Dr. Patrick has consistently been attentive to my needs and supportive. When I was severely injured, she made time to visit with me in the hospital and the rehab., not just check in and sign papers. She explains things well and answers questions willingly.

I have been a patient of Dr. Patrick for many years. My Husband and daughters are also her patients. I like the way she gives you as much time as you need. She knows your family and will always ask how everyone is it's a nice personal touch. She gives you her undivided attentions and does not rush you! She encourages you to ask questions about your health. She will give you advice to help you in any way possible. I would and have recommended her to many people. She is so personable and I like that.

My elderly mother went to Dr. Patrick for chest pressure -- NO EKG OR BLOODS. The doctor "talked" to her. She went back a few weeks later with a persistent upper respiratory infection, cough and fatigue -- NO CHEST XRAY. SCARY!!! STAY AWAY!!!

I have been a patient of Dr.Patrick's for 25 years and she has never failed me. She always takes the time to really listen and she has, so far, been correct in her diagnosis of any illness and her treatment has always led to renewed health.

I tried to schedule multiple appointments with Dr. Patrick but her staff were never available to answer my calls or call me back. For 3 weeks!!! I do not know what I would have done if I was really sick...I should have just kept the walk-in clinic as my primary..

I have been a patient of Dr. Patrick for almost 25 years. I guess the best compliment is that I hope I die before she retires. She is the best!!!

I love the ambience of the office and the friendly, courteous, considerate staff.Dr. Patrick has always diagnosed me quickly and treated appropriately, both in the office and during hospitalizations. She is very knowledgeable and has a very warm bedside manner.

Does quick diagnosis .She isn't always accurate until a second visit. There is the lack of follow up unless you pay an additional office visit.
