        One of the best visits to any of my doctors that I have seen over the years I've needed to see any practitioner. I would put this office in Dr. At the very top along with my team of Liver doctors and staff at IMC in Murray. I only hope that the kind of doctors and treatment I receive related to my spine and shoulders in Logan or cache Valley are just as good as Dr. Richards. There is absolutely nothing negative. I could even dream of thinking of we're sharing. What a better world this would be if all visits to our doctors for medical needs were like what I experienced this day. Thank you to the entire practice.
