Exceptional Spent a lot of time. Very knowledgeable and informative. A different office told me they would do injections but had nothing else to offer me. Dr Richardson really cared and learned about me and came up with a plan that helped me feel better without injections I highly recommend

I was diagnosed with a facet joint injury in my mid-thoracic spine. My insurance made me see Dr. Richardson before I could see a spine specialist. There was no exam and she said she hadn't seen an injury like mine before and wasn't comfortable providing treatment. She informed me that she thought she knew someone at some physical therapy office that may be able to help me but wasn't sure. She charged me a $60 copay and asked to see me again in 4 wks. WHAT?!

I couldn't get in locally for an EMG for almost 2 months. The pain I was having needed attention much sooner as it was really bothersome. I am not one to take drugs as bandaids and want to find the cause. I was able to get in promptly and was most impressed. This is a small office with personal attention to details. Dr. Richardson was very personable, listened intently to my issues, did a thorough review of my medical history and proceeded with the EMG. Sharing the results with me.
