We have known him and his family for over 30 years. My parents took my siblings and I to him when we were kids and now I take mine to him! He was able to diagnose things other doctors were not able to diagnose and he is extremely knowledgeable. He has been known to give his home number or to patients and also call to follow up after a visit or after hour call .. even to those who have not known him for years. ( Not to sure about the negative review already on here. As a nurse it sounds to me like a patient who is a know it all and went against what he said. I have NEVER heard a complaint about him. ) I would recommend him or his wife to anyone!

My parents took me to Dr. Richardson my entire life. He always did a wonderful job with me and my asthma complications. Now that I am married and have my own children, I have begun to take them to him. Thank you for all of your help Dr. Richardson!

Dr. Richardson was great. He found a problem that our child had which had been undiagnosed by other Doctors. Great Job!!!!

We have seen Dr. Richardson several times when our regular pediatrician was out. He has misdiagnosed my child every time we have seen him. We will not see him again. I have wasted a lot of money on co-pays and prescriptions only to turn around a few days later when my child is even sicker and have to go back in to see our regular doctor...or end up in the ER as we did on one occasion. He doesn't listen to what you have to say. The other two doctors in the group are excellent and the office staff is great.
