“I really have great confidence in both of them!”
Hi. My name is Mayme Ringis. I have been coming to Dr. Richardson's office, and Dr. Pritchard's, for many years, and I really have great confidence in both of them!
My husband and I are both having our cataracts removed on the 21st of July. Dr. Richardson gave us a great CD to listen to at home, and it's beautiful. I told him, he should go into that business because he had such a wonderful voice, and it was so relaxing and very informative. I think everybody should come to him!

“Just met him! Very personable & approachable! I recommend him!”
Hi. My name is Linda Squibb, a patient of Dr. Richardson's. I first met him about five weeks ago. I came to him because I was experiencing some floaters in my eye, and I wanted his opinion as an ophthalmologist on the floaters. So he came in to the exam room and introduced himself, a very pleasant man. He explained what he was going to do before looking in my eyes. Indeed he found the floaters, and we discussed that. He was very pleasant, very reassuring. He recommended that I have another test ...Original review on DoctorsDig.com

“Friendly & Professional, A Cut Above The Rest!”
I've been a patient with Dr. Richardson for 20 some years. I've always found the staff and Dr. Richardson to be very friendly, very professional, and very accommodating if you have to change your schedule or something. Dr. Richardson gave me two surgeries for cataracts and it opened up a whole new world for me. The surgery was very successful and everyone was friendly and helpful. I also have glaucoma and Dr. Richardson has been very faithful to keep me informed. Ive always been nervous about t...Original review on DoctorsDig.com

“Saved My Life!”
I'm a patient of Drs. Richardson, and Kratz, and Pritchard. I've seen all three doctors. Dr. Kratz I saw originally, and he saw something that was in my eye that shouldn't have been. He took the time and the care to contact my family doctor, and he ran some tests and come to find out I had a blockage in the artery to my heart. So in my opinion, Dr. Kratz saved my life!
I also have glaucoma and macular degeneration. They sent me to specialists at Doheny Eye Clinic, which has taken care of it a...Original review on DoctorsDig.com

“Exemplary doctor/staff”
I was certainly nervous about cataract surgery...it's your eyes! Dr. Richardson and his staff are knowledgeable, precise, explain every detail and very patient. I am so glad I choose him to perform my surgery. In fact I am SO happy, I am having my other eye done in a month. He is highly recommended and his staff helpful, caring and kind..

“Personable & Approachable. I recommend him.”
I met Dr. Richardson 5 weeks ago for a second opinion regarding my floaters. So he came in to the exam room and introduced himself, a very pleasant man. He explained what he was going to do before looking in my eyes. Indeed he found the floaters, and we discussed that. He was very pleasant, very reassuring. He recommended that I have another test done on my eyes. I was a little anxious about that, but he put me at ease by saying, “not to worry, I will call you immediately with the results. I often don't. I often let the office call in a few days, but because I detect that you're anxious, I'll mark it on your chart to give you a call right away, to ease any apprehension you might be having."
I was very appreciative of that. I thought that was very nice of him to do that. That just made a very big impression on me that he was willing to do that. Again, he was very personable, approachable and I enjoyed our interaction, and I definitely would recommend anybody coming to him if they have any eye issues. I believe he's very well educated from what I've seen on his website, and would feel very comfortable recommending him for any eye issues or checkups that you might have.

“I'm a very satisfied customer!”
Hello, my name is Robert. I'm a very satisfied customer! Dr. Richardson did a wonderful job on my eye. Let me tell you a little story. I've had glasses probably for the last ten years and my optometrist discovered I had high pressure in my right eye. He suggested that I seek treatment for this. Of course, being a guy I ignored it for a couple of years. It spiked a little higher, and finally I went to my mother's doctor, which happens to be Dr. Richardson. And my mother also, of course, is happy ...Original review on DoctorsDig.com

“We recommend Dr. Richardson and the San Gabriel Eye Associates to anyone that's looking for a doctor.”
My wife and I have been patients at the San Gabriel Va since the early '50s with Dr. Schiff, and we're very pleased that Dr. Schiff had the foresight to get Dr. Richardson on board. Dr. Richardson has operated on both of us for cataracts. We've had excellent results, the difference between night and day, from seeing things in a blurry fashion to things that are very clear. That's why we like this man.
We found that if there is a special problem, Dr. Richardson will readily refer us to a spe...Original review on DoctorsDig.com

“I just really appreciate the care I have been receiving here.”
Hi, my name is Jim Stasny. I have been coming to this office 25 years. It's been that long, so I don't recall how I was introduced to this office. But I was seeing Dr. Frank Schiff for a long time and once he retired I've been seeing both Dr. Kratz and Dr. Richardson. I've had very good experiences here with both of them.
They've been very concerned about my overall well being. They really take the extra care in remembering things about me and are very concerned about my overall well being. S...Original review on DoctorsDig.com
