Reviews
"We were well pleased with our first visit with Dr Patton. He and his staff were very thorough, taking adequate time to evaluate my problem. They were all very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Patton is setting me up with another associate to further evaluate my problem."

"I was a patient of Dr. Patton several years ago. I had knee pain and he treated me before recommending knee surgery. I went through drop foot that was thought to come from my left knee area. He went out of his way to get me to the doctors that I needed for this treatment. He is an exceptional doctor and I highly recommend him."
