Dr. Patterson not only did nothing to help me, but seemed to make a decision on my condition by watching me walk a very short distance, but not listening to a word I said. After driving 3 1/2 hours (one way) and hearing how great Cleveland Clinic is, I was shocked! He didn't address my main complaint, then went on to recommend that I should take 2 drugs that I can't take due to other meds I am on, then recommended 2-3 drugs that I already take - obviously didn't pay any attention to my chart! I really don't think he cared at all how well I faired. Not what I expected or we hoped for. I am in severe pain, in my knee from a tkr in January 2018! All that Dr Patterson would talk about was why my tibia hurts, both of them hurt, so he is wrong anyways. I really need help. He said it would be another year or two of pain. I can't live in this pain, which is getting worse constantly, for that much longer!
