Annual Well Woman Exam

This was my first visit with Dr Richardson since my previous Dr transferred out of town and I was a little anxious. Dr put me at ease as soon as she walked in the room. She was very professional yet warm and friendly. She asked important questions with care. And she performed the exam with explanation along the way and caring touch. I was so glad to have her as my new OBGYN MD.

Pessary Insertion / Removal

Dr. Richardson is simply wonderful. She is thorough, skilled and has a lovely manner in dealing with patients.

Pap Smear

Everyone at the office is so nice, especially the nurses and Dr. Richardson! My appointment was efficient, and Dr. Richardson had so much knowledge when I asked her questions!

Prescription Medication / Rx Refill

Long wait, but otherwise ok. Would like to have an office closer to my location. I had to drive 45 miles, because they closed the office near me.

Dr. Richardson is fantastic. The wait is always a bit long (30 mins in the waiting room), but worth it for such a great doctor experience.

Hysteroscopy

Dr Richardson was very thorough in explaining the procedure to me. She has excellent "bedside manner". She is very knowledgeable and I felt very safe in her hands. She also took my concerns regarding anesthesia seriously and put in an order for the anesthesiologist to call me, which did happen. I highly recommend Dr Richardson.

Dr Richardson is always professional, caring & willing to help Charlie Ann resolve any medical issues she having with her periods. Thank you for all you do at Charleston OB/GYN!

Colposcopy

Dr Richardson and her nurse, Isha, have always been amazing. Everyone else in the office that I have ever spoken with has been short, cold, and often rude. It’s the last thing you want when you’re there for a stressful procedure and it’s really turned me off of the practice.
