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. Patete is fantastic. He took me in on short notice, same day and treated me for removal of impacted ear wax. He was kind, passionate and skilled. His office staff was incredibly kind and most helpful. I highly recommend this medical office for great care.

Dr. Patete is an excellent physician, period. He was able to help me with my sinus condition when no other Dr. I'd seen in over 25 years had been able to do so. He's no nonsense and you might not get the warm fuzzies when you meet with him, but he knows what he's doing. That's what really matters, isn't it?

Never! He is rude and arrogant! He dismissed my concerns out of hand and ordered tests on the basis of made up diagnoses and then never called me with results of tests that were performed!! He is a disgrace to his profession!

All was great, the staff, and of course Dr. Patete. I was referred to his office for a follow-up on a sinus problem. Dr. Patete is knowledgeable, and honest . A very caring person with a good soul and skills, who could ask for anything more.

Excellent appointment. All of the office personnel were very pleasant and courteous. My appointment was right on time. Dr. Patete was excellent. He asked me what my problem was and immediately began his examination. After the procedure, he explained my condition and answered all my questions. Left his office very satisfied.
