Decided that I couldn’t have a connective tissue disorder because I have mental health problems. Very dismissive. I should have done my research and chose another doctor.
Dr Selwyn Richards I find to be a very kind calm and empathic man he listens and explains what is going on making one feel much more at ease and understand the situation. I would recommend him to other patients. I have learnt more about my condition than I knew before he saw me Thank You
Saw Dr Richards for a consultation today, following my decision to 'decline' having surgery on my fractured wrist.
Really felt that he understood my thoughts and why i had made my decision.
He really did treat me 'as an individual'; whilst he must have seen countless similar injuries!
I'm totally happy with my treatment, and would recommend his listening, understanding approach to other patients.

Dr Richards seems to have poor listening skills in that he talked about an entirely different joint difficulty to the one I was experiencing. He became cross when I attempted to direct him on track again.
Dr Richards is a hard character to understand.
I have no doubt that he understands his field however if you want a Dr that will listen and not make pre-conceived ideas about you as a patient then Dr Richards is not the one.
He is very harsh, abrupt and I found he had a condescending attitude.
I would not recommend Dr Richards and wish I had done my homework before seeing him and chose another Rheumatologist.
