I was made to wait 30 minutes in the appointment room. No Doctor. No explanation. That was not good.

No I would not, canceled a appointment and they charged me 50 dollars anyway, had to cancel another appointment 5 times and they just didn't get it, told them I had another doctor 3 times and they still didn't get it. Worst system I ever had to deal with, they even went into my bank account and tried to take 50 dollars out for a appointment I canceled on line

Dr. Richardson is super nice and has great bedside manner. He was responsive and sensitive to all of my concerns, and filled in my form to be reimbursed for getting my physical even though it was the last day to do so. It as a great visit.

He is very sweet , mild-mannered and listens closely to what you are feeling. I was very lucky to have found him as looked in the area for months ..
December 25, 2023Donald C.Verified patient
I have been struggling with chronic pain and POTs and took over a year to finally get a doctor to listen to me. He not only listens, he tries to understand and is not afraid to give you the hard truth. He’s an honest gentleman.

Dr. Richardson is excellent! He communicates well and has great tone. I felt like he heard me and addressed all my concerns. Only small negative is that his assistants seem a little green. They are very nice but experience is lacking.
