San Marino Eye

Dr. David Richardson is a phenomenal doctor meticulous in his work and incredibly knowledgeable in his field. In addition to his expertise, he is very pleasant and approachable. Every question I had was answered with patience and clarity. His staff is also very pleasant and professional, which made the entire experience even better. I'm 50 years old and not considered a typical candidate for cataract surgery at some places--many wanted to put me to sleep for the procedure. Dr. Richardson, however, has a strategic, well-organized setup that's both clean and efficient. The surgery was quick, and I felt completely safe throughout the process. I visited several clinics before choosing Dr. Richardson, and it was clear he's a true perfectionist. Although I paid out of pocket, I have absolutely no regrets. If I need surgery on my other eye, I will definitely be coming back here.

I have been seeing Dr. Richardson, Anna and the rest of the staff for a while. Other doctors were only interested in testing me until my vision decreased. With Dr. Richardson we test and adjust to keep my eyes health and vision sharp for years to come.

Dr. Richardson has been a blessing, I had been diagnosed with Glaucoma in both eyes and suffering from high eye pressure and some vision changes. I previously had surgery on my right eye to correct the glaucoma, high pressure and vision changes with another doctor in Beverly Hills and he completely ruined my site in that eye, plus he did not correct the pressure as promised. I then found Dr. Richardson and he has done procedures in my left eye and now I am seeing 20/20 in that eye with excellent pressure in that eye and we are now scheduling the surgery in my right eye to try and fix the damage the other doctor did. Dr. Richardson is so very detailed , compassionate and understanding not to mention his skill as a Surgeon is unsurpassed. He is the the top of his field and I would recommend him with all my heart to anyone. Also I would like to mention that his whole staff is an amazing group of people that truly care about the patient and are always accommodating to us. The overall experience has been amazing and I just wish I could have found Dr. Richardson from the very beginning. I want to thank him and all of his staff for all they have done to help me and my family.

I share my sincerest and honest thoughts on the excellent care and procedures performed on my eyes by Dr. David D. Richardson within several years ago and the current care of my eyes. Dr. Richardson is the most patient and understanding and humble doctor I've had the pleasure of being his patient and for so many more years to come. His staff is and has always been available to provide for their patients much concern and help when needed. Staff is courteous polite and always with a smile and cheerful greetings. I highly recommend Dr. Richardson and staff to anyone in need of the best Opthomologist. They are wonderful

As a seasoned RN, I can attest that the care that Dr Richardson and his office associates deliver are SUPERB. Dr. Richardson operated on both my cataracts. I sought a couple of ophthalmology opinions prior to choosing him because of a prior eye injury. The reason I chose Dr. Richardson as my surgeon is because he extended a highly communicative and personalized approach that was non hurried, extremely thorough, detailed, and reassuring. His primary front line RN manager Anna and associate Heather run an exceptionally efficient office that exceeds in coordinating the all fine details of care with skill, timeliness and compassion. I am extremely grateful for Dr Richardson and staff's care and demeanor. Nancy A Fisher RN, BSN MA

Dr Richardson is the most professional optimoligst I have ever gone to - the tests they do at ea visit become an open book for his evaluation and understandings. I have been with two other opthamologist over time and Dr Richardson has been the most spot on for my situation and has good solutions, I totally trust his procedures and recommendations. In addition he is is an excellent surgeon, very skilled.

Dr. Richardson and his staff were all welcoming and supportive. The examination I received was extremely thorough. The staff took the time to make sure the quality of the tests and imaging was good. Dr. Richardson took time to answer all of my questions and to give me helpful guidance in managing my condition. I received notes and results of the tests summarized for my personal records. I highly recommend San Marino Eye to anyone seeking help with vision issues.

Dr. Richardson and staff welcomed me warmly from my long flightfrom the east coast. I was immediately put 'at ease' with a cordial welcome by Dr. Richardson who offered me a refreshment while I briefly waited for vision evaluations. Ana began the pre-op testing and did not rush but administered the workup with careful concern including personally transporting me home from the surgical center. The office manager Heather took her preciouse time to speak with me at some length which made me feel valued and acknowledged. The technicians Wendi and Laya were unfailingly gracious and never hurried. My assessment/consultation with Dr. Richardson was extraordinarily comprehensive, wherein he covered all the options pertaining to my case.. His dilligence about details helped my understanding of therisks incurred for my particular surgical challenge. His presentationwas anything but 'clinical' or paternalistic. Dr. R. always made me feel respected and listened to ~ even to the point of my request for 'Smooth Jazz' during the operation. In summary, I would highly recommend Dr. Richardson's holistic approach balancing patient lifestyle with safe and effective surgical interv
