Patient Stories

A Truly Life-Changing Experience

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Dr. Richardson and his amazing team! From the very beginning, they combined deep medical expertise with genuine compassion — and that made all the difference for me.

Today, I feel confident, healthy, and fully in control of my journey. The personalized plan, the constant encouragement, and the thoughtful guidance every step of the way were truly incredible. This wasn’t just about losing weight — it was about reclaiming my energy, my confidence, and my joy.

Thank you, Dr. Richardson, for helping me become the best version of myself. I’m beyond grateful for your care and commitment. I highly recommend this practice to anyone ready to take the first step toward a healthier, happier life!

This is from Robert G. I will write a short story about my experience with your services in our first year together. The first photo is before, the second photo is after. I was standing inside the pants I wore to the office on my first visit.

I was referred to Dr. Richardson in January, 2005- twenty years ago. I was excited about my first visit, I had been seeking help with weight loss, and my friend had been doing well on this program.

I was just over 330 pounds on my first visit. I worked hard, and the program really helped me. The first month, I lost 14 pounds. With each visit, the staff was most encouraging, supportive, and friendly. The second month I lost 12 pounds, but felt I had slacked a little. I buckled down and lost 14 pounds in the third month.

I maintained steady weight loss; not that much, but I did average over ten pounds per month! My goal weight was 200 pounds. When I reached it, I continued. I was on the program until the end of February, 2006- 13 months total. When I ended I was under 180 pounds. Over 150 pounds total weight lost. I went from waistline 50 pants to waistline 34. I had never felt better than I did after the weight loss!

Dr. Richardson and staff were amazing the entire time!

I cannot recommend Dr. Richardson highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and supported throughout my entire weight loss journey. Dr. Richardson takes the time to truly listen to your goals and creates a personalized plan that fits your needs. The use of semaglutide injections has been a game-changer for me, helping me manage my cravings and lose weight in a sustainable and healthy way.

The results have been amazing! I’ve lost 62 pounds, and I’ve never felt better. Dr. Richardson and their staff are incredibly knowledgeable and always available to answer any questions. They provide constant support, ensuring you’re on the right track and comfortable with the process.

If you’re looking for an effective and caring approach to weight loss, I highly recommend Family Weight & Wellness Clinic. Their expertise, combined with the power of semaglutide, makes a perfect combination for success!

I have had the privilege of being a patient of Dr. Richardson over the years. I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional medical care supervising my weight loss program. My weight has gone from over 350 pounds to 176 pounds. I chose a steady weight loss program over the years, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and mindful eating habits to accomplish the task and to take advantage of the benefits of his medical weight loss program. The result was a dramatically improved medical condition, better joint mobility, and a significantly better life. Thanks to Dr. Richardson’s program, my medical condition has greatly improved. Medical assistance for weight loss and improved life makes sense, and Dr. Richardson’s program is truly the best I have ever found for accomplishing my goals.

I stepped on the scale, and the number staring back at me made me tear up—60 pounds gone. For the first time in years, I felt like I was reclaiming my life. Semaglutide didn’t just help me lose weight; it gave me the energy and hope to be there for my kids for years to come. Every step I take now is for them and for the healthier, happier me I’ve become. Thank you Family Weight and Wellness for helping me and guiding me through this journey!

The friendly and knowledgeable staff headed by Dr. Richardson will treat you like family during your weight loss journey. Options for phone or in-person visits are available with medications if needed. Motivated encouragement to keep you on track with mindful eating and exercise goals. I am happy to say that I am 57 pounds lighter from where I began. I am now on the maintenance plan provided by Dr. Richardson to keep the weight off. Thank you so much!

My overall experience at Family Weight & Wellness Clinic has been absolutely fantastic! From the moment I walked in, the staff has been nothing short of amazing—always so welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Every visit feels like a positive experience because of how genuinely caring they are. Dr. Richardson, in particular, has been such a wonderful guide throughout my journey. He is truly an expert in his field and always takes the time to listen carefully to my concerns. What stands out the most is how he has taught me to view food as fuel rather than just a source of indulgence. His advice has been a game-changer! Thanks to him, I’ve learned not only how to choose the right foods for myself but also how to make healthier choices for my whole family. I am beyond grateful for the knowledge and support I’ve received, and I feel more empowered than ever to live a healthier life!

Dr. Richardson and Grace, along with their staff helped me do something in a year I hadn’t accomplished in the past five…finally loose the extra weight. I had hoped at 187lbs that I would one day be at least 150. With the clinic’s help, I am now 122! I won’t say I (and sometimes we since I whined a lot to the clinic over the months) didn’t struggle, but it was by far the best thing I’ve ever done. I never could have dreamed I’d be even close to 122. I recommend this clinic to anyone who needs help!
