Dr. Richie is awesome. He is the MJHS team doctor and we were lucky to have him assigned to my son (a football player for MJHS) when he broke his foot 2 years ago. Going back to him recently for another issue we received the same wonderful care as before. I could not speak higher about Dr. Richie s care and concern. And his willingness to explain things on a level of which a parent can understand.
