Patient Testimonials

Testimonial-108

"Dr. Richardson is wonderful! He's friendly and funny. He even plays good music when he's operating. He's a very good surgeon. After surgery, it was a wonderful feeling to see again! I was reading every street sign on the way home. I even drove my friend crazy reading all the signs out loud. I had cataracts removed from both of my eyes. After the first one was removed I couldn't wait to have the second one done! The staff here are very friendly, efficient, and very caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Richardson."
