    I like Dr. Richards. It was my first interaction with her; she was stepping in for Dr. Peters who wasn't feeling well. Dr. Richards described well the intended treatment plan and she was very responsive to my questions and concerns. Sometimes I feel that doctors are trying to hide information from me, but I did not feel that way with Dr. Richards.
