Some issues Dr. Wade Allen Richardson, MD can help you with:

Anxiety

Anxiety is a generic name given to a variety of conditions characterized by unusual amounts of fear and worry, especially unrealistic fears and tension. People who suffer from anxiety often are aware that their fears are irrational, but that knowledge does not make the feeling of being scared and anxious go away. To qualify as anxiety, symptoms must last for 6 months or more and interfere with the way a person lives their daily life. Some cases may be mild, where, for example, a person simply avoids certain situations. Other cases can be severe enough to be disabling.

Some of the specific conditions covered under the general label of anxiety include:

Generalized anxiety disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Phobias
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Social phobia
Panic disorder

Collectively, anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issues diagnosed in the United States -- even more common than depression. Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with anxiety, and it is extremely common for a person with anxiety to have another illness at the same time, such as depression, a physical illness, or substance abuse.

Treatment for anxiety usually involves medication and psychotherapy together. Medications used may include antidepressants (which also work for anxiety), anti-anxiety medications, or beta blockers (which can be used to control the physical symptoms of anxiety). Psychotherapy can be useful to teach patients new ways of thinking and reacting so that they can manage their feelings of worry and fear. Support groups can also be very effective for anxiety, and they can be a form of treatment themselves for social phobias. Stress management, relaxation techniques, and meditation all help reduce feelings of anxiety or of being out of control. Finally, having a strong support network of family and friends is an excellent way to help manage the difficulties of life with anxiety.

He has some generic answering service that handles the scheduling, and they are TERRIBLE to work with... they refuse to "work in" gravely ill patients, you just need to wait until the "next available" which is always several weeks out.

Since we couldn't get an appointment for weeks, we just went to the ER. The ER doctor recommended my husband see a specialist ASAP (they didn't have the specialized imaging technology needed) and gave us a referral to a specific clinic. Unfortunately, that clinic was no longer accepting new patients, so we needed to get a referral from his primary care doctor to see a different practice.

After about half an hour of being transferred around, hung up on, and all around treated badly, I finally get ahold of someone. I explain that we were instructed by the ER doctor to get in with a specialist ASAP and that we need a referral.

They inform me that they will absolutely NOT write a referral unless he is seen by the doctor (feels like a cash grab to me, all the doctor could have done was listen to his worrying array of symptoms before writing the referral). The fact he is an existing patient who had already been seen in the ER was irrelevant, no referral would be released without a visit and copay.

After explaining that would delay care for upwards of a month (can't get on the books with a specialist without a referral, and can't get an appointment to get the referral for weeks), they pretty much said "sucks to be you" so I gave up.

We got the referral (same day) elsewhere and have since switched doctors. They really deserve 0 stars, I've never encountered a clinic so bound up by red tape and answering systems that they can't address a situation like this. Thankfully my husband received the care he needed and is on the mend, but only over the squawking protests of Dr. Richardson's bumbling staff.
