I have seen Dr. Richardson for my back and and depression for many years. She is so kind and knowledge. I was afraid of doctors before I started seeing her and she makes me completely comfortable. Highly recommend.

Dr. Richardson is a great Dr. She gets to the point and takes care of all your needs. Even with the quickness of the appointment she is also very personable. She makes sure you get to any specialists that you need, and takes care of your needs quickly and correctly. Also you don't have to wait long at the office when you have an apt, which is a added bonus for my busy life.
