As a fellow physician, I have rarely come across a provider like Dr. Richardson in practice. She is upstanding, caring, considerate, and most importantly, a strong advocate for her patients! I am humbled by her care and I hope very much to be her patient for as long as possible -that is, of course, should my present diagnoses need continued, active care. Dr. Richardson is an extraordinary clinician and researcher who I hope one day is well-recognized not only for her accomplishments on paper, but also at the bedside.

She is very thorough, compassionate, and knowledgeable. At my regular visit I brought up some concerns. While I was still there, she telephoned another of my specialists and they collaborated for further assessments. Secondly, there were issues with preauthorization of a medication. In addition to the nurse following up, she also personally called me back to update me on the status.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
