I arrived for my appointment on time and was put in an exam room. I sat in the exam for one hour waiting for the Doctor. No one came in to give me any explanation of the delay or how long it would be until I would see the Doctor. After one hour of waiting , I left . I have not heard from the office with any explanation or apology. I find this treatment unacceptable and will not be going back to Doctor Patterson's office.. read more

The doctor was attentive, he listened, he had answers, he gave recommendations... I left equipped with solutions and clear next steps. I was able to get the X-Rays I needed. Wait time was minimal. Parking was a nonissue. I would definitely recommend this doctor and center. Beyond just giving me handouts, he was able to give me knowledge and hope. read more

Dr. Patterson and his staff are the best! Amazing care and a brand new office with excellent physical therapy!

This office requires you to keep a credit card on file so they can charge you for missed appointments. Requires it. To make an appointment. With rampant identity theft and credit card fraud, no one should leave credit card information anywhere, much less a doctor's office. We've had random charges appear when we've allowed this in another doctor's office. I think Dr. Patterson is great. But the three people in my family who would go to him will no longer. read more

I was referred to Dr. Patterson's office by my pediatrician's office! What a wonderful staff! My 2 year old broke her arm. They were super patient and kind. Dr John Koretoff was amazing. He explained everything and had such a wonderful bedside manner! I hope to not have anymore broken bones but if we do we know where we're visiting! Thank you read more

Patterson Byron, MD - Poor girl and her little arm! - Sports Medicine Near Me - Agoura Hills, California

I rarely write reviews but I feel so grateful for Dr. Patterson that I felt compelled to share. I have been going to Dr. Patterson for over 10 years now. I used to be an avid, high level tennis player (4.5 USTA rated) and had chronic episodes of tennis elbow as well as golfer's elbow. I was referred to him by a very high level tennis player friend of mine so I trusted his experience. I went to Dr. Patterson because I wanted to avoid steroids for my tennis elbow and had heard of a procedure called PRP (platelet rich plasma) which is a natural therapeutic for tendinitis. My results were exactly what I had hoped for and without use of steroids. I'm not only impressed with his knowledge and bedside manner, but also for his integrity......with subsequent injuries I had, Dr. Patterson had actually turned me away because he felt I could heal on my own and didn't need PRP. I also love that he does not exploit patients financially. Other doctors on the westside charge 3 x the amount Dr. Patterson charges. He takes his time to explains things and answers all my questions - he doesn't ever seem like he is in a rush even though he is super busy and popular. I also love that he is an athlete himself and an avid racket sportsman. His staff is super efficient too! I HIGHLY recommend him, and I am a patient of both Cedars and Providence, so I have seen "the best" but he is one of the best of the best doctors! read more

I have been a patient with this office for many years. I have always gone to the Tarzana office. My most recent visit was to the Agoura office, which has been the worst experience. They are unresponsive, do not keep up to date medical records, do not return phone calls and treat their patients like trash. My insurance company stayed on hold for 45 minutes trying to set up a peer to peer appointment. We left voice messages, sent emails..Not only did they not call back, respond to emails, when I eventually got hold of them. they said they were too busy to do the peer to peer today. My appointment is tomorrow. They don't care!!! read more

Dr. Patterson is, in a word: outstanding! He listens intently and truly cares about his patients. He explains what is happening and explores options for treatment. His staff is also wonderful! From the moment you call, to the moment you are seen. I will continue to go here as long as he is practicing medicine. read more

Ryan was phenomenal working with my son on his collarbone. I can't recommend him highly enough. And I appreciated the way they set expectations for care and costs. I would really recommend this office, and I am glad that we were referred here. My only complaint was the way the office handled my son's preferred name as opposed to the name on the insurance. No matter how many times I asked, they used the wrong name when calling him in and doing the intake. That was really really frustrating, and caused unnecessary anxiety. I hope that's something they can work on. The moment Ryan walked in the room, however, all was good. read more

I had my first visit with Dr. Patterson in his Agoura Hills office. The front desk staff and everyone else involved (PA's) in the office were professional and helpful. Dr. Patterson was very welcoming, friendly and knew exactly what he was talking about. I'm so glad I found him. I would highly recommend seeing him for your sports injuries. read more

Took care of my son as though he was a superstar. I can't say enough about this man. My 7 year old son badly broke his arm and Dr. Patterson got the alert while on his way to a performance with his family. He interrupted his personal plans to come help reset the bone in my sons arm at the emergency room. I will forever be grateful for his act of kindness. He is a gifted doctor who truly loves to help people. read more

