Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
Patient Comments
- September 18, 2023 Excellent doctor.

- August 25, 2023 Shame the score only allows a 10 the man is a 1000 out of 10 he cares and he proves it goes way above and beyond he makes sure you understand your meds and gives you any and all warnings about new meds. I wish that all and every Dr. Had this man's skill mindset and compassion he is above and beyond my Dr. He is my friend as well no we don't hang out but I absolutely couldn't ask for a better healer he has helped me so much for 12 years now and I hope he has no plans for retirement any time soon it would be a absolute huge loss to the medical community and my worst nightmare come true so here's to you my friend your absolutely amazing at being a Dr As a provider and as a father and friend my God bless you throughout your whole life ?? you have made my life more blessed with so many tragedys I've went through from falling from 2 floors to the concrete at work to falling in a elevator to literally being ran over while on my motorcycle you care you help and you heal your simple the best much love goes put to you my Dr And my friend
- August 18, 2023 Dr. Lord has kept my history in mind while coming up with new treatments .
- August 2, 2023 Dr Lord is by far the best caregiver I have ever interacted with. He explains things on my terms that I can understand and seems to understand me when I’m talking to him and trying to explain my aches and pains. Dr Lord is by far the best doctor he should never be allowed to retire lol.

- December 19, 2022 Dr. Richard Lord is fantastic!! I trust him completely with my care and well being. He is amazing at how he is able to care for his patients. Such a depth of knowledge, experience and caring.
- December 17, 2022 Dr. Lord is the best communicator I have ever had for a primary care physician. He takes the time required to make sure the problem and the treatment plan is understood by all parties involved in the care of the patient. The only problem is that he is so good and so busy that it is very difficult to get an appointment to see him. I have to make my appointment for my annual physical at least 6-7 months in advance
- December 2, 2022 I??ve been a patient more than 20 years, never had a complaint. He is caring, concerned, takes time explaining everything, friendly,and you feel safe with him as your MD
- November 22, 2022 Dr. Lord is a rare gem of a physician. He genuinely cares for his patients and takes the time to listen to any concerns you may have. He doesn't make you feel like he's rushing you out the door and trying to maintain a schedule. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to become his patient.
- November 4, 2022 Dr Lord is the best doctor, he takes time with his patients. Answers all the questions that I have and explain them so I understand them. Love him and his staff
