular!

DR. Richards was so informative a d explained my situation with me. I didn't feel rushed which is so unusual and answered all my questions. Now a days it's difficult to find that kind of Dr.

Tests, CT scan and Doctor visit all planned in the same day was wonderful. The doctor even had all of the results at the time we met and we could discuss them right away.
