I typically hate spending money at the doctor because of the run around and surprise costs. This experience changed my view of doctors. I got excellent care and the fact that the doctor actually showed me how to save money on my tests and medications was incredible.

I wanted to start on GLP-1 medications and Dr. Richardson gave me incredible guidance. I was able to get my prescription and save thousands of dollars due to her recommendations of pharmacies that give discounts. Dr. Richardson was kind.
