Going with Dr Patterson and staff has been the BEST decision I've ever made. It was LIFE CHANGING .

The staff was very friendly and understanding. I had trouble finding parking, so I was about 20 minutes late for my appointment. And they were very accommodating and understanding. Again, everyone was pleasant from even the PA that was working underneath the doctor. Very, very good team.

I was sent a bill for the office visit. I have Medicare & a secondary insurance.

Very polite, friendly and professional environment. The office was very bright which is calming. I felt very comfortable.

very good surgeon who explained the things before and after very nicely and the surgery was done also very competently and the rehab process has been also explained properly. So very much satisfied and would like to recommend him to others also. Thank you.
