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
