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.

I’m new to the area from Baton Rouge I had a baby by c-section 9/20/2019. I have been having irregular periods and occasional spotting ever since. I need to have a full exam and recommendations I’m currently on norethindrone .35.

Dr. Patten has been my doctor for a couple years now and has helped me through everything that has come up. I feel like I can trust her and count on her to offer all options concerning anything I may have going on. She is a great supporter and answers everything she can to the best of her ability. I'll continue to see her until she leaves the practice!

Dr Patten has been my GYN for 12 years. I have recommended her to neighbors new to the area. She has always been available and I am fortunate to have her as my doctor.

It took me a while to find a gynecologist that I felt comfortable with after years of searching and talking with others. She's very easy to talk to, takes time to listen to any concerns that I may have, and sincerely cares about me and my health! I feel like I'm in good hands and thankful I found a great doctor!

I've been going to Dr. Patten for years and absolutely LOVE her! She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, but I especially like the way she makes me feel comfortable and like she's more than my doctor, but a trusted friend.

I love Dr. Patten. She was there all through my pregnancy and helped deliver my son. I still continue to go to her and my son is almost 9. She listens to you and makes sure all of your needs are met. I always recommend her!

I love Dr. Patten! I have recommended her to many of my friends and family because she is such a wonderful doctor. She has delivered two of my children and I trust her completely. She makes me feel completely at ease and takes the time to help me understand whatever we are discussing. She is great!

I had two appointments with Dr. Patten, it felt like I was a bother to her. She really just put me a birth control and sent me on my way. Turned to find out after switching to a different doctor I have Adenomyosis and endometriosis.

Its extremely unfortunate that the MDs at this clinic hire such unprofessional, inadequate, and rude front of house and supporting staff. To boast that this is an independent clinic on their website, you'd presume the hiring managers would select personable, educated, and stand-up brand ambassadors rather than the degenerates they have on payroll. I'd like to say the MDs are awesome however, 30 minutes you spend with them can't overshadow the endless hours you must spend with support staff.
