Exceptional Health Care Provide.I am extremely fortunate for having Dr. Nathan Richards as my health care provider. Thanks to Dr. Richards.
Very efficient, thorough & friendly.
He is a very nice person, seems knowledgeable, but felt my physical was lacking. For instance, I stayed completely dressed, so there was no palpating of abdomen, liver, check for bulging aorta, etc. This could be the way it is now when you have a physical, but it felt so non-thorough to me. If I didn't address a specific concern or area on my body, it was not checked. I felt shortchanged and that I may have wasted my time (and money).
I am so grateful for my PCP. I am truly fortunate to be one of his patients. He has helped me with blood pressure issues and has made me more comfortable with preventative medical care.
Friendly, happy to see me.
Dr. Richards is excellent.
Dr. Richards had a student with him. She was very thorough in her interview of me before Dr. Richards came. Dr. Richards, as always, was questioning, examining, analytical, personable and ordered a series of diagnostic tests beyond those that could be performed there. Those diagnostics were scheduled in a very timely manner. I have had another of my very fine OSU doctors, who knows Dr. Richards, tell me that he considers Dr. Richards to be one of the 5 best doctors he has ever met.
Dr. Richards takes the time to talk about my health. I feel we are partners in my care.

Dr. Richards is always so friendly and approachable. He is knowledgeable about my care and is open to my concerns.

Very thorough and patient
Dr. Richards is not my regular provider and this was my first visit with him. I couldn't have been happier. He got to the point, but also let me tell my narrative of what i was feeling and what had happened. He proactively asked me about medication and made adjustments without me having to ask. VERY pleased with the visit and would definitely see him again.
Dr Richards cares for me and my best interest. He always put my needs first and takes me at face value when I tell him my symptoms
Dr. Richards is the best! He is funny and kind, very easy to relate to and my son loves him.
