Dr. Patterson is wonderful. He's the reason I am still able to walk today. He listens to his patients, explains things well in a non medical fashion and is warm and compassionate. An excellent doctor.

Really enjoyed Dr.Patterson exam but I wish he would have explain why I couldn't get knee medication. He just said that would make my pain worse.

After I broke my foot and dislocated my ankle last year, Dr Patterson was my surgeon. He took very good care of me, and after this last visit, he informed me that this would be my last visit with him. I thank him for his professionalism and his kind smile, that he always greeted me with. He also has an excellent listening ear. He's definitely a keeper!!!!

I have known this provider for a long time. He cared for my injury 25 years ago. Dr Patterson is the one doctor I trust for any issues with my knee. The visit went well with only one problem...for whatever reason, my x-rays were not available to review. He surmised my problem with a suggestion of taking Tylenol for pain. He did say he would call me on the following Monday to explain my x-rays in full. Unfortunately I did not hear from him. I did see my x-ray report on MyChart but would appreciate an explanation in laymens terms. What to do if pain persists or gets worse. With my past history what options would be available.
