Great visit. Dr. Richardson made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me. Didn't rush through the appointment. Told me some things to be aware of for my next visit a year from now, but also let me know if I was having any trouble with my new contacts to come back in.

Though I had a bit of a wait, Dr. Richardson did not make me feel at all like he was rushing onto the next patient. He was very thorough and explained everything he was doing so that I was comfortable. And he's a glaucoma specialist and made sure I was checked well as preventative care. I will absolutely be returning to see him.
