What our patients are saying about us

I was very impressed with the staff and how they covered all my issues. They gave me samples and offered me different options to my needs. Even gave me diffrent options with my prescription cost. I will definitely go back. They have appointments open too. Its very hard to get into a dermatologist.

I have been a patient for many years and have always been thankful that my doctor first referred me to to Dr. Richardson. She and all her staff are extremely knowledgeable and very professional. Moreover, the office carries excellent cosmetics, including clear and tinted sunscreens. However, my very best recommendation is how upbeat and friendly everyone is! I had an appointment last Thursday, and walked out freling so happy, positive, and geared up for the rest of the day!

Dr. Yawn is the best. She really listens to your concerns and will work with you to find a treatment that is a agreeable to your needs. I had a surge of acne all from scalp to my mid-back but didn't want to take an oral antibiotic because I have a really sensitive microbiome and taking antibiotics seems to do more harm than good to my overall health. She agreed to respect my hesitation and recommended a topical treatment first. She seems very invested in patient satisfaction.

I was recommended to go here by a friend and I found good reviews online. Dr Richardson was a great listener and took the time to see why I came in and gave some great suggestions and prescribed medications to treat. Will go back if ever needed and will recommend to others.

Always very detailed in the doctors explanation of each potential area of concern. Staff is friendly and easy to speak with. Very accommodating with scheduling. I always leave happy that I came. Dr. Richardson is thorough and fun to talk to and listen to. You won't regret being her patient. She is the bomb! Michael

Loving my new Dermatologist! I've been in Austin about 2 years and had a couple appointments with another dermatologist and just didn't feel like they really listened to my concerns. I've seen Vanessa Yawn 3 or 4 times now and she's awesome! She wants to hear every little detail you can give her to make the most of your visit and help get to the route cause of your issues.
She's both great in person and I just had a video conference with her (due to COVID) that went really well. They set you up ahead of time to send pictures they can review and then use Zoom to video conference. Very smooth process where she was able to address and confirm my WeMD'ing concerns (heh couldn't help myself). They are a little backed up right now, so get your appointment in as soon as you can.

I'd been going to another dermatology practice in the area for a couple of years, but felt pressured to invest in very expensive products and wasn't seeing results. Mostly, my rosacea is an issue and frequent small breakouts. Decided to try Westgate and Dr. Richardson and all members of the staff were wonderful. She recommended I continue with one prescription, but use a new cleanser and "less is more" for all of the lotions. My skin immediately got better -- day one. The doctor and one of the nurses talked to me about the laser treatments and were so genuine and honest about the options. I didn't have any of the issues with billing or appointments. No pressure or up-selling. They take time with you and are so knowledgable and courteous. I'd definitely recommend.

I have had one visit with this doctor, and I was very impressed. Dr. Richardson is smart, thorough, and kind. She diagnosed my skin ailment quickly, and prescribed medication that resolved the problem within a few days.
Dr. Richardson prescribed medication that my insurance company would not approve. Dr. Richardson's nurse was on it first thing the following day jumping through all the extra hoops to get my medication approved within a day or two. If my family members or friends need a dermatologist, I will not hesitate to send them to Dr. Richardson. I give Dr. Richardson my highest recommendation.

My sister who lives in Austin recommended we visit while we were in town. It's now a part of our Austin route in when we are in town. My kids been fortunate to have found help for their acne and when Dr. Richardson isn't available we are always happy to see Sharon. She shows true compassion for what she does and my children have clear skin. It's amazing how this affects their confidence and daily lives.

Dr. Richardson has been treating my son for acne for nearly 6 months. We've been there several times... once for an initial consult, and a few follow up appointments.
She always takes time to talk to us about the acne treatments. We never feel rushed.
Most importantly, the acne treatment she prescribed for my soon has worked well. His skin looks great and he's gained a lot of confidence.
I give my highest recommendation to Dr. Richardson.
