After I tripped on a step in Heidelberg, I was kept at ease by Mr Rodney Richardson. He explained my fracture care options clearly and arranged a smooth casting process at Warringal Private Hospital. Recovery has been steady and I appreciated the practical physio referral he suggested.
I injured my shoulder and wasn’t sure what to expect. Dr Richardson was calm and gave me a clear plan for joint injections and a return-to-sport timeline. The team at Burgundy Street were friendly, and I felt in good hands from the Heidelberg clinic through to follow-up.
Great service all round. I appreciated the thorough explanation of my casting options and the honest advice about recovery. The staff at Warringal Private Hospital were lovely, and the location in Heidelberg is convenient for my commute.
Had a minor fracture and was worried I’d be out of action for ages. Mr Richardson put me at ease with a precise treatment plan and the splinting was done quickly at his clinic. Ready to get back to bushwalks along the Yarra trail soon.
Very impressed with the care I received for a knee injury. He discussed all options, including injections if needed, and the follow-up appointment was timely. Heidelberg is fortunate to have such a thorough orthopaedic surgeon.
The whole process from initial consult at Burgundy Street to the casting and the physio referral was seamless. I felt supported every step of the way and appreciated the practical guidance on rehab.
Dealt with a shoulder issue and felt like I was in capable hands. Mr Richardson gave clear expectations and the joint injection option was explained well. The Heidelberg clinic is easy to access and the staff were friendly.
