I really like him as a doctor but every time I go to see him I am there at least two hours and I have never had to wait that long at a an eye appointment. Also I feel during the exam when a patient is being asked "Which is better 1 or 2, 3 or 4?" That is very annoying because sometime it all looks the same neither clear or worse. And I feel he gets irritable with the answers but, it really does not look any different. One time he told my daughter you are confusing me, and she felt the same as I did, there was no difference. So if that can be worked on neither of us would be irritable.

Fine, nothing extraordinary..the staff were not wearing any badges or names nor did they introduce themselves. I just said "excuse me??" to ask a question. I thought they were suppose to be "helpful & great" according to a past review. It seems the staff were not trying hard to completely disclose all the information to help me. The staff who did the initial exam was cold and does not relate to age appropriate patients. The greeting I received was a demand for more insurance info.

His office staff was wonderful! Checked my medical insurance to see if it would pay for my exam - which it did! (I've had this medical insurance for 4 years and never knew it would pay for eye exams.) Office staff was not pushy about purchasing glasses or ordering contacts, but answered all questions regarding glasses and contacts. Would highly recommend Dr. Richey and his staff!
