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.

Excellent surgeon
Dr Patterson explained my knee replacement and never made me feel rushed. Surgery went well and I'm doing great. He's an excellent doctor that cares about his patients and their livelihood.

Partial knee replacement
2 week checkup progress of knee replacement went well. Took X-Rays and discussed progress.My Physical therapist could not believe my progress. I don't need a walker or cane to move around. My pain is almost gone completely. I still have some swelling but not as much as I thought there would be. Very pleased!

Straightforward and Attentive
I recently had a total knee replacement. The procedure went as planned. Within 24 hours of the knee replacement, I was able to bend at 90 degrees. I have had minimal pain since the procedure and no issues with the incision healing. Dr. Patterson was straightforward from the beginning regarding the knee issue and how the procedure and post-procedure would be handled. May need the other knee replaced at some point in the future, and I will definitely return to Dr. Patterson if that time comes.

Total Knee Replacement
From the moment I met Dr Patterson I knew I was in good hands about having this surgery done. He took the time to answer any questions I had and explained what would be done and how the recovery would be. I thought the “Get Well Loop” that came from his office every day leading up to my surgery was wonderful. Everyone who is facing this surgery needs to sign up to prepare you for what you need to do before hand and afterwards. You could ask questions and someone in the office would always get back to you in a timely manner.

Total knee replacement
Dr. Patterson is a very caring doctor. He has done both my knees now and very pleased with his care both before surgery while in the hospital as well as post surgery. During doctor visit he seemed very patient and sat talking to me total eye contact and seemed to not be in a hurry to leave which was important to me.
