The department ran extremely smoothly. From signing in, room assignment to the doctor visit was less than 20 minutes. I was impressed with the demeanor of Dr. Patterson and the time he took to listen to my complicated history. A few days later, I was fuzzy on some of his instructions, so I used MyChart so Dr. could refresh my memory. I was amazed at the quickness of his reply. He has given me great confidence in him for my upcoming surgery.

frankly I was very disappointed, it has been a year since surgery, and am in he same condition as I was and no answer. I know Dr Patterson is the head of orthopedics, but this time he did distance himself and really never said nothing. I did try and ask the appropriate questions, but silence. I will not likely be back, sorry, I feel the CCF is a great hospital like no other, but this time I got less care and poor pain control starting in the recovery room.
