excellent results.
Education & Training
After graduating with top honors from the University of Southern California (USC), he received the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship to attend Harvard Medical School. While in medical school, he accepted a research fellowship at the National Institutes of Health to study visual cognition. Dr. Richardson then completed an internal medicine internship at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, which was followed by ophthalmology training at LAC+USC/Doheny Eye Institute in Los Angeles – one of the top ophthalmology residencies in the country.
Experience & Specialization
Dr. Richardson joined the San Gabriel Valley Eye Associates in 1999 and became San Gabriel’s first ophthalmologist to use such modern technologies as the accommodating Crystalens (with cataract surgery) and the iTrack microcatheter (canaloplasty glaucoma surgery). Dr. Richardson is among an elite group of glaucoma specialists in the country performing the highly specialized canaloplasty procedure. Patients have traveled from as far away as Mumbai, India to have canaloplasty by Dr. Richardson.
Dr. Richardson not only performs canaloplasty, he also teaches other surgeons how to do so. As one of the leading canaloplasty surgeons he regularly gives talks at the national meetings of eye surgeons. As part of his quest to make this safer glaucoma surgery available to glaucoma patients throughout the world, he is often asked to fly out to teach individual doctors how best to incorporate canaloplasty into their practices. Dr. Richardson was recently included among a panel of respected glaucoma surgeons whose goal was to find ways to make it easier for other eye surgeons to learn how to perform canaloplasty. You can read what this panel had to say here.

Radiology: Experts debate safety of x-ray scanning at U.S. airports
healthimaging.com — “On March 11, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced that it would re-test 247 x-ray scanners in use at U.S. airports after maintenance checks indicated that the devices emitted radiation doses 10 times higher than expected. As the agency attempts to untangle the matter and a March 16 Congressional hearing focuses on the TSA and whole-body imaging, experts weighed in on the potential health risks posed by backscatter x-ray screening in the April issue of Radiology.” View full resource at healthimaging.com

The Transportation Safety Authority Screens Travelers Inside and Out | Medical Lessons
medicallessons.net — “I'll be staying near my home in Manhattan this week. But if I did have plans to travel by airplane for the holiday, I think I'd be apprehensive about the new screening procedures implemented by the Transportation Safety Authority (TSA). My concern is not so much with the scanners...Rather, I'm worried about screening errors - false positive and false negative results, and about harms -- physical and/or emotional, that patients and people with disability may experience during the screening proces” View full resource at medicallessons.net
