I am extremely grateful for the exceptional care and support I received from Miss Richardson throughout my retinal surgery journey. From the very beginning, she made sure everything was clearly explained, arranging all of the pre-operative steps with efficiency and reassurance. Her support didn’t end there, she continued to check in and guide me through every stage of my recovery, making a stressful time much easier to manage. She was consistently kind, patient, and genuinely committed to my wellbeing. Her professionalism and compassion gave me complete confidence in the process. I couldn’t have asked for better care, and I truly appreciate everything she did for me. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of specialist eye care.

The best doctor I have come across! From the moment I enquired about an appointment, Miss Theresa Richardson was incredibly accommodating and managed to fit me into her schedule. She was exceptionally thorough, taking the time to explain everything clearly and explore all possible causes of my symptoms. She carried out detailed investigative tests and did not stop until we had clear answers. She truly goes above and beyond for her patients, with outstanding communication and response times throughout. Miss Richardson is extremely knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and reassuring at every stage. She is without doubt one of the best doctors I have come across, and I could not recommend her more highly. A true gem.

Miss Richardson made it easy to understand and receive the procedure. She was empathetic, no nonsense but humorous. I feel all the other patients had the same experience. All the staff in the clinic were helpful and kind

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
