Thanks to all my fans and supporters. Dr. Chris Richards opened his medical practice in Truckee in 1989 after completing his Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at the University of California, Davis. “My family and I came to Truckee,” says Dr. Richards, “for the small town atmosphere, the natural beauty, the world class recreation opportunities and the incomparable Tahoe Forest Hospital. After eight years of rigorous medical training, I wanted to use my expertise for the betterment of people’s health, which was my inspiration from the beginning of my whole journey toward my medical degree and specialty. And Truckee seemed like the perfect place to do so.” Dr. Richards joined the Tahoe Forest Hospital Medical Staff and set up his office across the street, offering full service Obstetrics and Gynecology to the women of the community. Now, Dr. Richards has decided to focus completely on women’s health and Gynecology, putting aside his Obstetrics practice. “It has been an amazing privilege,” exclaims Dr Richards, “to help so many women throughout their pregnancies and childbirth experiences. But now I am in a new chapter and style of practice, concentrating on the Gynecology part of my specialty. And I enjoy applying the same qualities of patient care that were appreciated by my Obstetric patients to the full range of Gynecologic services.” Many of his patients have express a desire for him to continue delivering their babies, but they, and others, are thrilled that he will be available at all times for their Gynecologic needs.
