Care Philosophy
Patient-centered care is the foundation of my practice – in the simplest of terms, our patients are my true north. My lifelong commitment to the craft of orthopedic foot and ankle surgery is guided by the desire to offer patients the best care possible for their unique situation. I feel fortunate to have been trained by some of the world’s most respected orthopedic surgeons, allowing me to address complex surgical challenges using the latest techniques and technologies.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Foot & Ankle Sports Medicine
Foot and ankle sports medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating injuries related to physical activity, such as sprains, fractures, and tendonitis. Specialists use techniques like rehabilitation, bracing, or surgery to restore function, enhance performance, and prevent future injuries for athletes.
Total Ankle Replacement
Total ankle replacement is a surgical procedure where damaged ankle joint surfaces are replaced with artificial implants. This treatment is often recommended for severe arthritis or joint damage, aiming to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve overall function while preserving motion.
Bunions
Bunions are bony protrusion that develop at the base of the big toe, causing the joint to protrude outward. This misalignment can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes. Treatment ranges from conservative options to surgery, depending on severity.
Advanced Reconstruction
Dr. Richardson focuses on restoring function, mobility, and quality of life for patients facing complex orthopedic challenges. He has expertise in advanced reconstructive procedures of the foot and ankle including deformity correction, revision surgery, post-traumatic reconstruction, and limb salvage using state-of-the-art techniques and a patient-centered approach.
