“Miracle worker. I'm an extremely particular (read: pain in the neck) person and think most people have no idea what they're talking about. Richard absolutely nailed it. He understood what was going on with me faster than my therapist did :-).
Can't go wrong here, just book him.”

“Seems really knowledgable. Did a thorough examination, took time to explain his findings and explain his recommended plan of treatment. Hopefully I can update after following up on that treatment plan and report back on my level of success.”

Saw Rich for lower back pain, and got great results. He's patient and explains what the issue is, as well as what he's going to do to help you get better. Still do all the core exercises I was taught at the practice to prevent the issue from occurring again. I'd definitely recommend him!
