    Dr.Patton was the 1st doctor to actually listen to me about the amount of pain I was in. I spent almost 20 yrs dealing with fibroids & endometriosis with no one believing I was actually in pain like I was. Within 2 visits he had me scheduled for surgery. I was in almost no pain right after the surgery & have been able to finally live my life pain free. It's not something I ever thought would be possible. I would recommend this practice to anyone. Especially anyone who has given up on ever feeling better. Dr. Patton has changed my life & I can't be more thankful.

    Doctor Patton was a beacon of light when I needed healthcare and had serious lack of access previously. He was so understanding, never probed me about any personal history that was unnecessary - which helped me come to a revelation after having so many weeks and months of being made to feel uncomfortable, unserved, invisible. I actually first spoke to him when I called an operator on the weekend about an important appointment and he was so patient, while the operator suggested that maybe any Doctor Who speaks to me will not be patient with me if my signal is not good. I would go to Dr. Patton again, however for this next procedure, because his schedule is so booked I'll see another doctor. I highly recommend him though. He's very sensitive and trauma informed I believe.

    This was a painful procedure, but that was unavoidable. I wish that we had discussed pain control, even though I know the research is iffy on whether it is helpful. The notes said that we discussed what impacts to expect the IUD to have on my cycle, but I don't think we did. Since this was a complicated insertion and I had already had conversations about it with the referring doctor, I am not particularly concerned about this. It is also possible that he covered it very quickly and I just forgot because I was focused on getting through the procedure. We had attempted the procedure a few days before, and I'm fairly certain that he had not told me I needed a full bladder for this second attempt with ultrasound guidance. The portal did tell me that, but since it always says that even for transvaginal ultrasounds where it is not necessary, that wasn't helpful. Overall, Dr Patton was kind, attentive, and friendly. He communicated clearly and let me know what was happening in real time. He got me this appointment on very short notice so I wouldn't have an issue with insurance as I change jobs. I appreciate that.
