I have been going to Dr. Patterson for several years now. He and his staff are spectacular at what they do! My whole family goes there. My 6 year old just had a couple of fillings and later said that it wasn't bad and Dr. Patterson was funny. They are down to earth, friendly, and affordable. It is a great practice to take your family to and they actually care. Once I went to a dentist and he wanted to charge me 1000s of dollars because the nerve in my front tooth was "dead". They said I needed a root canal on it and then a crown placed over it. And since it was a front tooth, I would need another crown on the other front tooth so that way they would look alike. I went to another dentist (Dr. Patterson), and he looked at it and said, "I got this. I can go behind the tooth and do a root canal, then put in a filling behind it." Cost nothing compared to the other dentist. The fact that he was looking out for me and not for his bank account made me a loyal customer for life. Also, if you hate getting the numbing shot, he's the BEST at it!! It won't hurt at all, I promise! read more
