The Man is a Genius
Don't hesitate for one second in choosing Dr. Richards. You are in amazing hands with him. I had a Natural Lift and a Lip Lift with him - no pain whatsoever and I looked great after just one week. The result is so natural looking no-one would ever guess I had it done.

After Years of Research, I Finally Found the Right Surgeon for My Brow Lift
At 41, I felt older than my years. I have a connective tissue disorder that contributes to early skin laxity, and for years my heavy, drooping brows gave me a tired appearance and frequent tension headaches. People would ask if I was tired when I felt perfectly fine, and I noticed that my facial expression wasn’t communicating what I actually felt. I had been considering a brow lift for 3–5 years before finally moving forward. I initially consulted with several surgeons closer

More Comfortable
Fantastic. I felt at ease and comfortable at all times. Dr. Richards knows what he's doing. Just let the man do his work and you will look amazing. My results are so completely natural. There is no way anyone would be able to discern a difference unless I disclose it. I managed to gain some weight but the after is still significantly better than the before. Recovery was easy. I feel more comfortable taking photos with out doing the Myspace angles

Subtle and Natural
Dr. Richards was excellent from the first meeting. He was clear, reassuring and realistic and did not push me to undertake procedures beyond what was needed. His senior support team was responsive and thorough. The recovery was very fast and result was natural and subtle. I would recommend this practice strongly

Dr. Richards was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly took the time to listen to my goals and answer all of my questions. His staff was kind and knowledgeable as well. During my consult with Dr. Richards, I voiced that I wanted a natural size that was proportionate to my body and the results are exactly that. I felt comfortable and confident

5 Star Team!
Dr Richards and his surgical coordinator Marya were easy to love from the start. Dr Richards gave me an honest consultation and helped guide me to the best surgery for the results I wanted without being pushy. From my experience with him, I can tell that he is a genuine and compassionate doctor. Marya made the process and finances easy to understand. She was there to walk me through the preop process and answer all of my questions. When my surgery day came, I was surprised at

10/10 Experience
Dr Richards was great from the start when I came to him inquiring for my gynecomastia surgery. He listened to my concerns, took the time to understand my goals, and ultimately performed a phenomenal surgery. He was always available via text during the recovery process. Now, I’m a few months out from my surgery - not fully healed still but Dr Richards has still been available and assessing my progress. Great work by a great, attentive doctor.

More Than Expected
I had a lower eyelid blepharoplasty done last month, Nov. 2025. Dr. Richards answered all my questions and was very patient, understanding, and reassuring with me. After 1 month, the results were more than what I expected and am definitely recommending him.
