Testimonials

For years I’ve worried about small, just under the skin, “blood spots” called petechia that would appear on my hands and arms for no apparent reason. I’d asked my primary care doctor about them and never really got a satisfactory answer until now. I consulted with Dr. Michael Richman online, gave him a short history and current medication list. Within minutes, he correctly ascertained the root of my problem: too much aspirin in my daily dosage. He recommended an alternative, and my primary physician agreed. Great service; great physician!”

After dealing with a chronic illness for years, and going through a number of Doctors who couldn't diagnose my long term issue, I met Dr. Richman, He took the time and effort to understand what I was going through, made all the arrangements for my tests, got the results and helped diagnose the problem. Once he had all the information, he pointed me in the right direction. He walked me through my treatment in a way no other Doctor has ever done before. He was always available to answer my questions and very pleasant whenever I needed advice. He genuinely took an interest in my health and well being. I've never known a Doctor as compassionate and caring as Dr. Richman. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants personalized attention.
I used PaladinMDs to get answers to my questions on COVID19, Cytokine Storm, Kawasaki Disease symptoms, and cardiology issues with medications for treatment. In each instance the questions I posed received understandable answers along with corresponding articles for reference. The answers were timely in that I received my answers within 1 -2 hours from time of submission. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Richman. I know I can rely on receiving the most up to date current information in a timely manner......

My relationship with Dr. Michael Richman is special and I attribute my finer state of health to him. I met him eight years ago, through a colleague of mine in the Congress. During that time, my health was in disarray and I was overweight. Little did I know, the medicines that was being prescribed to me in the Philippines were disorganized and ill-thought-out. When I met Dr. Richman in Los Angeles, he tasked me to do some tests to determine what was wrong with my body during that time. After the results came, he prescribed me some new medicines and as hesitant as I am, I decided to give it a try. After a year, I took the tests again and all the results were fantastic. We have an incredibly special relationship because I know deep down, he really just wants to improve your overall health and well-being. Michael Richman is not just a great doctor, he is also a great and trusted friend.

As a physician and patient of Dr. Richman I was blown away with his understanding of lipids and management approach. I am an ED doctor, and I have dealt with the end result of patients not managing lipids my entire career. I clearly understood the risk factors and knew I had them. I tried diet, losing weight, and eating right (well most of the time). I just didn’t want to take meds and was non-compliant. I also knew better and didn’t want to expose my “do as I say and not as I do” behavior. Dr. Richman got through to me, helped augment my understanding, and used simple metaphors to make complex lipid physiology understandable. His specialized expertise in this field and practical experience is phenomenal, and I am an ED doc who evaluated physician consultants critically for 30 years, he knows lipids and he know lipid management. He is also personable and motivating. If he got through to me, he can get through to anyone. Since my consult with Dr. Richman I am 100% compliant with my meds, and I am using his metaphors with my patients liberally, with attribution.

My journey in medicine began in eighth grade when I read “The Living Heart” by Drs. Michael Debakey and Antonio Gotto and I subsequently gave an oral presentation to my science class on Mitral Stenosis. It was at that time, during middle school, that it became clear to me that nothing would stop me from realizing my dream of becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon...

My journey to becoming a physician was crystalized when I became a medical explorer in high school and volunteered at a local hospital after school. I always wanted to help people but realized in my senior year of high school that I could fulfill that dream best, as a doctor. I was fortunate to get into Amherst College and had access to some of the top science professors in the nation. My parents always told me that I could do anything I put my mind to and was successful in getting...
