Through it all he has been a gifted diagnostician, patient, thorough and never hurried. He treats each patient with courtesy and respect.

I'm young for the problems I have, I was 33, that may be why there are no other posts on here…read more My personal doctor there is Dr. Andrew Richards. He saw my mom and several other co-workers recommended him. He is realistic, funny, professional, and most importantly he listened each and every time I saw him. The first time I saw him was a follow up to an ER visit for my second bout of diverticulitis. I sat in his office in front of his desk not in an exam room, which put me at ease right off the bat with all his funny toys. We talked about all kinds of things, including how much he loves his job, about my life, expectations and he presented me with options and his preferred plan. I had a pretty horrible abcess and antibiotics did not work..3 weeks later I was admitted to Holy Spirit for IV antibiotics and they discharged me 4 days later against my will and against Dr. Richards judgement. 12 hours later I was screaming in pain called the on-call and Dr Richards within minutes said get a ride to Harrisburg Hospital and go straight to room xxx and get in the first bed you see. I had a pick line and was there several weeks as he tried to control my infection. It didn't work and I ended up having most of my large bowel removed. He sat down in my hospital room before my surgery and talked things out. He let me cry, and ask questions. He talked to my family on the phone to ease their concerns. He told me I might have a bag bc of the infection but he would do the best he could and even though I was terrified of not just dying but having a colostomy bag...I felt in the best hands. His residents are idiots but all residents are. He is a jokester but respects your opinion and let's you be part of your healthcare choices. He reminds me of Jerry Lewis as my A** Doctor. He helped me through some pain issues I had and he was on vacation the week after my surgery. Dr. Delong helped me with an infection in my incision sight and the nurses there were amazing helping me barely walk in the building for that a week later. It was a blur and I was extremely sick but they held my hand, patted me on the shoulder, and helped me as much as they could. Follow ups were embarrassing and histerical all at the same time. But his concern for how I was doing was clear. I have sent a friend to him for the same problem and he asked how I was doing. As for the other doctors, I saw Dr. DeLong (who reminded me completely of Norm McDonald) and was nice and I felt in capable hands with him as well, he is just quiet and likes to speed through your visits. I like over kill on information. I saw Dr. Sollenberger once and I wouldn't go to him based on our one visit, but also sat bedside and explained procedure wise what would happen. I had a couple roommates that wouldn't see any other doctor and had the highest of compliments to pay him. The front office staff love him too. Almost every Dr. Office has moody miserable office staff or nurses, but not here. People laugh and are polite. I had a rough initial recovery and they did everything to make me more comfortable, from walking me back right away to keep me from walking farther to telling me I "looked" better already. Those girls are very sweet. The office on N. Front Street is beautiful and well kept, difficult to find since it is on the median, so know that before you do 10 circles and are late for your appointment. I think they all do, but at least Dr. Richards sees patients out of both Holy Spirit(who time and time again has attempted to murder my friends and family there) and Harrisburg, Hospital. I was in both, and I will never go to holy Spirit Again ever. Overall, Dr Richards is my hero and made me whole and normal again. He literally saved my life and without his care I would most definitely have died. I moved several thousand miles away but he is still in my phone incase I need to fly back into his care!!

The previous review of Dr. Richards goes double for me. He's funny, attentive and will put you…read moreright at ease. I think he's fantastic! I love all the funny toys he has in his office. The first time I went in there the first thing he said to me was "I'm always bringing up the rear!". Then he chuckled and put me right at ease. He wasn't really late, but just cracked a joke. I wish more doctors had his bedside manner.

I miss Dr. Costa so much! I moved away two years ago and have not been able to find a doctor I like…read morenearly as much. I guess I've been spoiled. Dr. Costa is nonjudgmental and I was always able to get an appointment within 24 hours if I was sick. She always takes time to answer questions, and I always had a LOT of them. We made decisions about my health care together. She got to know me and treated me like the kind of patient I want to be -- someone who takes part in healthcare decisions, not someone who blindly follows doctor's orders without understanding the reasons and the risks. She even supported me when I said I wanted to try to manage my diabetes with diet and exercise instead of the medication she wanted to prescribe. I like Dr. Costa so much that for a year after I moved I kept her as my doctor even though it meant driving two hours each way to appointments! That didn't work out so well when I was really sick so I had to break down and find a doctor locally. (She did prescribe for me over the phone, though, when I was sick and unable to make the drive.) No charge for calling in prescriptions, unlike my current doctor who charges 25 bucks! They maintain records on a computerized system (also unlike my current doc who uses paper records). It makes it easy for them to compare test results to track progress. One complaint: when I did change doctors I asked for a copy of my medical records and they cost more than 100 bucks! They had to be ordered through some other company that manages records requests. I suspect (though I'm not sure) that I could've had them directly sent to my new doctor perhaps at no charge) but I wanted a copy myself as well. I feel like the charge is unreasonable because my insurance company and I already paid for the creation of the records. I understand a small copying fee, like 20 cents a page or something to cover costs, but this ended up being much, much more than that per page. Anyway, 5 stars for Dr. Costa, zero stars for the office policy on paying for records.

I find it concerning that when my husband went back because the antibiotic he was on was not…read moreworking (nobody's fault), but when my husband told me the doctor prescribed a new antibiotic and then told him to hold onto the antibiotic that didn't work for an infection that might occur down the road, I was a little taken back. He then said, I don't know if I should take the new antibiotic yet because I already took one of the prior antibiotics this morning, I said, didn't the doctor advise you on this? He said, no. So I called up the pharmacy and asked the pharmacist and she said it was ok to start the new prescription right away and to throw the old one away. I said, the doctor told him to hold onto it for an infection that might occur down the road and she was taken back that a doctor would suggest that. She said, not ever antibiotic works for every infection. She said for example an antibiotic used for a sinus infection is not the same antibiotic that you would use for a bladder infection. She then stressed that the prior antibiotic should be thrown away right away.

My second visit to Patient First was even more excellent than my first visit nine months ago…read more This time I was able to see Dr. Sean Perrine, who is intelligent, personable, kind, patient and caring. Dr. Perrine suggested that I have the impacted earwax removed from both ears. Paige, a medical specialist in earwax removal, did a superb job to accomplish this complicated and time-consuming task. Dr. Perrine also prescribed an antibiotic for me that he called in to my pharmacy on record. The prescription was ready for pick up when I arrived. The wait time was less than five minutes because I was there when they opened at 8 AM on a Tuesday. I was unable to get an appointment with my family doctor that week. Pansinusitis should not be left untreated for too long, so I did the right thing by going to Patient First for superior medical care from a friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff. I would give Patient First a 23+ out of 10 ... fabulous ... fantastic and a life saver when a family doctor cannot provide immediate care. Patient First on Jonestown Road in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is THE BEST in 2025!
