Dr. Richardson is always prompt and through. She has a very pleasant demeanor. She has twice gone beyond what I was being treated for and included two other small areas I was concerned about for free. She referred me to anothercompetent physician for a needed procedure to accomplish my goals.

Loved my provider, however, front desk staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. One staff member was having a personal conversation with another client/friend as I waited to check in. She saw me waiting, and continued to ignore me as shewrapped up her personal convo. I then watched her tend devotedly to the other "high end" clientele as I was treated as though invisible and then only spoken to in one-word commands. Would not recommend this office to friends or family.

Blakely Richardson was extremely kind and recommended a well thought out and logical plan for treatment about a issue I had been experiencing for the better part of a year if not longer. That is far more than I can sayabout the three previous professionals I saw for the same issue. She listened to my symptoms, took time to visually confirm the issue, and presented her thoughts and plan clearly and concisely. I left my appointment feeling confident she was committed to finding a resolution to the issue if our initial plan didn't address it quickly. I would certainly recommend her office to friends and family.
