Richter Michael

Dr. Richter is my family doctor. He has treated my two kids since they were born. He is very patient and thorough with the children and always assists me and my wife when we are ill. I have no complaints. Whenever I have a question, he completely and thoroughly explains. He is not a doctor that is quick to prescribe antibiotics and I am grateful for that. His office is well run and the staff is always courteous. He is a busy doctor with a tight schedule and that is because he is in demand. If you live in the area or are looking for a good doctor that accepts many insurances, he is a great bet. I also like that his office utilizes tele-​health applications and websites to share information with patients. His office also send prescriptions electronically, which honestly more medical offices should do this day in age.

Due to moving often, and constant insurance coverage changes, I have had to make changes with my doctors often. Dr. Richter is the best I have ever had, from the first appointment he made me feel completely at ease. His main concern is his patients and spends quality time to ensure you are doing well. He speaks to you as an intelligent person and makes sure you understand any issues that you may have, and has a great sense of humor! Dr. Richter is the only doctor I have ever had that said, call me anytime day or night, I will get back to you.
The entire staff in his office is friendly, and I love to be greeted by his dog each visit.

Dr Richter doesn’t only make you feel comfortable he makes you feel important
He really does care about his clients and he speaks to you as a friend with a great sense of humor and hears out on everything you say.

Dr. Richter’s passion and caring make him stand out over all. I work in one of the largest hospitals in NYC and consider Dr. Richter’s family practice above their standards because I like the family feel of the practice. There is a long wait time sometimes, but I wait with assurance that when he is in the office with me, he is going to give me the attention he gives to all his patients. His front desk staff and nurses are fantastic as well. And I can’t forget his dog… it’s like a home.

I’d rather be safe than sorry! Dr. Richter is safe & thorough. I’ve been a patient for a few months and enjoy staying healthy under his care! Dr. Richter is knowledgeable, caring and serious. Most of all he is human. Add a wonderful staff with a touch of humor and an elderly dog makes for a great office visit. I would have to move off the planet before I switch! Thank you Dr. Richter!

Dr. Michael Richter is a phenomenal physician that has provided me and my family with superb guidance and service throughout the years. The quality of service provided by him and his extremely gracious and accommodating staff is commendable. Despite moving out of Queens a few years ago, I still make the trip out from Riverdale, NY to see Dr. Richter because his services and communication methods supersede most physicians in my neighborhood. Dr. Richter and his staff are simply a top notch medical facility!

Not going back He likes to rack up unnecessary referrals for diagnostics and superfluous tests. I think he likes to drum up biz for his colleagues. The dog is a nice touch, though

While his methods may be a tad unorthodox and his demeanor, might be different than what most people would expect from a doctor, his skill and knowledge are certainly above and beyond most similar physicians.
I have known Dr Richter for nearly 10 years, and I can tell you that he is a kind, caring, extremely intelligent, albeit quirky individual.
His methods may seem strange, however, he is a great diagnostician and is willing to do what it takes to get his patients well.
His staff is super friendly and his office is always clean and neat.
If you are lucky, you may even get to meet Bartlett.

I first started going to Dr. Richter a week after my son was born. He s a patient, knowledge man, who takes his time with his patients making sure all questions are answered and that we are comfortable when leaving his office. He is gentle with my son, even when administering shots and is not an alarmist. Dr. Richter has on several occasions contacted us after hours to make sure that our son is alright, as well as, but not limited to, returned our calls late at night to assure us when he is sick and then takes him first thing in the morning. I know of few doctors that would offer to open their office on a Sunday morning to check on a child, but Dr. Richter does and will. The office is inviting, and while it may be dated in appearance, that only enhances its charm, as it tells his patients that thousands were seen and treated within those walls. This alone is comforting. The office is always very clean and well maintained. To Suny a doctor cannot adequately access a newborn who is fully clothed, to think so is disingenuous on your part and every subsequent doctor you brought your child to would have required you removing her clothing. Had Dr. Richter not requested it, he would have done a disservice to your child. And really, what mother would want their newborn to get a shot, a Hep B one at that, on the arm, it is simply not done Your review is unfair and clearly malicious. Dr. Richter is a kind, patient and honest man and I feel lucky that he has agreed to accept us as patients and is treating my family. I trust him completely! Additionally, Dr. Richter’s staff is kind, knowledgable and tireless in making sure a person’s insurance pays their part. If anyone had an issue with a bill, then I would assume from my experience, that the bill was outstanding for several months. Everyone deserves to be paid for their work, it is unconscionable to refuse to pay Dr. Richter after he provided a service. His rates are reasonable and he goes to great lengths not to order unnecessary tests and to save patients money. Ultimately, Dr. Richter is a good man and an amazing Doctor. I highly recommend him.

I am sorry that Erika R had such a bad experience at Dr Richter’s office. I have been a patient of Dr Richter’s for 17 years, and all my experiences have been positive. He has always treated me with courtesy and respect. He takes time to talk with me, laughs at my jokes, looks at my vacation photos, and makes me feel like he cares.
Whenever he tells me that an ache or pain will go away by itself, it DOES. And most importantly, he never makes me feel that my concerns are trivial.
From time to time I have had questions about a bill like Erika, but Dr Richter and I have always resolved it equitably.
By the way, he is a pediatrition as well as an internist, so you can go to him from birth to death.

Dr. Richter has been my family doctor since 1997. Recently, I had a false negative neurological test performed at his office. When I spoke to Dr. Richter and said I refused to pay for a test that had not been performed thoroughly, he attempted to intimidate me in a very rude and offensive manner, threatening to take me to collections. Needless to say, my family will not be going here again.
