Dr Sam Richter was excellent
Dr Richter is one of the best
Survey only goes up to 5. I'd still rate Dr. Sam 10 or 100! He has attended to me over 5 years - he is wonderful in all respects!
All went well
Possible " side effects " were well explained. I was asked if I wanted to proceed with this treatment. I felt very secure at this point.
Planning radiation is a life changing decision. I hope it works
Good experience I hope my treatment outcome is equally as positive
Dr Richter is kind, caring and very reassuring. I am blessed to have him as my doctor. The PA was wonderful.
Very caring and professional
Good service
There were no decisions to be taken since my recovery has progressed smoothly
My concerns about cancer recurring were addressed by Dr. Richter very honestly and in a comforting manner.
Dr. Richter, after my exam and before leaving, told me to not hesitate to call anytime with any concerns and they will get me in. Very grateful!
