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.

Time and Attention!
In contrast to most of my recent medical provider experiences, I was grateful for a few minutes of relaxed and focused time by Dr Patterson that was devoted to my issues. He made me feel cared for, directly addressed my concerns, listened and sought to understand my needs-- overall, a fantastic experience!

Best doctor in town
Dr Patterson is hands down the best doctor in town. I took my mother to Dr. Hanson before him, but he told me Dr. Patterson was going to be able to preform a better job as my mom had a significant hand fracture. From day one, Dr. Patterson and his team fulfilled our expectations. What a pleasant team to work with. He even opened his schedule today Friday to squeeze in my mom and get her hand fixed. We will be forever grateful that he cared and helped her. I would recommend Dr. Patterson 100% to any of my friends or family members if they are ever in need. Keep it up Dr. Patterson, way to show you truly love what you do.

Not likely
I went to the office with a patient. Dr. Patterson may be a good doctor, but that is not what we experienced. Long wait times and rushes through the consult., at the end of the consultation he lied to us.

Worst experience
Staff was friendly, Doctors were horrid. They refused to listen. Insisting that I was not following aftercare, caused more pain than I had when I went in with.
