P. Lynn Richman, M.D.

I was drawn to family medicine because I enjoy caring for all aspects of a patient's health.  I encourage preventive care and healthy aging.  My approach with patients is friendly and unrushed.  I believe I can best serve my patients by recommending-not-dictating, a plan, and I advocate patient involvement as a crucial part of any decision making.  I deliver babies and enjoy taking care of children, as well as practicing the full range of other family medicine services.
