Explained my broken elbow that the ER saw was the old break from last year's fall. Took his time with me, explaining everything. I will use him again in the future, if needed.

I feel Dr. Patterson is one of the few sub-specialists who actually evaluates the whole person. He truly is a complete physician. As a physician myself, I am truly impressed by the high quality of the care he provides. I wholeheartedly give him my highest recommendation.

I was honestly expecting more. I felt this visit was a waste of time and money. I am seen to only be referred elsewhere with no assistance with my condition, no remedies for my pain, nothing! It feels almost like false advertising that you specialize in Elbows, but can't help me with mine. I would highly discourage anyone from coming here.
