A few months ago, Dr. Richards performed an arm lift on me. The results are amazing and my recovery was fast and painless. I had read horror stories on Real Self from other people who had this procedure performed by other plastic surgeons, so I was a little afraid to have it done. As with other surgeries performed by Dr. Richards on me, the results exceeded my expectations. I had no complications and my scars are healing nicely. The scars are hardly noticeable unless you are looking for them.

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Richards and his wonderful staff! I've visited a few plastic surgery offices within the past 20 years having various procedures done. None of those plastic surgeons come close to the skill level, talent, and experience of Dr. Richards. None of them produced the outstanding results that Dr. Richards has provided me. Dr. Richards genuinely cares about you and your desire to improve how you look. He takes the time to listen to what you say, and I mean he really listens. He is honest, and he will tell you outright if he cannot improve an area that is bothering you. He is not one of those plastic surgeons who is arrogant and operates on you thinking he can improve everything. However, when he does operate on you, you can be assured you will be amazed at the results. In the last two years, Dr. Richards has performed SmartLipo, a mini abdominoplasty, a modified thighplasty, an otoplasty, and a brachioplasty on me. With each surgery, I was transformed into a younger looking person. I had no complications, fast recoveries, and the results were as close to perfect as possible. In another two years, I will be having a face and neck lift. Without giving it a second thought, Dr. Richards will be performing these on me too. His entire staff is highly trained, attentive, and very caring. They welcome you with warm, sincere smiles and make you feel as if you are the most important person in the world. My surgical coordinator is Joanne. Joanne is the type of person you want by your side during any medical procedure. She is compassionate, easy to talk to, extremely competent, and very patient. I highly recommend using Dr. Richards and his staff for any procedure you are thinking of, because they are genuinely good people who are incredible in their field.
