Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommend
Everyone I met while visiting the Dentist today was very helpful and friendly. Dr. Richardson was kind, gentle and thorough. One of the most important experiences I had was that Dr. Richardson talked to me, not through me or at me. I highly recommend Dr. Richardson’s office.

I have spent a lot of time looking for a dentist for my young children. They did not have a good experience at our previous dentist. Dr. Richardson has been a life saver. He has been so patient with my oldest child and even sat on the floor to give her a shot. I would highly recommend Dr. Richardson to any young family.

Dr. Mark and his staff are amazing! They have taken excellent care of me and my family. They are very professional, do excellent work, and are extremely friendly. If you are looking for a cold, impersonal, clinical environment - this isn't your place. If you want a staff that will take great care of you and an excellent experience - go see Dr. Mark.

After reading Dr. Richardson's profile here, and seeing that it has him listed as an Endodontist and that he does root canals and treats tooth absesses, I called to make an appointment. I explained that I had an abscess and possibly needed a root canal and his secretary seemed very nice. I was ex-tactic in knowing that I had found an endodontist, good reviews and met all my critia. Later, got a message, that they had to cancel my appt., after seeing xray, you need a Endodontist. Change profile!
