I liked that my appointment was at 1 o'clock and they took me right at 1 o'clock. And I also liked that the doctor spent a lot of time with us, me and my husband. Yes. He didn't seem like he was in a hurry. He talked everything through. He was very nice. That's all.

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.

Hi. The day of my appointment, it was very hot. The person who registered me and signed me in gave me a glass of water, made sure I was okay and I wasn't overheated, and I just felt like she went above and beyond. I just want to say thank you. She was very, very kind. Everyone is always kind when I come there, but that was totally unexpected and it was awesome. Thank you.
