Dr Patton is GREAT! He did my sons gallbladder surgery and my husband's colon resection. When he next had a colonoscopy they could hardly tell where he resectioned it. Wonderful surgeon with a great personality.

Highly skilled with the best bed side manner you can get. Very good at what he does and lets you know what is going on. He is there before and after any procedure. I could not ask for anymore.

The most caring and compassionate doctor, he never rushes, answers all questions even if asked more than once. He is insistent on his patients comfort and dignity

He is a very good surgeon, and takes time to explain things and answer questions.

Dr. Patton seems like he cares UNTIL he operates on you. Performed a very serious surgery on me that I have come to find out from previous tests (which he had been provided), that I should have NEVER had. Now that I am in a terrible state with all sorts of issues he won't even return a phone call. His nurse is always nice on the phone and says she will talk with him and she assures you one of them will call back but they NEVER do. Having to go to a university hospital to see if they can do anything surgically to give me some sort of life back because no gastro doctors around here will take the case because of #1 him, #2 he is only a general surgeon and #3 there was no gastro doctor involved in my care. Neither Patton or our family doctor was watching out for my welfare because this is evidently standardly know procedure in the medical community, My family doctor referred me to Dr. Patton and I was not under the care of a gasto doctor. That is the kiss of death in finding a… gastro doctor to see you. If you are considering gastro surgery in a small town area, please insist that you have a consult and are under the care of a gastro doctor in case of complications. Sure wish I knew the lawyer on the review in which the lawsuit is pending because I would very much like to talk to the attorney.
