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.

The Best Doctor I’ve Ever Had
Dr Richardson doesn’t just see you for your scheduled appointment purpose; if I have other questions and concerns she’ll address them completely. She makes the visit feel like a relationship with someone that truly cares for you.

What sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares—she doesn’t just treat symptoms, but she treats the whole person. I highly recommend Dr. Richardson!

Other than parking (which is controlled by the Hospital, not the Doctors offices), visiting Dr Richardson is very simple and efficient. I was able to quickly complete the paperwork and was called into the back quickly and did not have a long wait before seeing the Doctor
