Kimberly was very helpful in checking up on my health and well being over our scheduled video call.

I can’t say enough good things about this doctor. She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and truly takes the time to listen. Every appointment feels unrushed, and she explains things clearly in a way that’s easy to understand and reassuring. What I appreciate most is how attentive and thorough she is. You never feel like just another patient , she genuinely cares and makes sure you feel comfortable and confident in your care. It’s rare to find a doctor who balances expertise with such a calm, compassionate approach. I’m very grateful to be under her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor they can trust.

First time appointment-transferring primary care. Dr Richardson was very thorough in reviewing my medical history. Spent time discussing various aspects of my health and how we’d proceed going forward. Like her personality -professional but also has a sense of humor.
