A western physician that is a true healer - imagine that.
Rich has a collection of skills that is very rarely found in medicine today. He is affable. He comprehends both the explicit and the implicit. His ability to move from the 10,000 foot view to the 10 foot view is absolutely unparalleled. Most importantly, his ability to think and work outside the box in mitigating or resolving health problems is the capstone of his remarkable talents.
My doctor has cared for our family for the last 20 years - he and his staff understand our individual health care needs and are always responsive with the right customized plan to regain full health. We couldn't imagine going anywhere else.
