I just wanted to say that Dr. Paterson is just phenomenal. I just feel that she is so thorough and such a great primary care physician. I've been going to her for years and she is a doctor that I've just always been so very happy with. It's actually hard to find a really good doctor, I think, and she is definitely one of the best. So I just can't say enough about her. I'm very happy with Dr. Patterson. And that's it.

Dr Paterson is fantastic! I've been her patient for almost 30 years and I couldn't ask for more from a PCP.

I think that Dr. Paterson is on top of her game. She certainly has my best interest at heart. She sent me for a CAT scan and it was hard to get an appointment, but whatever she did in the meanwhile, between the first and second try, I got one the very next day at 9 o'clock in the morning. Maybe not 9, maybe 10. But I think she really went to bat to do it. And as pleased as I was that the CAT scan showed no problem, she has then went a step further and had ordered a blood test. So just in case the fact that the CAT scan was clear might not have addressed my issues. So I can't say enough about her.

She is a very gifted primary care physician. She can integrate a ton of information in my medical record, listen to my questions / requests, has detailed knowledge of so many topics, and has a great office manner - such that she can evaluate what is going on (including looking at skin issues and comment on them), make recommendations on medications / weight loss, make recommendations on follow-up (blood tests, cardiology visit), and discuss a sensitive topic - all in a short visit (not a complete annual visit). Wow. I did not fill rushed. And we covered everything. She was also realistic that my insurance company may not approve what I was asking for - and provided solid thoughts regarding how long it would take. And what reasons they might approve it. And reasons they might not. I cannot imagine a better office visit experience. Thank you so much.

Dr. Paterson is extremely thorough. I've been seeing her for years and she remembers everything, every nuance, every peak and valley of my medical experience, my medical history. I feel very much myself around her and that I can tell her anything and she listens and always seems to have all the time in the world. She's just a really dedicated provider and I just kind of look forward to my visits, I guess, because I know I'll be thoroughly taken care of. I think she's especially good about vaccines and seems to always know the latest and have a personalized recommendation for the vaccines.
