Provider Spotlight: Thomas Richardson Jr., MD @ WWMG Cardiology

Dr. Richardson has been a member of WWMG's Cardiology team for over 20 years, and is a board-certified Cardiologist with a passion for helping patients live healthier, fuller lives.

As the director of the WWMG Heart Failure Clinic, he specializes in managing complex cardiac conditions, but his true passion lies in preventive cardiology. He works closely with his patients to improve their nutrition, increase physical activity, and find ways to incorporate exercise into daily routines, all with the goal of preventing and treating heart disease.

A patient recently shared, "Working with Dr. Richardson has truly improved my health! My blood pressure is down, my good cholesterol has increased, my A1C has dropped out of the Type 2 Diabetes range, and most of the inflammation in my body has gone away, so I am almost pain-free. Thank you, Dr. Richardson!"

When not in the clinic, Dr. Richardson loves spending time with his family, trail running, and racing in ultramarathons. Staying active and balanced is a priority for him, and he brings that same passion into his practice to inspire patients to take charge of their heart health.

We're grateful for the experience and care Dr. Richardson has brought to our patient care team over the past two decades (and counting)!

Provider Spotlight: Kristen Boyce, DPM @ WWMG Podiatry

After being a competitive ski racer for over a decade, Dr. Boyce sought a career in Sports Medicine. He could relate to the importance of proper foot function as well as athletes performing with foot pain.

Podiatry has allowed him to treat a wide range of patients: from 2 days old to 102 years old, including those who simply want to walk down the hallway, or others who want to climb Mt. Everest. His goal is to offer conservative or surgical treatment options that allow patients to do their desired activity without pain.

One patient recently shared, "My experience with this office and Dr. Boyce has been stellar! The staff is knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. Dr. Boyce performed a bunionectomy on my left foot. [He] is very patient and explains the procedures and outcomes clearly. He and the staff took very good care of me."

We're grateful to have Dr. Boyce on WWMG's patient care team!
