The Best Breast Surgeon Ever!
I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Richardson to do my mastectomy. Her skill and bedside manner are above and beyond anything I had hoped for. I am grateful everyday that I was under her extraordinary care! She took what was a frightening situation and somehow magically made it pleasant! I was completely calm and confident in her which subdued all my fears and helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. It is with overwhelming gratitude that I write

Lucky to Have Found Dr Richardson
I would be completely lost if it was not for Heather and all the girls at the Bedford Breast Centre... Heather has held my hand for the last 4 months and kept me semi-sane during this time. Her capacity for compassion is extraordinary, and when she saw me heading in a direction she did not agree with, she gently persuaded me to make a better decision. Thankfully it's all over now, but she remains available for any random questions or concerns I may have. I cannot recommend Dr

Dr. Heather Richardson is Top Notch!
........YELP!!!! DR RICHARDSON....... Yelp I think it would be an understatement to say I may have just found 1 of the best Surgeons upon finding Dr. Richardson! She was so very generous with her time in answering my many questions regarding such a sensitive topic with my first time mastectomy, which was highly emotional for me. She not only spent quality time with both my husband & I, but also educated me regarding the latest information & tests available regarding Cancer.
A Western Trained Breast Surgeon that is Open to Alternative Matters
As many of the other women pointed out - receiving a Breast Cancer diagnosis is the most dreaded news you can imagine. You feel so out of control and helpless. All that changed after I was referred to Dr. Heather Richardson. As I sat anxiously awaiting her to open the door to meet for the first time and go over my biopsy report, my mind was racing. In walked this kind soul who, when I offered my hand to shake said, "No, I'm a hugger!" She hugged me - WOW! I never had that happen
Thank God for Dr Heather!
I woke up with a lump in my breast and panicked. I called my OB’s office, but he was in a delivery and couldn’t see me till the following day. His office recommended I call Bedford Breast Center. I immediately called and they got me in that afternoon. Dr Heather did an ultrasound and told me the lump looked safe, but she could do a biopsy if I wanted to confirm. I am an anxious person and have a friend who is fighting breast cancer, so I requested the biopsy. Dr Heather did it

My experience was amazing!
My experience with Dr. Richardson was awesome! I was a referral and sent all necessary papaerwork; thereafter I was booked and Dr. Richards took me right away. Dr. Richardson was concerned, thorough, and professional. Dr. Richardson took her time to evaluate and provide the next best steps in my health. I felt as if she was 'Heaven' sent and It's rare to find this in many physicians. I felt secure, safe and was confident in her expertise and knowledge as a physician. I truly and
The Most Compassionate Surgeon
One doesn't need fame nor fortune to feel like the most blessed person on this Earth. You only need a physician in your life during a major cancer scare who is as caring, kind and compassionate as Dr. Heather Richardson. A breast cancer diagnosis weighs heavily on a woman's heart, soul and mind. A second diagnosis even more so. Dr. Richardson not only discussed my options, she took out pen and paper to sketch the outcome of different procedures. Being an artist, as well as a surgeon,
Best breast surgeon in town!
I was referred to Dr. Heather Richardson by my naturopath doctor for a massive lump measuring 8 cm on my left breast. I've never had any surgery before and naturally I had a lot of anxiety about the procedure. Dr. Richardson put all my worries at ease immediately and was very thorough and informative all throughout the process. She is a very gifted a surgeon with impeccable bedside manners. I ended up having 4 lumps removed from my left breast with very minimal pain and scarring.
I had an amazing experience - Beverly Hills, CA
I was referred to the Bedford Breast Center from my doctor at Cedar Sinai. I feel so blessed to have found this place. The staff is amazing and Dr. Richardson is incredible. They are all so patient and compassionate. I had a biopsy done in the office and within only two days the pathology reports came back. Dr. Richardson suggested to have the lump removed. I was so frightened and concerned that it was cancer. She reassured me that it was not cancer, but that it should be taken
