One of the best in Hawaii. Procedure he performed on my left knee in 2017, is trouble-free 6 years later. Treatment leading up to surgery, the operation itself & the recovery were much easier than anticipated thanks to Dr. Richardson's outstanding abilities. He also complements his surgical skills with a willingness to effectively communicate w/his patients and definitely leaves you w/a feeling that he cares for his patients. I've referred family & friends who've all thanked me for the referral. I'm now giving him the ultimate referral...he is currently helping me w/my right knee. Aloha! Warren Hamamoto

I can’t say enough about Dr. Richardson and his staff! Especially Marcie!!!! She is an absolute rockstar who always goes above and beyond, my husband had a partial knee replacement end of September and I a total hip one week ago. This is your knee and hip guy for sure! This office runs smoothly and everyone is attentive and caring! If ever in need…..don’t look anywhere else!
