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.

Awful bedside manner
Don’t use him! Screaming at me on the pre-op table because BP was high! Queen’s surgery team told me to skip BP meds, also he was not dressed to work, and was wearing a filthy backpack on and walked out canceling my surgery for my knee. He did not stay for the retaking of my BP which came down! He ran out and is unprofessional!!

Outstanding professional service.
This was my first visit to Dr. Richardson. He reviewed my previous visit with Dr. Chun, who had treated me for the same issue two years earlier (and which had unfortunately reoccurred), listened carefully to my symptoms, did a physical examination. told me what was the likely the cause of my pain. and referred me to a spinal specialist for additional evaluation. In the interim, he prescribed physical therapy, which had worked in the past to relieve the pain. I left knowing what was the source of my pain, and with a plan for treatment. Could not have asked for more.

Dr R is GREAT in explaining everything so that I understood what was wrong, and how he was going to fix it. Didn't feel rushed and felt very comfortable. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful.

Highly recommended.
I look forward to my ofc visits with Dr Richardson. He is friendly, caring and highly professional. My medical questions are answered with knowledgeable and precise responses. He makes me feel comfortable (to lessen my anxiety) before administering the prescribed injections. Dr Richardson is, by far, the best orthopedic doctor I have ever had; and I’ve had quite a number including those at Straub Clunic. Dr Richardson is a valuable asset to your medical group. Please permit him to always remain at the Waipio office as this 85-year old lives down at the North Shore. Mahalo. Therese Almeida

Visit with Dr. Andrew Richardson
Dr. Richardson has a warm personality and makes me fell like family. He answered all my questions. Unlike other medical professionals, he gives you all the time that is needed to examine you and explain what to expect in the future. I am truly fortunate to call Dr. Richardson my knee surgeon.
