Fully licensed in her field, Dr. Richards shares her extensive knowledge of gynecology and years of experience in feminine health to care for women in the Greater Baltimore area.
After earning her bachelor’s degree in biology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Dr. Richards stayed to get her doctorate of medicine at world-renowned McMaster University School of Medicine. She then completed a general comprehensive internship at Toronto Western Hospital, associated with the University of Toronto. She returned to McMaster University to complete a residency in obstetrics and gynecology in 1990.
In 1991, Dr. Richards opened her own clinic in Hamilton. While in practice there, she held the position of associate professor and taught residents and interns. After practicing there for three years, she moved with her family to Columbia, Maryland.
