The Doctor is great. His LPN rushed me and tried to force me to clean the ink off after the allergy test ruining my white nail manicure. 1st world problem but come on lady! You know how much a manicure costs.

Great, friendly, caring doctor and staff. The entire staff was an absolute delight to deal with, I waited maybe five minutes, and that's only because I arrived early. They all took their time helping me and made sure to ask if I had any questions or needed any clarification on anything. Would highly recommend this doctor!

Dr. Richheimer was great! He sat with me and asked questions and about my concerns prior to my exam. He took detailed notes and did many tests. I left there very happy and will be back weekly for my shots! Very nice staff!

My first appointment with Dr. Richheimer today as allergies had been really kicking up. My husband had seen him previously and recommended him. Office staff was very welcoming and professional. Dr. took his time with me and I took much of my medical history himself. Preliminary testing was completed by Nancy and she, too, was great. I never felt rushed throughout the appointment and had ample opportunity to ask additional questions. HIGHLY recommend Dr. Richheimer and staff for their service and ability.

Dr.Richheimer and his staff are all very warm, caring, compassionate and professional. They make you feel at ease. Dr. Richheimer is very knowledgeable and I will frequently come to him for URI instead of my primary care physician. His office hours are convenient and I rarely have to wait to be seen.
