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.

He know his Job!
Dr. Patton explained my injury (high grade torn rotator cuff) to the best of his ability and gave me options if I did not do the surgery. He scheduled PT session and still inquired about having surgery. I would recommend my family and friends to go and see Dr. William Patton.

Outstanding Physician
Everything at AOC is so professional. Completely coordinated from check-in through x-ray to physician. Dr Patton’s manner was so warm and friendly. His treatment recommendations and care were just what I needed. So thankful we have access to physicians like him in Mobile.

Excellent Doctor
First of all, AOC was able to get me in the same day I called. Dr Patton took the time to explain my injury in depth. He explained the recovery process as well as what to expect in the future. In addition to being an excellent doctor, he has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend Dr Patton and AOC.

Dr. Patton is very personable and an excellent surgeon. He communicates in understandable terms and clearly explains the details of pre and post operative care. I highly recommend him. His medical assistant, Ashley, is most helpful.
