    Dr. Richardson explained her procedures and did an physical exam. She then told me that no surgery was needed at this time. She proceeded to tell me the reasons she came to this decision. She answered all my questions. She didn't seem to be in a hurry. She was there to answer my questions and reassure me with the decision that was made.

  • Nov, 1 2023
    I first came to Dr Richardson after a consult with another surgeon, who I did not feel at ease with. After 5 minutes, I knew that this was who I wanted to care for me during my mastectomy journey. Very informative, not pushy, caring, I made the correct decision with this Doctor!

    This was my 5 year checkup for breast cancer. Although I will miss her as she is the best, I fired her. Hopefully I won't need her again.
  • Oct, 12 2023
    She rushed through visit so quickly and was out of there... I was nauseous and from my chemo and I do have brain fog and that is why I now have to bring my husband to my appointments. The doctor did rush through the visit so quickly and I was having a tough time trying to focus on what she was saying, and I was trying to think of questions but she was out of there so quickly. Very annoyed
