“Great doctor. Listened to all my concerns and explained everything clearly. They have a phlebologist onsite as well so for annual physicals you can just get your bloodwork done onsite!”

“I saw Dr. Richardson after my wife switched PCPs had her annual physical with him. I really liked that Dr. Richardson took time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. He showed a great attention to detail and provided recommendations for specialists.”

September 22, 2025Don O.Verified patient
Dr. Richardson and his staff are very friendly and kind. Helpful. Wait has never been more than 10-15 minutes and usually shorter. Very good “bedside manner”. Personable and informative. Complete opposite of the “snobby” doctor type we all have dealt with at times. He’s been my doctor for about 10 years and I dread the thought of his retirement. Not an easy one to replace.
Less than 1 year agoJames C.Verified patient
Dr. Richardson was incredibly caring, knowledgeable, and professional. He took the time to listen carefully, addressed my concerns with empathy, and gave thoughtful, balanced advice. I appreciated that he didn’t push for unnecessary tests or treatments, but instead focused on what was truly needed. I felt heard, respected, and well taken care of. Highly recommend!
June 4, 2025Sam T.Verified patient
Was pleased with my visit. The Doctor heard me patiently and described what was bothering me in great detail. He spent a few minutes to talk about similar problems and how they were resolved, before prescribing medications. I'll be using Dr. Robert as my PCP moving forward.
May 28, 2025Prashant N.Verified patient
Great experience. Attentive, thorough, you can tell he really cares about his patients. My wait was a little long today, not sure if that is normal or a one off situation, but I didn’t mind as he truly spends the time required with each patient.
April 2, 2025Veronica V.Verified patient
Amazing. What a great and caring doctor. I had a horrible experience during COVID with my previous doctor. I was really mistreated at First Care Medical Group. Now I was ill and in pain with no Dr. I have heard great about Dr. Richardson. Luckily he took me on as a new patient that same day, treated my issue and called to check in with me a few weeks later. No health insurance bureaucracy red tape. It’s been 4 years and I’m mad I didn’t switch to him sooner.
