Dr. L. David Richer, DPM – Foot, Ankle & Leg Center

I am here for my third procedure today on the same toe (it’s a troublesome toe!) and I keep driving from Glendale to see Dr. Richer because of his quick, efficient, and tender care. He is personable and amazing with all aspects of his care. I recommend his care for any ingrown toe nail services! Even without insurance like me, he is affordable and the front desk staff is friendly and prompt. Five stars.

Dr. Richer seems like a nice guy, but is not the best doctor. He performed ingrown toenail surgery for me a few years ago, and he botched it royally. Then seemed quite unconcerned about it and said «it can happen from time to time». Well here I am several years later dealing with significant pain because his surgery did not work and actually caused a 2^nd issue with my toenail which is worse than the original issue. Now I have to go elsewhere and attempt the surgery again. I would definitely not recommend this doctor to anyone. Please find someone else to help you.

What can I say, except «what a great DR». I had an emergency with my toe and I was able to get in to see Dr. Richer as a new pt, the same afternoon. Upon my arrival, the front desk made me feel welcome and got me back to see the Dr. quickly. I was freaking out, but when Dr. Richer came in, he made me feel at ease and very comfortable. He has a great personality and a very warm bed side manner. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a podiatrist. I myself will be returning to him again soon for yet another issue. Thank you Dr Richer.

Dr. Richer is an amazing podiatrist. He is truly caring and provided me with excellent in-​office care as well as advice on maintaining my foot health after leaving the office. I never felt rushed, all my questions were answered, and rate my experience as a perfect 10! Patience, compassion and a wonderful office environment.

Visiting Dr. Richer was the best decision I could have made. Another surgeon performed surgery on my right foot and after healing I experienced a sharp pain in between my toes when l put pressure on the ball of my foot. I thought this problem could not be helped but Dr. Richer diagnosed my problem immediately and let me know it was actually quite common. Dr. Richer knew exactly what to do to treat this problem and presented all available options. Dr. Richer was very professional, personable and informative. He listened to what I had to say and was caring and knowledgeable. Additionally his staff was very helpful and efficient. I felt that Dr. Richer & his staff genuinely care about their patients. I am now completely pain free! I would highly recommend Dr. Richer to anyone that has foot problems however big or small.

Dr. Richer was the 3^rd podiatrist I went to and without hesitation the best experience I had. The other two doctors were Dr. Bates in South Scottsdale and Dr. Price (who works with «renowned» Dr.).
Dr. Bates was friendly but I had read great reviews about Dr. Richer and have to second Irene on the quality of his services. I went to Dr. Richer mainly to get a 2^nd opinion after being strongly suggested by Dr. Price that I would need to have surgery, the sooner the better, for a tear in my right toe that I had due to a soccer injury.
He took a look at my MRI and was patient and helpful in explaining not only his opinion of the diagnosis made by the radiologist but also that my big toe would be already leaning in and in need of surgery if it were the case. He told me that I just need to take it easy (I play tennis, soccer and workout each week) and that in a month we’ll meet up. Probably my foot doctor of choice if need be in the future.
