Jodie Richards has called Missoula home for over 26 years and truly embodies the active Montana lifestyle. She attended Big Sky High School and went on to study at the University of Montana, after growing up in six different states—an experience that helped shape her adaptable, people-first approach.
Outside of the clinic, Jodie stays busy and energized by hiking, running, paddleboarding, and reading whenever she can. Much of her free time revolves around family life, traveling frequently for her son’s hockey games and her daughter’s competitive cheer events. She also enjoys spending time with friends and family—and of course with her dog, Bear.
Jodie is a self-proclaimed food enthusiast who loves sushi, pasta, and frozen yogurt, and her favorite color is any shade of blue. What she enjoys most about being part of the Alpine Foot & Ankle Clinic team is the opportunity to truly connect with patients—getting to know them, sharing stories, and creating a welcoming environment where care is personal and often filled with laughter.
