Great Dentist and Great Guy! My family and I have been going to Dr Richards for over 20+ Years . Dr. Ricks' helped me out in many dental emergencies over the years. I remember waking up with a super painful tooth at 4:30 am , I called him up and was able to get in an have it dealt with by 9:00 am . He really helped me out and I really appreciated it . If you're looking for a new dentist, look no further then Dr Richards!

Our dentist retired and my wife and I feel so lucky to have Dr Rick recommenced to us. We hope this is the start of a long and happy relationship. My wife just had Dr Rick put a composite veneer on a tooth and it came out terrifically. Kudos!!!

Friendly and always on time service. Have been going for years and if I could rate 10 I would. Doesn't feel like I am at a dental office, very welcoming and comfortable. Convenient location and great professional. Have recommended to all my family.
