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.

Active Listener
I was so pleased to find Dr. Patterson who expressed an interest in what my perceived needs and concerns are and really listened attentively, to partner with me for the best outcome. Many doctors have a time quota so I am used to rushed appointments but this one was refreshing as there was no feeling of urgency to conclude the appointment quickly

Went in for blood work. Dr. Patterson went over my history, checked to see if my shots where up to date. Asked how I was doing. I have always felt relaxed and that she really listens to me and carry on a good conversation and answers my questions.

Dr. Patterson has been my doctor for years now and I just LOVE her! She listens, which a lot/most doctors do not do these days. She is concerned, helpful, and will do what is necessary to help you, whether tests, medication, etc. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Her nurse is phenomenal too! Office staff always great!

My last visit was actually a follow up to my recent surgery in Nov. , I like that I never have to wait very long. My doctor is always well informed regarding my latest surgeries and specialist visits. We always go over my meds and the doctor never rushes me through the visit All the people who work there are very nice and encouraging. Just a great doc .

Dr. Patterson and her nurse is amazing! Dr Patterson listens to you and doesn’t rush through the visit. She is a very caring and thorough. She doesn’t just prescribe medication and send you on your way. If needed she will request lab work or any test needed. If test come back with concerns she will contact you personally to discuss results to make sure you understand and answer any questions. I can contact her through the patient portal if I have any concerns and get my results.

Dr. Patterson is an excellent physician. She is very professional, while very effective in her communications with me. I am reassured that I am in very good hands for primary care. I am a retired administrator of a large Family Medicine practice and have long experience in evaluating physicians, so I have a perspective shared by few. My physician friends agree with my assessment of Dr Patterson.

First visit. She was excellent. Very professional and listened to my concerns. I had to call the nurse as I forgot to give some new prescription information during my visit. Nurse Jan called back...then I had to call again about a problem that just cme up. Nurse called back, answered questions. Told me to call if and when I needed them. Fantastic experience with everybody. Oh and she has lab in the office to do bloodwork there, which was so convenient. Nurse called me back with update on bloodwork and had called in a new prescription. Can' say enough good about my first experience with them. Highly recommend!
