Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He needs to retire
Dr Patton started off as a good doctor with me. But then it became very clear that I was very lucky to be alive and the only one to help me stay alive with myself. He needs to retire. I just left after a few years of horrible health issues not addressed!

Dumped
Dr Patton dumped me in the middle of treatment plan. Patient abandonment. Should have retired years ago. Never helped me with some pretty serious health issues.

500 characters isn't much to describe a horrifying visit with a physician I use this term loosely. I question if he has a mental defect or he simply enjoys humiliating and traumatizing someone who is at their weakest. It's disheartening to think the very people you hope to be compassionate and have some degree of empathy could be the exact opposite. As someone who has had a great deal of trauma in their life you hope a Dr wouldn't add yet another layer to that.I do hope this might help someone
