Dr. Betty Richardson

Dr. Betty Richardson is a board-certified endocrinologist with 19 years of experience in the management of diabetes, thyroid disease, and adrenal disorders. She earned her medical degree from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and completed endocrinology and metabolism fellowship at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics, where she developed subspecialty expertise in thyroid cancer management and complex diabetes care.

Dr. Richardson's diabetes practice encompasses type 1 and type 2 diabetes management, with particular expertise in advanced insulin delivery technologies including continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and hybrid closed-loop systems, and continuous glucose monitoring interpretation. She runs a diabetes technology clinic that evaluates patients for insulin pump candidacy, initiates pump therapy, and provides ongoing device optimisation, working closely with certified diabetes care and education specialists to maximise patient competency and outcomes.

Her endocrine oncology practice focuses on the evaluation and management of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, from fine needle aspiration biopsy and molecular testing of indeterminate thyroid nodules through risk-stratified thyroid cancer management, radioactive iodine therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer, and long-term surveillance. She co-leads a multidisciplinary thyroid cancer tumour board with head and neck surgery and nuclear medicine.

Dr. Richardson has published on outcomes following closed-loop insulin delivery in type 1 diabetes and on the clinical utility of molecular testing in thyroid nodule evaluation, appearing in Diabetes Care and Thyroid. She is a fellow of the American College of Endocrinology and serves on its diabetes technology committee. Patients consistently recognise her for her patience in explaining complex glycaemic data and her accessible explanations of thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment, making her one of the most sought-after endocrinologists in the region.
