Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Breast Surgeon for Breast Cancer
I was referred to Dr. Richard Richardson by my primary physician's office after being diagnosed with breast cancer. I can't say enough about Dr. Richardson and his staff. Dr. Richardson walked me through every step of the process and always made sure all my questions were answered. He was comforting but also realistic in helping me understand the expected outcome of my prognosis. Every appointment and follow up I had were made promptly and with sense of urgency. In numerous times, Dr. Richardson reached out to me outside office hours to let me know findings of any recent test results (Pathology, MRI, Biopsy...etc). He understands the anxiety and fear a patients feels while waiting for results and reachd out to me as soon as he receives them. My surgery went well and still recovering from it. He is already highly recommended but thought I would share my experience. Sending big Thanks to Dr. Richardson and his staff!
