Visits are always Excellent. He is extremely caring and understanding of his patients situations. I always feel like he has given me all the time I need at appointments. He explains the medical conditions thoroughly along with different treatment options and always follows up in a timely manner. It’s easy to see he truly cares about his patients!! I can’t recommend him enough!!

Have been seeing him for a couple of years. I like the small private practice with him and his office manger. I feel i get more of a 1:1 feel, he makes time for you and through his portal, it's easy to ask questions, update him or refills, etc. I love that he's invested in my help and his caring nature.

Dr. Patterson is a genius with medication. I have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life, and it wasn't until I started seeing Dr. Patterson in 2005 that I finally started feeling better. He is kind, caring and understanding. He also challenges me when he thinks I could be doing better, and he looks for ways to help me improve myself in addition to taking medication. I would not be where I am today without him, and I am so grateful that Presbyterian Hospital recommended him in 15 years ago. If I could give him 10 stars or 100 stars, I would.

After struggling with Depression and Anxiety, I went to doctor Patterson after a recommendation from a therapist. I got to his office and was seen almost immediately. He diagnosed me after filling out a series of tests asking how I felt in certain situations. He gave me practical advice and tips and acted like another therapist to me. He also prescribed me Prozac, which has absolutely worked wonders. He checks in every 6 months if things are going well. If you want a doctor that actually cares about you, go see Dr. Patterson.

I have been seeing Dr Patterson for around 15 years. He is a caring MD and will look for different methods of treating symptoms until he finds the ones that work. He has solved many issues that other MDs could not and he takes time to listen. I wouldn't see anyone else, unless I couldn't afford the out of network cost

Dr. Patterson was great in the beginning. He listened and acted like he cared. As our sessions continued he got worse. He did not try to find ways to help me and attempted to pass me off to others. I would not recommend him to anyone that needs care. I was worse mentally by seeing him. He gave me pills and didn’t follow through on if they were working. Look for someone with compassion and caring when dealing with mental health.

My son is bipolar and an adult. He was diagnosed 2 years ago and has maintained his meds since, until recently. I’m part of his therapy even signed paperwork to be allowed to be part of the therapy. Come to find out he stopped taking his meds. Dr. Patterson became angry that my son who has bipolar lied about takin the meds and rather then give him his necessary medication he denied him saying he doesn’t trust him knowing full well without it my son will go into psychosis and end up hospitalized.

Dr. Patterson literally saved my life. After going to a quack for two years, the wrong cocktail of meds for bipolar, several attempts on my life, 100 pounds gained, and being committed twice, my mother was recommended to This practice through a mutual person. He took me off of all the medication that the quack and two hospitals had me on, and took it old school. He prescribed Stelazine and Lamictal, along with an anti anxiety and sleep mix and I have not had an episode in 3 years. I love him.

my daughter n law has seen Dr Patterson for the past year and she is in worse shape now than she was before. I called his assistant a week ago letting them know my daughter n law wasn’t doing well. They never followed up with her or my son. Dr Patterson gave her a prescription for adderall on top of lithium and whatever else he prescribed. She hasn’t slept for 4 days because of adderall & she had to be committed the other day. The ER doctor did not agree with Dr Patterson for giving her adderall

My son has been seeing Dr. Patterson for 5 years. When we moved here from out of state, he was appalled by our experience with doctors who only wanted to treat my son with high doses of meds upon meds for no rhyme or reason. He took my son off of his meds and started with a clean slate. He slowly introduced appropriate meds that helped my son, AND he spends time at every appt with him. He always explains things to my son, including fun facts or answering all of my son's off the wall question.

Dr. Patterson is the most empathetic, caring MD I've ever been to see. I saw him for about 10 yrs. and hope to return to see him again. Insurance and Healthcare has changed so much but Dr. Patterson has not. He will still spend the same amount with each patient and provide the same excellant care no matter what. I will always be grateful for all he did to help me. Previous pt. and a nurse.
