About Dr. Richards

I specialize in Primary Care. I became a healthcare provider because I feel it is important to help take care of my community and help identify, manage, and prevent diseases that are so prevalent in southern Louisiana. My patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I’m a great listener and teacher.

My little something extra

I’m a big sports fan especially football and basketball.

He is a very good listener and he has a great deal of patience and understanding.My daughter is a registered nurse and she goes to the doctor with me sometimes to make sure I tell the doctor everything that is going on with my health. She usually has a million questions and suggestions for Dr. Richards and he patiently listens to every single one and he addresses every one. Going to appointments with Dr. Richards is like going to visit a friend but on a professional level. Great Doctor, Great caregiver, wonderful person.

Yes, I feel comfortable with the doctor. He's always attentive to any questions or anything you have. His nurses are really nice. The facility is really nice. And I'm so happy I found him, I guess, a year or two ago for my family doctor. I would let anybody know how good he is.
