Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Dr. Richardson preformed Basel Joint Arthritis surgery on my left hand two years ago. I need the same surgery on my right hand and I would go to no other doctor than Dr. Richardson. He is a “to the point” surgeon. When conversing with him, he is uniquely profession and an artist in his profession.

I have been seeing Dr. Richardson for years. I have always had a wonderful experience. He listens to me and will treat me conservatively before rushing into anything major. I would recommend him to family and friends.

Our son, who is in his last semester of college at Texas A&M, had a skiing accident over Spring Break and broke his forearm and shattered the bone. He needed surgery right away and he wanted it in College Station. Dr. Richardson was able to do the surgery on Monday and by Wednesday he was able to return to school. Our son is in no pain after a week and is in a brace already with a removable elbow piece so he can type his papers! The staff is also TOP NOTCH and so kind. Highly recommend!!

From my first appointment, the office staff all the way to the doctor has been amazing! I've never had any issues getting an appointment or rescheduling an appointment as the office is very accommodating. The doctor as well as the staff cares about the patient and their needs. I would recommend anyone to come see Dr. Richardson for any type of hand surgery. I have referred my family and friends to him.

I had been having problems with my wrist for several months. I went to a different doctor with no relief. I called to make an appointment with Dr. Richardson and got in the next day. Within 5 minutes of looking at my wrist, Dr. Richardson had diagnosed the problem. My surgery was scheduled with ease. I haven't had any problems since! I would recommend my family and friends to come see Dr. Richardson.

My son fell and broke his wrist and Dr. Richardson's office got him in the very next day. Dr. Richardson explained everything that would happen to myself and my son which made us feel very comfortable. I am very grateful to Dr. Richardson for taking such good care of my little boy! This has been a very easy process!

I recently came to visit Dr. Richardson for carpal tunnel syndrome. He performed my surgery and everything was GREAT! The surgery didn't take long, no wait time to see him, and the staff is great! I really enjoy them. I recommended my roommate to come see him for the same surgery. I highly recommend him for any hand problems you may have.

I have had multiple procedures by Dr. Richardson as well as my daughter. Every experience has been positive with great results. Dr. Richardson spends lots of time explaining the procedure as well as post op instructions with my self and family. Every visit Dr. Richardson runs on time and I almost never have to wait! We are very pleased with Dr. Richardson and would refer our family and friends to him.

My mother, wife, and myself all have seen Dr. Richardson for many years. Our family wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Dr. Richardson has the best bedside manners in the operating room as well as in the office. After our surgeries, he came out to the lounge and explained in detail the outcome of surgery, post-operative instructions, and call to check up on us.

I was not very satisfied with George at all. He is rude and has no respect for his patients time. His bed side manner is horrible. He may know medicine, but he totally disregards his patients opinions, feelings and medical history. He was my last choice for surgery and I almost opted to suffer than let him operate on me. in the future it would be wise to ensure his patient is a sleep before starting his procedure.

Dr Richardson spent much time preop telling us how much he could help with my husbands hand problems. On the day of surgery just before going to the operating room was my first impression he was not able to do what he said he could. What was supposed to be a 20 minute surgery became a 4 hour surgery, multiple follow up surgeries with destruction of function in his hand. Thanks To Dr Richardson my husband is miserable with a minimally functioning hand. Continula pain and angwr now rule his life

I have been waiting for him to come and visit me for about 1 hour. He did not show up. I got off from the work so I went to find him, he was free talking to nurses. I asked him why it's been so long for him to come. He was so inconsiderate, just said: I can come to see you now. I asked for refund because I could not stand seeing a doctor who does not care. He was there when I left the office and he did not even care to apologize. Really terrible experience.
