J. Douglas Patterson, M.D.

“I just want to thank Dr. Patterson so much for being such a good doctor to me. My hand and elbow have healed fabulously and there is very little numbness left. I really appreciate your kind, thorough and attentive way. I wish that all doctors were as great as you. Keep up the excellent work.”

“I want to thank Dr. Patterson for getting my throwing hand back in shape so I that I am ready for our biggest tournament of the year!  You and your operating staff treated me great both times!  I really appreciate your help.”

I went to Dr. Patterson for my Dupytren’s syndrome. I had a Xiaflex infection and subsequent manipulation. I am very pleased with the results! My finger is fully flexible! The recovery time was not substantial and I had little discomfort post-procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Patterson if you’re considering having this procedure done. I’m glad I finally decided to address this issue! I no longer poke myself in the eye and am not embarrassed to shake hands! Thank you, Dr. Patterson!

“It’s been a while since my last surgery, but I just wanted you to know that I started my senior season at Conrad and my arm and knee are feeling strong.  I’m excited about the future and appreciate your help in getting me healthy so that I could continue playing competitive baseball.  I listened well and have been diligent about arm care.  Good advice!”

“Dr. Patterson – remember as Mark Twain said – “Wrinkles are reminders of where smiles have been” Keep smiling! Thank you for saving my arm! You are the best.”

“I would like to thank you all and especially Dr. Patterson for his expertise in surgery.  I now have the use of my right hand back with no pain.  I can’t wait to have the surgery done on my left hand.  The staff is friendly and Beth is wonderful to work with to schedule appointments. Thank you all so much!”
