Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Patterson is a wonderful Gastroenterologist. He has found a treatment plan to help me with my Gastroparesis. So many other doctors just seem to say that Gastroparesis is not really treatable. Not Dr Patterson,. he developed a comprehensive plan for me and I found him to be understanding, patient focused and he has given me hope!!! His Medical Support Staff is so reassuring, caring and responsive. I would recommend Dr. Patterson very highly to family and friends!!!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Patterson?
In the hospital, Dr. Patterson's techs were extremely rude and invasive to me and the hospital staff, standing around in my room waiting for him to arrive even though I asked them to leave the room. Written instructions said to have an office visit within 1 week and yet the earliest his staff would give me an appointment was 6 weeks. I would not go to Dr. Patterson again because of his staff, which is a reflexion of him.
