I have dedicated my professional life to relieving pain and suffering. I am a competent, compassionate and caring physician. As a fellow I was given the "Best Bedside Manner" award. As a pain specialist my job is to relieve pain in the safest, most effective manner possible. Please remember that every patient is an individual and one patient's experience is not a reflection of my practice as a whole. I can guarantee that you will not find a more compassionate environment and that I will always listen to you and address your concerns. Additionally, you can be certain that you are receiving the highest quality and most up to date care available in the country. I look forward to meeting you!

Dr. Patterson is obviously well-skilled in his field. I was impressed by his quiet manners as he listened to me explain my issues and concerns. He then performed the clinical exam as I performed movements and described my pain. He then had me sit down and we discussed his findings and treatment plans, which included an MRI of the lower back. He and his staff were very fantastic! I am again fortunate to be under the care of another great medical practice. I left the office feeling much calmer. I look forward to my follow-up visit.

What else can be said? Dr. Patterson is truly a "Top Doc". The time he spends with the patients, the level of care, concern & just the overall respect he shows everyone. He's keeps the patient informed about what he's doing & the plan of care for them. His staff is very professional & are equally nice & caring for the patients. He's been my doctor for 9 years & will continue as my pain management specialist forever. If you're looking for a smart, handsome (it helos), caring, compassionate doctor with a dynamic staff make an appointment. You won't be sorry

Before becoming a patient of Dr. Patterson's I didn't think that I was going to ever experience life pain free again, I was told by other physicians that I was going to be in pain for the rest of my life and I just had to learn to live with it . Not True .... Dr. Patterson has given me my life back !!! Dr. Patterson listened and heard all my concerns and took the time to educate my spouse and I on diagnostic tests and procedures. He had the best bed side manner I have ever experienced. Thank you Dr. Pickens Patterson and Camp Creek Staff.

Dr. Patterson is a wonderful physician. He is very intelligent - knows just the right questions to ask - while also very empathetic to patients' pain. I experienced severe back pain for years. Dr. Patterson worked with me to identify the source of my pain and to develop a treatment plan that has worked wonders to improve my quality of life. Dr. Patterson took his time to ensure he accurately diagnosed the cause of my pain and recommended a comprehensive treatment plan, while also ensuring I fully understood everything he planned to do. I highly recommend him.

I was always treated with respect and made to feel like a fellow professional. I do not get along with his replacement. He listened to what I said and I felt comfortable with him.
