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.

Love him .. Has been our Dr dice he came to Ionia ..

He is very knowledgeable, thorough and a complete professional, which is evident when speaking with him or any one of his staff. He obviously has influence on his staff because they mirror his level of professionalism.

Dr. Patera has been my eye doctor since I was in 5th grade. (1990) I would not trust my eyes to anyone else. Dr. Paterson now sees my daughter. He is kind, patient, caring. He takes his time and truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Patera.
