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.

Honest, Straightforward Dr. Recommend
Dr. Patterson took the time to build rapport with me, which was helpful. Presented all options available to me, gave his recommendations, and answered my questions. Did well to kindly tell me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. I trusted/do trust him. I did not experience any of the complaints mentioned in other reviews. His office staff were also helpful. My wait was short—actually seen before my appointment time. Recommend.

In 2010 I crushed my L-1. I am extremely grateful he was on call in the emergency room. He took care of me for 5 months. We followed his instruction to the letter. I was advised that I would probably has some discomfort throughout the years. To this day I still follow a lot of his instructions. I have experienced none of the problems I expected. His temperament and bedside manner I could care a less about. He knows his stuff.
