Dr. Patterson has been my doctor for over 30 years. He is brilliant. He has the true qualities of a doctor, caring, compassionate, he knows how to listen. He is always available. He is an amazing doctor, knows his patients and his art. Open-minded and responsive. I can't recommend him enough. He even answers my msgs and emails from all over the world due to my work. I am scared for the day he retires. We love you Dr. Patterson

Michael D. in Falmouth, ME – Apr 19, 2017
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Patterson?
Dr. Patterson is a first-class bully. My insurance through Blue Cross only covers my blood work only if it is done by LabCorp. At one point Dr Patterson required that I get the bloodwork done through Solstas, and made it appear that there was a medical reason for him to do this. This would set me back several hundred dollars unnecessarily. After asking for a script for blood work so I can take it to LabCorp, I got an unexpected letter from Dr. Patterson discharging me from his practice.

Dr. Patterson is the best doctor I have ever had. Dr. Patterson is a general practitioner and is very well-versed in most areas of medicine and he also know when to refer you to a specialist. He has a great network of specialists in every domain I've needed and even some "non-medical" areas like counseling. His office runs smoothly and his staff has been with him for years and they know all the patients and are pleasant and extremely efficient.

Dr. Patterson has got great skills all around, but he tends to be a little too chatty. That's the main reason that I stopped seeing him. I didn't have a lot of time to spare and kept eyeing tge clock.

He is very smart, listens to questions and I trust his judgement. I also trust he would make sure I received the right care in any emergency or ill situation.
He is a talker, so I have learned to go in with a prepared list of questions or talking points and that works well.
