About
Robert Richardson, MD, is an award-winning general adult neurologist, medical educator and electromyographer, with nearly 25 years of practice experience and medical leadership.
He is a senior attending physician at University Hospitals of Cleveland, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine and Neurology at Case Western Reserve University, and Clinical Assistant Professor at Ohio University.
After attending high school in Germany, Dr. Richardson completed his undergraduate education at Stanford University and medical school at Case Western Reserve University. This was followed by an internal medicine internship at Mt. Sinai of Cleveland, a neurology residency at University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University, and an electromyography fellowship at Case Western Reserve University.
Upon completing fellowship, Dr. Richardson practiced independently in the Cleveland area for nearly two decades before returning to University Hospitals. During that time, he led successful efforts at multiple hospitals for certifications, then multiple recertifications, from JCAHO as Primary Stroke Centers. He has taught medical students and residents for over 20 years. He was in the medical staff leadership at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center for many years, culminating in two terms as its Medical Staff President.
Dr. Richardson speaks on stroke, multiple sclerosis and other neurological topics in Cleveland’s African-American community because he believes knowledge improves access to medical care. He is a longstanding board member and medical advisor for the Kym Sellers Foundation, a Cleveland-based foundation providing education on multiple sclerosis.
He was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and has lived all over the USA, in England and in Germany.

Patient Experience Reviews
Dr Richardson was awesome. After a long struggle to find someone to listen, care and actually do something to figure out what is wrong I finally found the right doctor for me who actually cares about me and how I feel and wants to do whatever he can to help me find an answer to what is happening to me so maybe I can get better. I traveled two hours to see Dr Richardson and I am glad I did.
All good experiences
Good Doctor.

Seeing Dr. Richardson was one of the most pleasant medical experiences I have ever had. His receptionist was wonderful, personable and a pleasure to interact with.

He is the absolute best and so is his nursing assistant clerk. It was the first time that I thought somebody actually cared about what I was going through and understood. He is amazing.
Dr. Richardson and his staff are amazing!!! They are not only professionals but they cared about me, and they were very kind. This was a positive, productive visit.
Dr Richardson listened to my concerns about medicines and side effects. He gave me good advice and answered several questions. I liked his attitude a lot. Some docs push medicine on you and dismiss your concerns. He did not do that. My arthritis is not curable with meds, neither is the restless leg problem. I have tried several meds for it. Awful!
The best most understanding d
Receptionist/Nurse very professional and kind. Dr Richardson very professional and patient. Explained his in office test and the MIR results well.
Very competent. Professional, through.
My visit with Dr. Richardson was most positive. He addressed my concerns, listened intently to my questions regarding my past and present issues. Reviewed my records, reports and recommendations from specialist I have seen as well as asking if I understood or had any questions regarding their recommendations. He was very patient, polite and professional throughout my visit.
Dr. Richardson always takes me seriously and he believes in everything I tell him. He is the most phenomenal doctor I have currently on my health care team. I don't know what I would do without him right now. He kind of took over a primary care role because I am in between primary care providers. He is the most compassionate doctor. He is absolutely amazing. I hope he will be my doctor for a long time to come. I never want to lose him.
ALWAYS TAKE GREAT CARE OF ME THANK YOU ALL GOD BLESS
