I absolutely love, Dr. Richardson! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel safe. I didn’t feel rushed during my appointment at all as I have felt with past providers and I truly felt like she cared about my overall well-being. She is a rare gem and I am overjoyed to have her as a part of my medical team now.
