St. Luke's Pocono Summit Primary Care
I am a strong proponent of physician-patient shared decision making. In my practice, my initial goal is always to know who my patient is and how we can work best together. My new patients are always pleasantly surprised at how much I want to know about their personal lives before we dive into the medical piece of their visit. Knowing my patient well allows me to have more focused treatment plans and better discussions about goals as it pertains to their health.
I am a family physician with St. Luke’s Pocono Summit Primary Care. As a family physician I see WHOLE families. Newborns, teenagers, young adults and seniors… I love the variety in my patient population. I am an advocate of preventive and community medicine.
I am a NYC girl, so I enjoy weekend trips back to the city to see friends and family. I am also a sucker for a good Netflix show and I am notorious for binge watching the newest release!

“I am a new patient for Dr. Richard. Changing providers is scary sometimes but Dr. Richards helped ease my concern. She was thorough and in fact mentioned corrections for existing issues not addressed properly by my previous providers. Her staff including her assistant were pleasant and informative. I am a happy new patient to St. Luke's and Dr. Richards.”
