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.

Dr. Patterson is a phenomenal physician. I have been a patient since early 2014. At my last visit, I observed uncharacteristic behavior. A mistake was blown way out of proportion. Her nurse spoke to the receptionist unprofessionally in front of a waiting room full of patients. Im also a nurse and provide direct patient care. I called that afternoon because it really upset me. Im grateful I did and spoke to both ladies. I truly can't wait to go for my next appointment at her new office.

I've been a long term patient of Dr. Paterson and she has been awesome!!! She takes time with her patients and really works to alleviate their concerns. Great bedside manner and her nurse is awesome too!!! My only wish is that her practice would get an online communication system so that you email questions, etc. Regardless - I highly recommend!!

Awful, unprofessional. Called to schedule a Dr.'s appointment specifically with the Doctor NOT a nurse practitioner. According to the scheduler, I was scheduled with the Doctor. The only appointment they had available with the doctor was 3 months out. So, I accepted it. I called 3 weeks prior to my appointment to see if anything may have opened up sooner and was told that the NP quit so my appointment would have to be moved out 2 months further than previous appointment. I said forget it!!!

Frustrated in Baton Rouge, LA – May 24, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Paterson?
Very condescending office & poor listeners. One my first (and last) I explained to the nurse my medical history and she relayed it to the doctor ALL wrong and when I tried to correct the doctor, she kept talking to me as if I were a child. She was telling me I was wrong based off an outdated blood test. I had to literally tell them to shut up so I could explain. I never went back. A doctor is supposed to be a great listener and Paterson is clear not that.
