One of the friendliest consultants Ive met. professional as well as courteous and personable. She explained the reasoning behind my eyelid cyst which shes probably had to do a million times in her career and addressed the problem on the same day. She also checked for Glaucoma only because I suggested a history of it in my family out of concern. She further voluntarily followed up with me the following day to ensure everything is healing well. I highly recommend Miss Richardson!
