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.

When entering the office it's like you're one of the family! The receptionist greets you with a "Good morning. How are you?" They take you in, check your vision, and dilate your eyes so they can assess the back of your eye better. They even have a TV you can watch while you're dilating because your eyes get a little blurry when you’re dilating. They never keep you real long. Doctor Richardson usually has a lot of patients but he usually sees me on time. He answers my questions. He is never in a hurry. I have been to doctors where they have one leg out the door. He is not like that at all. He explains thoroughly and he makes sure that you understand. He is always smiling and he answers your questions so you can understand them. He doesn't use these big words that you don't understand. He is very thorough. He makes you feel very welcome and he always gives you samples to try out if available in case it doesn't work, you don't spend $$ to find out it doesn't work. I highly 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 couldn't believe when I took the patch off that I could see and how bright everything was.They are so professional. Having Anna and Jonathan there just made it perfect for me. Dr. Richardson was so caring and loving and explained everything to me step by step.Every time I come in here, I never get treated with anything but professionalism and caring. I would recommend any of these doctors to anybody. They are the most fantastic, the office people as well. I thank them for my life and for my eyesight. Thank you.

My optometrist had suggested I may have glaucoma. I was recommended to see Dr. Richardson. At first I was a little apprehensive. I thought, "Glaucoma? Am I going to go blind!?" Dr. Richardson has been a very pleasant ophthalmologist. We went through a number of tests. Everyone at the office was very pleasant, and everything went well. I've been coming here for, one year now, and the follow up is excellent! I will keep coming back. My wife also intends to come here.
