Have been seeing Dr. Richardson for years excellent doctor.

Dr. Richardson is outstanding in his care of 17+ years. We are having trouble with trying to schedule a procedure that Dr. Estrada is requested. The scheduling center of heart is not good about returning callls, schedluling etc. When told to Dr. Richardson, he said he would send a message to Dr. Estrada. I was so relieved. Unfortunately I got a return call and the place to have the TEE was not acceptable. I am still hung with the scheduling. We so appreciate Dr. Richardson going the extra mile. Wish others at Vanderbilt would do so.

He is one of the most considerate, patient physicians I have ever met. He takes the time to explain in detail so you walk away feeling informed and positive about your visit! Thanks to him and his staff!
