“Dr. Richards is wonderful! Listens and knows exactly what's going on. He has treated me on several occasions and I cannot recommend him enough!!”
Catherine W.April 15, 2026
“Dr. Richards, c. 12 years ago, operated on both my feet. My bones were protruding on the outside, causing me pain even when I wore soft slippers. He also corrected a hammer toe. After recovery, I walked around as if nothing happened.
His knowledge and bedside manner are excellent.
When it comes to the painful ordeal of having one's ingrown toenails clipped and removed regularly, he is very gentle, has definitely the hands of a surgeon. His response to my compliment: "Well, I do this a lot."
Highly recommend.”

An avid runner, his interest in athletics led him to pursue a career that would enable him to assist people with maintaining and improving their physical health. As such, he chose podiatry with a particular focus on sports medicine.
In 2006, Dr. Richards earned a bachelor's degree in Chemistry from The Ohio State University.

During this time, he expanded his knowledge of advancements in podiatric and surgical fields through continuing education courses on topics including limb deformity and clubfoot correction. He also shared his expertise with the medical community through presentations such as one on plantar fasciitis at the TRIARQ Foot & Ankle Symposium in 2011. Due to his stellar performance at Beth Israel Medical Center, Dr. Richards was chosen to serve as chief resident for a one-year term from 2012 to 2013.
Dr. Richards is currently attempting to run at least one full marathon in each of the 50 states.
