I have been in practice since 1994 when I joined Southwest Pediatrics, and continue to provide the excellent standard of care this practice is proud to offer.

Dr Richter did an amazing job today talking with my teen about various things that may come into play in the future (i.e. Not following others in bad choices, internet safety). I could tell my son was truly listening to her and am thankful for her continued excellent care!

My preteen has body image concerns as she worries she is heavy for her age. I try to explain to my daughter that she has a strong body and not unhealthy, but she doesn't always agree with that! Dr Richter explained her growth charts to her complimenting her on maintaining a healthy body without discussion of percentiles. This was a MAJOR WIN for my daughter. She came home with a better mindset and talked about how she wants to continue her positive habits since her Doctor felt she was "not fat after all." I am so overjoyed with how her visit went today.

Dr. Richter and her staff did an excellent job and they always do an excellent job with my son's care. I always feel satisfied after leaving appointments with him because I know that his health is their number one priority when he does go there, as it is ours. And we're just really grateful to have someone as caring and as kind as her as his provider.

I would recommend her to all of my friends. And she is the doctor of all of my family. Go Dr. Richter.

My son needed a same day appointment for imaging after a fall the day prior. We were so thankful to Southwest for being able to get him in, treat him, and make him feel safe.

Dr. Richter is the best pediatrician that I have ever been in contact with. We have been with her for 19 years now as my oldest daughter is going to be 19 and doesn't see Dr. Richter anymore and my younger daughter is 11. I would recommend her to anyone. We started seeing her when my oldest daughter was a premature baby and we stayed with her ever since. She's wonderful at answering all of our questions, addressing all of our concerns, always available by my chart to answer questions. I have the most highly positive things to say about her and all of her staff.

Our experience with Southwest Pediatrics was great. They got us in on time. They were quick. They were courteous. Dr. Richter is a wonderful doctor. She is able to answer all of our questions. She speaks in plain English, so we understand exactly what's going on, and she's always there to answer questions, and she's great. So with that, I think she's awesome.

Great staff, efficient processes

I'd just like to say that Dr. Richter is so amazing with kids. She makes them feel so comfortable. She listens to them. When she talks, she engages with kids, and that makes such a huge difference. She's very knowledgeable and answers all our questions, and she doesn't need to, like, look things up. She just knows, so I really appreciate her.

Dr Richter is the best.

Our provider spoke very fast which made it feel like we were a number. While she did direct some questions to my daughter who is 11, it was harder for her to understand what she said for results and follow-up care. As parents, it is our responsibility to understand, however, we have always had providers describe things in a way and pace that involves our kids more...and with a bit more connection/empathy. This is a newer relationship.

We've yet to have a bad experience. Connie Richter always goes above and beyond putting my boys healthy first and listens to them. We won't go anywhere else!

Dr Richter is fantastic. Very nice, sweet, and caring and knows what she is talking about. Her nurse was very sweet and helpful. My daughter does not like shots and she made the situation very smooth and painless.

Dr Richter has been looking after my daughter since she was born and had somehow managed to maintain a connection with her into her teenage years. I love that she is fun, sensible, practical and firm all at the same time.

Dec 05, 2023
The staff has always been very wonderful to myself and to my son. And when we were having issues getting a prescription, they were quick in getting a new prescription sent out, and communicating that back with me, and absolutely enjoy the staff.

Dr. Richter is so amazing. She made my daughter feel so comfortable and she was not scared to get her wart frozen off. I love how she connects with children. You can tell that she loves what she does! We have been coming to see Dr. Richter for over 6 years and every visit has been the best.
