He had been nervous about going and Dr Richen put him at ease straight away so he felt really comfortable explaining his symptoms. Dr Richen listened carefully to the issue and checked that i was happy with the outcome and next steps. I was expecting to feel rushed but it didn't feel like that at all. Great service and would happily use again John ParsonsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Nick has treated my child on several occasions and I cannot recommend his approach enough. He was reassuring to me as a parent with thorough but easy to understand explanations, whilst putting my child at ease throughout. Diagnosis and prognosis were spot on. An excellent professional. Rachel HansfordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I approached Dr Richens for some professional advice regarding a paediatric clinical issue I was struggling with (I am a GP). He provided me with a detailed, evidence-based opinion on a complex issue, and also offered some pearls of wisdom from his years of clinical experience. I would not hesitate to seek his advice again. Cheryl PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had concerns for my nephews toe nail. It had become black with no history of trauma. Googling gave me concerns about cancer. A consultation and assessment put our minds at ease. Dr Richens was amazing with my nephew, getting him to engage- my nephew is a typical 2 year old that doesn’t like strangers.

His dedication, expertise, and genuine care for children make an invaluable asset to the community surrounding Oxfordshire. Thankyou, Ben & Blygh Ben VerguetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came in for our 4w old daughter who keeps on crying. We met Dr Richens who was really attentive and reassuring. He listened to us, asked questions and took us through his thoughts which made us feel understood in our worries. Turns out there was nothing abnormal fortunately, but we feel that appointment wasn’t wasted time. So a really amazing Dr who I recommend.
