I will be forever grateful 🙏”
“Dr Rich is a superb plastic surgeon. He is very thorough in explaining and giving his expert opinion. He’s very honest and cares very much about the way you feel. Everyone in the office is so kind as well! You’re in very good hands with Dr Rich and his staff.”
“I had an otoplasty with Dr. Rich and the experience was great. I'm very pleased with my results and the care I received from him and his team. He has a wonderful bedside manner and made me feel completely at ease about my decision. Thank you again, Dr. Rich!”
“I have a long story that led me to Dr. Rich. I had one ENT stop communicating with me after 7 months instead of saying he can't do it. I had an honest ENT after him tell me that ENTs cannot do my surgery (Dr. Burkhalter) and I would recommend him for ENT work. His office referred me to a lady in Charleston but I wanted someone local. Through their research and mine we both came up with the same man, Dr. Rich. I was impressed with him in many ways... 1) Every surgeon said that they need to get a cadaver approved for my nose and with him it wasn't a problem. 2) Every surgeon prior to him said insurance takes a while to approve it, but he got it approved quickly. 3) He has been doing it for over 3 decades and before my anesthesia he prayed by my bed with my wife there and asked God to give him the skill of his hands. I am still recovering but am so glad that I was able have Rich be my surgeon for my life long nose problems I have had. He was worth the wait!”
“I absolutely love Dr. Rich! As a 21-year-old, I had always wanted a rhinoplasty when I went in for my septoplasty, and Dr. Rich made the entire experience so comfortable and reassuring. He truly listens and takes the time to make sure you feel confident about any change to your face. What I appreciated most is that Dr. Rich strives for the best results while still keeping everything natural. During my pre-op, we also discussed a chin implant—something I had never considered before—and choosing to do both together was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Beyond the results, Dr. Rich genuinely cares about his patients. He checks in before and after surgery, is always available to answer questions, and makes sure you feel supported every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend him more!”
