About Angelique Richardson, MD,PhD

Angelique E. Richardson, MD, PhD

Founder & Medical Director
Angelique E Richardson MD PhD | The Center for Phenomenal Health & Wellness Inc.
San Diego, California

Angelique E. Richardson, MD, PhD, is a board-certified medical oncologist, physician-scientist, and nationally recognized leader in breast cancer care, cancer health equity, and women’s health across the lifespan. She is the Founder and Medical Director of The Center for Phenomenal Health & Wellness, a concierge women’s health practice in San Diego dedicated to menopause, perimenopause, cancer survivorship, and long-term wellness for women.

Dr. Richardson brings together academic rigor, clinical excellence, and deeply personalized care, offering women a level of expertise typically found at major academic cancer centers—delivered in a thoughtful, relationship-centered private practice setting.


Academic & Clinical Leadership

Prior to founding her private practice, Dr. Richardson served as an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) within the Comprehensive Breast Health Center. There, she specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer while leading and contributing to clinical trials, translational research, and community-engaged cancer equity initiatives.

She has served as Principal Investigator on multiple national and industry-sponsored clinical trials, including Phase I–III breast cancer studies, and has been actively involved in advancing access to clinical trials for historically underserved populations.


Research, Scholarship & National Impact

Dr. Richardson is a physician-scientist with dual MD and PhD training, holding a doctorate in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics with an emphasis in cancer biology. Her research has focused on:

  • Breast cancer biology and signaling pathways

  • Cancer health disparities and survival inequities

  • Biomarkers in breast cancer prognosis and treatment response

  • Implementation of patient-reported outcomes in underserved populations

She has authored peer-reviewed publications, contributed to textbook chapters, and presented her work nationally and internationally through organizations such as AACR, ASCO, SABCS, and NIH-affiliated forums.

Her work and leadership have been recognized through numerous honors, including:

  • Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials Leadership Award

  • Merck Investigator Studies Program (MISP) funding

  • Early Stage Investigator Awards

  • National leadership roles in cancer equity and survivorship initiatives


Women’s Health, Menopause & Survivorship Care

In addition to her oncology expertise, Dr. Richardson is deeply committed to women’s health beyond cancer treatment. She specializes in helping women navigate:

  • Perimenopause and menopause

  • Hormonal and non-hormonal symptom management

  • Long-term survivorship and quality-of-life optimization

  • Wellness strategies for women at high risk for breast cancer

  • Care planning for women who are not candidates for standard hormone therapy

Her approach is evidence-based, individualized, and deeply informed by her years caring for breast cancer survivors, making her uniquely positioned to guide women through complex hormonal transitions safely and thoughtfully.


Education & Training

Dr. Richardson earned her Doctor of Medicine (MD) and PhD from Loma Linda University, where her doctoral research examined molecular drivers of aggressive breast cancer biology. She completed:

  • Internal Medicine Residency at White Memorial Medical Center (Los Angeles)

  • Hematology/Oncology Fellowship at Penn State College of Medicine

  • Advanced Clinical Breast Oncology training at the University of Miami


Professional & Community Leadership

Dr. Richardson serves on numerous local, state, and national advisory boards, including:

  • Susan G. Komen National Advisory Board and Leadership Council

  • California Breast Cancer Research Council (University of California)

  • American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)

  • American College of Physicians (ACP)

  • National Medical Association (NMA)

She is a frequent invited speaker for professional conferences, community organizations, and national educational forums, and remains deeply engaged in mentorship, advocacy, and community outreach.


Care Philosophy

Dr. Richardson believes that women deserve time, expertise, and care that honors the whole person—not just a diagnosis. Her practice model is intentionally designed to provide:

  • Longer visits

  • Direct physician access

  • Thoughtful, personalized care plans

  • Preventive, survivorship-focused medicine
