Had cataract surgery and he drop it behind my eye. It resulted in terrible. Nine days later I had retina surgery to have it removed. This was four months ago. Thousands of additional expenses plus I still have poor vision and probably permanent eye damage. Stay away from this guy. He never even had the decency to call and see how I was doing

There is no way I can adequately describe how much I value Dr, Richmond. From the first moment I spoke with him, throughout my cataract surgeries and post surgery visits this gentleman was pure class. I could tell he cares a GREAT deal about his patients both personally and professionally. This includes all of his staff as well.He never failed to take the time to answer my questions or concerns before and after the two surgeries. He eased the fears I had and that meant a lot to me.The flowers given to me after each surgery were a pleasant surprise.Dr. Richmond, if you are reading this I, once again, want to thank you for your professionalism and caring about me.
