W. Lee Richardson, M.D.

Dr. W. Lee Richardson became interested in orthopaedics after he sustained an injury as a high-school athlete. His interest in helping others combined perfectly with his fascination for how the human body functions. Dr. Richardson enjoys helping his patients regain their independence and ability to interact with the world around them by treating their hand and upper extremity injuries and conditions.

Every patient is different. Dr. Richardson explains conditions and situations fully to each patient and involves them in the decision-making process. Most patients have a pretty good idea what their problem is and how it is affecting their life. Dr. Richardson believes his job is to guide them to the best solution for their particular situation. He helps his patients understand their condition so that they can make it better, together.

In his free time, Dr. Richardson enjoys being with his family and playing basketball. He is also involved in his children’s athletic pursuits and an active member of his church.
