Dr. Cassandra A Mahan-Richards

I was satisfied with Dr. Richards and Rebecca. But why in the world would you go on “Sabbatical” for an allergy clinic, in one of the worst allergy prone areas in Washington State! Now they are closing the practice and dumping us all on one allergy center, that has wait for appt. times 2 months. What a bad organization Lynx healthcare!!

I could write a book on this visit, but essentially... Dr. Richards attempted to solve an allergy problem (maybe) I had with a combination of drugs, and put me in the hospital. 6 months later, I'm still fighting off the side effects of what the drug combination did to me. Now, she seemed caring and had a good enough manner. But first off, she should have never had me take two drugs at once. Second, she claimed to not have ever heard about the side effects of one of the drugs. I did a quick Google search and found out that the drug had been investigated by the FDA for suicide links and found a host of complaints about it across multiple sites. She seemed well-intended, and it's probably more a result of the system than her in particular. But, she really should be researching these meds before passing them out. The possible side effects were simply not worth the risk for what we were treating. NEVER take two drugs (for the first time) at once, and always do your research before putting the drugs in your body. Again, she seemed well-intended. Probably more than your average doctor. But, she made a critical error with me, and I learned my lesson the hard way.
