Dr. Francis Patterson, MD

Dr Patterson performed surgery on my father in 2018, to remove a large soft tissue mass. Dr. P came highly recommended and we assumed we were in good hands. However within a year, the mass had grown back. When we returned to see Dr P, we were surprised that he did not want to follow up or meet with us (my father was 90 then and in good health). Instead, his residents tried various in-office attempts to extract and squeeze the liquid to reduce the mass. Then when it became infected, Dr Patterson still never addressed us. Finally my Dad had to find a new Dr. to have a 2nd surgery to remove this infected mass. That’s when we learned that upon reopening the wound site, parts of the original mass was still there and not completely removed, which was why it grew back so quickly. It was shocking that Dr Patterson never took accountability for his mistakes and neglected my father when he needed his care and followup.

Dr. Patterson and his staff are a breath of fresh air. He quickly diagnosed the cause of my child's emergency, ordered further testing to confirm the proper treatment plan, and informed my daughter and me of possibilities and next steps every step of the way. His bedside manner is exemplary and meant a lot. As an added bonus, his PA and staff are exceptionally efficient and caring. Outstanding experience with top notch care. We are truly grateful.

Dr Patterson's staff was very attentive prior to and during my visits and kept me appraised of what was happening. When I had my visit with Dr Patterson he explained fully what my options were and what the consequences of the procedure could be, both positive and negative. I found his "bedside manner" very comfortable and not rushed. He answered any and all of my questions.

Dr Patterson has been treating me for Chondro Sarcoma Bone Cancer since 2015. He operated on my right humorous to remove a tumor. Almost 5 years later the cancer came back in my right scapula and he removed that also. I find him to be an excellent doctor along with his excellent staff. He is caring, great bedside manner, and he has the best PA in Allyson Wright. I see him every 3 months and always look forward to seeing him and Allyson. I would recommend his practice.
