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.

Highly recommend but he is retiring!
After having a stroke, my primary physician recommended Dr. Patterson and I am so grateful. A thorough visit, with all my questions answered and a detailed explanation of the surgical procedure, surgery was quickly scheduled and performed. Dr. Patterson and his staff, plus the Dogs, all get 5 stars and they will be missed. Enjoy your retirement.

My time with Dr Patterson was first class.
I had an Aneurysm that was a real worry to me and my wife. I was put at ease from my first visit. The operation was not easy for myself or the doctor and the doctor did a fantastic job. His staff were excellent. I could not recommend Dr. Patterson any higher. The hospital that was used was Mirium hospital in Providence R.I. and that was also a good choice. I have been seeing Dr Patterson now for a couple of years for follow up visits and tests and it has worked out just fine for me and my family. Once again let me say that I could not feel any better about my experience with the docotor and his staff. First rate all the way.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Patterson and his staff (Erin) went above and beyond to help my husband. They saw him some day we called and was diagnosed with a DVT in his leg. Dr Patterson then sent us to Miriam Hospital for treatment. I can't say enough great things about them....truly saved my husband's life.

Rude, arrogant, 0 star rating if possible. He performed a phlebectomy & removed greater saphenous on leg 18 yrs ago. Went back recently, multiple issues, dismissive, treated as though I wasted his time. Vascular surgeon who refused to treat me as though my leg swelling, pain and poor circulation/varices was insignificant. Issues at hand were invalid, unrelated and wouldn't waste his time chasing veins. Thankfully there are other amazing MD's in RI! 2 procedures later feel amazing!
