"Dr. Patton was very personable and he did not mind answering questions and helping me to understand my injury. He and his nurses also did a great job in getting back to me in a reasonable amount of time when I called in and left a voicemail."

"Dr. Patton is beyond best! He is not only extremely competent but is a loving, caring doctor. Our whole family depends on him. He rebuilt my Mom’s fractured foot at the age of 90. At 96, she’s still walking with no assistance!"
