Patient Reviews
Oct 26, 2023
Dr. Patterson took the time to build rapport with me, which was helpful. Presented all options available to me, gave his recommendations, and answered my questions. Did well to kindly tell me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. I trusted/do trust him. I did not experience any of the complaints mentioned in other reviews. His office staff were also helpful. My wait was short—actually seen before my appointment time. Recommend.
