Richardson is a mentally harmful psychiatrist. My review and others before me are gentle compared to the fear, anger, sadness, and pain you will experience from a mental health visit with him. I am thankful for the reviews before me and wish I had read before my visit to spare me the added depression, anguish and anxiety. He failed to treat, address my new concerns. He shamed my mental health crisis and instead attempted to discredit, humiliate and confuse me. He asked me unethical and emotionally triggering questions with d... read more

I have been seeing various psychiatrist s to manage my panic disorder for the past 20 years. Dr Richardson is the only one who actually tried to help me mange my panic attacks. Most of the doctors I seen have only asked how I am doing with my medication and that was it. Nothing to try to help me manage my anxiety. I highly recommend. The only reason I stopped seeing him is because I changed insurance carriers.

If I could give a zero I would!!!!! This was the WORST interaction I have EVER experienced in my life. This physician was completely rude, dismissive, arrogant, a narcissist, and made smart remarks. He has no manners, is impolite and doesn’t have good bedside manners( social skills).A career where he doesn’t have to interact with people maybe, but definitely NOT a doctor that has to talk to and interact with patients, especially mental health patients.No patient should ever feel this way about a physician, especially one tha... read more

This was the WORST experience I have ever had at Kaiser in my 12+ years my family been with Kaiser. I took my son to see Dr. Richardson on 08/16/3023 to get the abilify injection for my schizophrenic son. My son was having a full blown episode (with aggression) while at the office. Instead of attempting to talk or coach him through the moment, Dr. Richardson was very dismissive and did not attempt to help my son. I also tried to ask Dr. Richardson questions and he dismissed me as well. This doctor does not care about the wel... read more

I went to him to discuss my OCD. I have been diagnosed with OCD since I was 9 years old. He asked me if I even had OCD!! What a joke

Absolutely not. If I could do zero stars I would. He is plain rude, has no empathy, accusatory, diagnosing based on one 15 minute video appoint and how you "seem" during it. Bad reviews of him are all over different sites. He's at Kaiser now and they should be ashamed. He treats patients like they are not people. The whole appointment should be shown in medical school about how "not" to do your job. He makes you feel like you are a as inferior and delusional. I hope he finds a dr just like himself when he needs one. DO NOT P... read more

Saw him for 4-5 months and that was enough. This was my first time seeing a psychiatrist, so I didnt know what to expect. He gave me antidepressants that I later told him made me not better or worse but "different" in a bad way. In that time, he quadrupled my dosage when I kept telling him it wasn't working (got a DNA test later that year that confirmed those pills were doing more harm than good). His demeanor can be described as "I'd rather be anywhere else than here." He barely seems like he's listening when you're talking... read more

I've been seeing Dr. Richardson for a year now and it was honestly the best decision I'd ever made. He made me feel very comfortable and allowed me to ask questions. I am so happy to have found a treatment that works for my anxiety/depression. THANK YOU DR. RICHARDSON!!
