I had Cataract Surgery with Dr. Patterson everything looks so modern & up to date. You obviously have everything that would be needed to take care of most any patients properly. It's very impressive. The staff was very nice & courteous before & after the surgery and so was Dr. Patterson. I enjoyed getting the flowers. It's such a wonderful thing to do May God Bless Dr. Patterson & all of the staff.
