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.

Dr. Patterson was condescending and dismissive and wouldn't listen to what I told him. Prescribed me a medication, but then said he couldn't tell me if it might interact with other medications I'm taking .. he doens't know these things.

My previous ophthalmologist retired earlier this year and referred me to Dr. Patterson. I first saw him in May 2017 for my annual examination, and was diagnosed with glaucoma (I had been on a glaucoma watch for several years). Since May, I have seen him a number of times while we evaluated my disease and treatment options. Dr. Patterson is prompt, thorough, and respectful of my goals in making treatment recommendations.
