“First time at this practice. The office is lovely and all the employees were friendly and helpful. My appointment was at 3:00 and I was seen promptly and efficiently. Very impressed with this appointment. Dr. Richardson was very easy to talk to and explained options and what was entailed.”
“Love their team! I appreciated how Dr Richardson/her asst approached my concerns directly and conservatively. Initially came in for under eye filler and she recommended prp/topical/spf instead for a more natural look. I know plenty of drs that would’ve just done the more expensive treatment, so I really appreciate that.”
