Dr. Patton is the third gyn I've seen in this practice, & I'm really grateful that I got to see him for a gyn issue that was causing a great deal of discomfort & that I did not yet understand. Dr. Patton, in that one visit, not only explained what is going on but also performed a procedure that continues to give me complete relief of my symptoms. He took extra time in order to do this. I will be glad to continue seeing him as my gyn provider.

For me, he's the best doctor ever. He takes his time to explain to me every single detail, even if I don't want to hear. It's a pleasure for me to have him as my OG.

Dr. has common sense which is an aspect of treatment / medical care that doesn't come with education. He is able to understand and trouble shoot quickly and make a determination as to what possibly may be needed, explain the thought process so I understand and move forward. He doesn't waste my time -which I appreciate [redacted] and that makes him a great Doctor.

He was very polite. He listened to me. I had multiple concerns and he addressed each of those concerns carefully and in a good manner and clearly.

I have liked every provider I have seen in this practice for OBGYN. Dr. Patton very approachable doctor, and gives off a sense of comfort listening to your concerns. He approaches questions with thoughtful answers that apply to my specific body and lifestyle needs. I am now menopausal and have found that a specific provider with that training in another practice has been a better fit, but I trust Dr. Patton with my overall health and exam process.

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.

I've been seeing Ed Patton for, I think, 20 years. He's one of the best doctors I've ever seen. His bedside manner is kind and personable. I rely on his expertise. We've kind of watched each other grow older, and I very much appreciate the relationship. I would have never thought I would have chosen to have a male OBGYN, but he is the perfect one for me. I'm sad that in some time in the future he will retire. He's kind, he's considerate, he's smart. He is a very, very good doctor and I really appreciate him.
