Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent care from Dr. Richard King
Dr. Richard King has been our Primary Care physician for more than thirty years. He sees patients in a timely manner. For acute issues, we have been able to get an appointment at the end of the day or the following day. Dr. King takes personal interest in his patients and takes time to address our concerns and questions. We trust his medical judgement. His office is run efficiently, in part due to the able assistance of Rochelle and Annie. You can count on them to relay messages.

Best primary care doctor!
I was recently admitted to CHOMP on an emergency basis for a heart episode. Dr. King is my primary doctor and he came immediately and monitored my care there. I was so relieved knowing he was my primary physician. My husband and I have been Dr. King's patients for about 25 yrs and we could not ask for a better, more caring doctor.

I can't say enough good words about Dr King. He has helped me so much on many occasions over the 2 years I've seen him. Logical sensible cohesive advice. He takes opinions of three specialists and superceedes thier prognosises and gives me hope and is positive when other Doctors have dropped the ball. In one day he cured me because I took the advice he gave me and have been in and out of emergency for 2 weeks thinking I was at deaths door. He's a great Dr. The waiting room is always bustling.

Dr. King is very knowledgeable and caring. He's my elderly parents' physician, and has been helpful in guiding our family with their care as they age. He has practical advice, and is accessible, and good at communicating and educating. Dr. King's practice is supported by very caring people with a personal touch. He is also very timely and efficient so we've rarely had to wait although he does have a busy practice.
