    I think that Dr. Richter is an excellent cardiologist. I have always been impressed not only with his abilities, but also the time he spends with me and his interests in me. Being a fellow physician, I value that greatly, so that I have referred many patients to Dr. Richter who I thought needed cardiology evaluation. I also thought that your staff was very good as well. They were on top of things between the people I checked in with, the nurse who took care of me into my cardiogram, for the technician, and also the young lady that I checked out with. So overall, I think that it's a very good experience. I just want you to know that I appreciate that and that I have no qualms about referring patients to Dr. Richter. I think he does an excellent job and he provides an excellent medical care for his patients.

    Came early because I was unable to check in online due to my chart/epic issues (wouldn't let me get past my insurance card and indicated my visit copay was $150, which it is not. It is $15 for office visit like this visit, but $150 is for a hospital visit. This same issue occurred with a a [Date] with Dr Vakil at Moorestown too. ) This time the intake person was able to resolve so that I could simply pay the legitimately required $15 (in [Date] I had to pay the $150 to keep my appointment and then call later to get it resolved.) Dr Richter was running late, but it was not a concern to me as I know that he spends whatever time is needed with a patient in order to address their issues. He's done this for me in the past, so I do not mind waiting if that is necessary with other patients too. He's a great doctor. Also during my time in the waiting room, I got to listen to the intake individuals dealing with other patients. The intake folks were wonderful in their treatment of the other patients when there was some confusion about appointments. Intake even apologized for the situation when is was clearly the patient's error.
