Practice Philosophy:

As your orthopedic traumatologist, my goal is to help you return to your preinjury functional level. I support my patients from the preoperative period throughout rehabilitation. My first step is to understand your injury fully through a discussion with you, a comprehensive physical exam and a thorough review of your tests. Next, we discuss your injury together so that you understand your options and determine a treatment plan. I spend an extensive time formulating an individualized operative plan, as I believe careful planning translates to a successful surgery. In the operating room, I am dedicated to obtaining the best results for you.

    Dr. Richman could not have been better! He was so kind to my sister. She can be very anxious. He was so patient. We could not have asked for a better surgeon or person. I will highly recommend him and this practice to others.

    I don't know a lot of the processes for this type of injury and wasn't given much information in the next processes. I also didn't ask so it's not the docs fault.
