About Me

I define myself as detail-oriented, a people person and a perfectionist. I feel fortunate to have found the specialty of plastic and reconstructive surgery, which puts each of these attributes to great use in improving patients' experiences and outcomes. 

Whether you are seeking reconstructive or aesthetic surgery — or, as is often the case, both — having a good relationship with your surgeon is critical during what can be a stressful period in your life.

Having the skills and attention to detail necessary for complex surgeries is another critical component to success, and I feel that I am able to bring both of these elements together to set my patients at ease and provide them with the best possible outcomes.

  • After being diagnosed with breast cancer ( very much a surprise) I had to make a quick decision prior to surgery regarding reconstruction. Although my tumor was very small & caught very early, a mastectomy was needed. I sought 2 opinions & met with Dr. Patterson. He is terrific! Put me at ease immediately & answered my many questions with patience & explanations that were very clear. I appreciate his humor when appropriate & his reassuring manner. I feel very thankful to have Dr. Patterson on my team!
  • Dr. Patterson and his staff are exceptional.
