Dr. Christopher Patton, DO

I have a Double herniated disc on my L5-S1 disc. Dr. Patton gave me my second injection on 10/09/2023 I was sore after but by 10/0/2023 my pain was virtually almost gone I could walk again with out limping in a straight position. Dr. Patton has been my doctor for several years and he does care about people.

I have been seeing Dr. Patton for several years. I had back surgery in 2007, I have degenerative disc disease, and do not want anymore surgery. He’s been doing injections every 6-12 months and they help tremendously. I saw him yesterday after not seeing him for a year. He asked “How’s your dad in Utah? How’s your son doing with baseball? How’s your husbands cancer?” He also asked me if I was still experiencing numbness in my hand. He diagnosed me with arthritis in my neck and shoulders last year after c-rays and an MRI. His visits are quick, but I feel he’s kind, funny, attentive, and listens to me. He knows I’m trying to avoid surgery, but said even with the injections and PT, it may not be possible. I highly recommend him.

Have seen Dr. Patton for years for pain management. Have had wonderful results with his services. Great assistants.

After waiting 4 months to see Dr. Patton, he was rude with me. He said that he did not have a magic wand to fix my back in a very snide way. He was not communicative and he suggested and epidural that did not help me at all. I was very disappointed with him.

I have had a lot of back pain due to a fall. Dr Patton’s has performed a Back Ablasion, which has helped so much in alleviating my back pain. I’m so thankful his surgical skills came at a time that I needed them most, right before I was going be recovering from a knee surgery. Thank you Dr Patton ~ I appreciate you so much!

I have over 50 years of orthopedic surgeries in my 61 years of living with cerebral palsy. I had all of my medical appointments scheduled in NYC, until it became clear that I would need to establish a relationship with an Orthopedic MD locally. Seeing numerous Specialists, my frustration with unresolved pain was exhausting me. I have no recollection how it came about that I was referred to Dr. Patton (13 years ago), thank goodness I was! He is attentive, thoughtful, reliable as well as being con

I fired him after being his guinea pig for over a year. He was never able to relieve my pain, and I never requested or wanted medication. I felt like he didn’t listen to me. Staff treated me badly when I was scheduled for an appointment and not notified that he was not going to be in that day. I traveled 3 1/2 hours each way to Albuquerque in pain for no appointment, and took a day off work. That was the final straw.

Dr. Patton is an excellent Dr., he tried everything to help my hip without having to go through surgery, but unfortunately my hip needs more. He is getting me the help I need to get better. I would highly recommend him.

After not being satisfied with his solution to help get rid of my back pain, I insisted on getting an MRI. Chris Patton told I was 'a waste of medical dollars.' His tech did schedule a MRI - but he refused to make a follow-up to discuss the results. After having the MRI, I got a CD of the results and written results from the Radiologist that read it, and took it to another Ortho doc, who after looking at the MRI and reading the results asked 'How the hell did you let your back get this bad?'
