How likely are you to recommend Dr. Patterson?
I went to the freestanding ER at Medical West for treatment of severe abdominal pain. I had a great experience with Dr. Patterson. I found him capable, personable, and polite. He took excellent care of me. He answered all of my questions. He diagnosed my condition and treated me for it. I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Patterson and with the Medical West freestanding ER. I have been there before and have always received excellent care there. This time, and each of the previous occasions, the nurses, the technicians and the entire staff were wonderful.
