Is Richa Patel, DPM a Good Podiatrist?

Richa Patel, DPM has a trust score of 71/100 — a solid, above-average rating for podiatrists in Framingham. With 9 years of practice (below the area average of 13), they are relatively early in their career but past the initial years.

The most important verification step for any podiatrist is confirming an active, unrestricted license with the state board — use the panel on this page to check Patel's current standing and any public disciplinary actions directly at the source.

What to Expect & Cost

A first visit with Richa Patel, DPM typically runs 30–45 minutes and includes an exam of your feet, ankles, and gait, a review of your history, and often on-site imaging. Podiatrists (DPM) are physicians, so most visits are billed to medical insurance. With a podiatrist focus, expect care geared toward that area.

With insurance, expect a standard specialist copay ($30–$60). Self-pay rates generally run $100–$250 for an initial visit, more if X-rays, orthotics, or procedures are involved. Diabetic foot care and medically necessary treatment are commonly covered.

These are general ranges, not Richa Patel, DPM's published prices. Confirm fees and coverage directly with the practice.

Before Your First Visit

  • Confirm in-network status — verify the practice takes your specific plan, not just the carrier.
  • Check if you need a referral — some HMO plans require one before they'll cover a specialist.
  • Bring your usual footwear — worn shoes reveal a lot about gait and pressure points.
  • List medications and conditions — especially diabetes or circulation issues, which change foot-care decisions.
  • Confirm the credential — look for DPM (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) and board certification (ABFAS/ABPM).
