J. Douglas Patterson, M.D.

“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 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!

“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.”

“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, you truly saved my hand and wrist with your magic reconstruction and creative use of metals. After one year, I am still marveled at the amazing job you did! Thank you DOS and Doug, you are the best!”
