    Dr. Richard was very kind and compassionate and took the time to listen and made me feel heard and seen. I was most impressed by the surgery coordinator that I was able to meet with after meeting with Dr. Richards. She was wonderful. Unfortunately, I cannot think of her name at the moment, but she was just absolutely wonderful. Great personality, great depth of manner, true to me with the utmost respect and has been extremely helpful in following up to get everything needed for my upcoming surgery. So, A plus all around. Great job, Longstreet Clinic.

    Dr. Robert Richard and the staff at the Center for Weight Loss Management at Longstreet Clinic in Gainesville are the best! I have been a patient of Dr. Richard since 2020. He and his staff have been with me every step of my weight loss journey, and I could not ask for a better support group apart from my family. I definitely recommend this practice to anyone interested in changing to a healthier lifestyle. I would also like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Eric Velazquez for acting quickly when I was met with a medical emergency a few months ago. He is awesome, as well.

    Due to the nature of the visit and the fact that I am seeking surgery for super morbid obesity I am extremely self-conscious about my weight and have extreme anxiety about going out in public. Dr. Richard and every member of his staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed and their kindness seemed authentic and genuine. That goes a long way in helping me feel excited about this journey that I am about to embark on.