Great people with amazing bed side manners. PA Ryan in particular is a pleasure to deal with. Made my son feel comfortable and was very clear in his diagnoses and treatment path. Love the place. read more

Dr. Patterson breaks the mold of the stereotypical white coated stethoscope around your neck country M.D. or put in modern terms - A Doc Hollywood. He is a dapper, blue jean wearing "Real Deal" physician who practices an intelligent form of medicine. By intelligent, I mean, he speaks with an authority you believe and with logical and astute diagnosis's that make sense. I really like him, but way more importantly, I trust him! What else could you ask for when dealing with your health. Also, his office runs like a well oiled machine. Each department whether it's scheduling, x-ray, treatment, billing, or follow-up, they all work in unison. That's part of the "trust" thing I mentioned above. He and his office are very Professional - and that's a very good thing. read more

I went to see Dr Patterson because of bilateral knee pain. X-rays were done. He performed a hands-on assessment and located the problem areas on each knee. He evaluated past history of knee injuries and pain. I was very impressed with his examination of my knees, diagnosis, and plan of treatment. Dr Patterson patiently explained everything to me and included my future wishes in the plan of treatment. I received knee injections via image guidance. This was an excellent technique because it is precise. I am very happy and positive about my ortho experience. The staff was polite, respectful, and skilled. Dr Patterson was kind, courteous, and extremely experienced. I recommend Dr Patterson to everyone with orthopedic problems. read more

He was lovely, but it took me 90 minutes to be seen. I was 20 minutes early. I waited 90 minutes from my appointment time, so basically I was in his office for two hours. There was no apology for the lateness and they didn't even offer to cover the valet (they don't validate). Because he was running so late, he spent 10 minutes with me at the most and I still had questions but felt he was rushing to get to his next appointment (although he did take time to listen to a few of my questions...he was heading out the door before I realized our appointment was over). I literally spent more time with the intake nurse than with the doctor. I understand that the state of the country our healthcare is poor, but I was stunned that I had to wait so long and with no apology or explanation as to why. A little ridiculous. read more

This is a review for Dr. Patterson's PA Ryan Kennedy. I cannot get to Agoura to see Dr. and am now under the care of this young man who is patient and listens and responds in language I can understand. He is a valuable asset to this practice. He is kind, empathetic, sympathetic and knowledgeable in his treatment plan. I know that I am in the hands of true professional with the wisdom and training that is required to the the kind of PA that every medical office should strive to have on its staff. read more

When I think of Dr. Patterson I want to smile. He is my favorite doctor, both caring & competent. I am a coward about getting injections, but he freezes the spot & he is so good at this, I feel almost nothing. He is very busy, because he's so popular, but he never keeps you waiting for a procedure. The office is very well run. He's the epitome of what we're all looking for in a doctor-caring & competent. read more

I highly recommend Ryan! He has great bedside manner, very knowledgeable, patient, and doesn't make you feel rushed. You really feel like he cares..nowadays that is a quality which is hard to find. My son absolutely adores him. We have seen him multiple times for different injuries and he's always been spot on with his diagnosis. Thanks again for taking great care of my son. read more

This office is the best! I went to this doctor for my kid when he had a nursemaid's elbow, when he was located in the same building as our pediatrician. Years later, found him again by accident and found out he treated adults. I've seen him and also his P.A., Ryan, and the whole joint is classy, knowledgeable and effective. 3 injuries later, this is the only orthopedist I go to. I have nothing negative to say about this office. The staff is amazing. Park across the street on the meters or at the end of the block, since the parking lot's not the best - but if that's the worst thing I can say, you know it means this is a great office! read more

Dr. Byron Patterson is the most kind, caring, thorough, patient, knowledgeable and brilliant orthopedic sports medicine doctor that you can ever wish to go to! I have known him for 20 years and he has helped me and my family countless times all with great success. 2 years ago I went to him for a second opinion with a broken wrist. My HMO doctor told me I needed surgery. Dr Patterson told me my wrist was intact and I didn't need surgery and he just put on a cast. My wrist is fully healed without surgery! I had chronic Achilles tendinitis and had been going for physical therapy for nearly a year. Dr Patterson did PRP on my ankle and I am completely healed! 2 weeks ago I saw Dr Patterson with a toe injury for another 2nd opinion. I dropped a very sharp chefs knife on my big toe. Even though I didn't have an appointment he spent on and off about an hour with me! After an ultrasound he then called in his surgeon and they did another ultrasound of my toe. I trust his opinion implicitly and am now going to have surgery on my toe. In my opinion he is the top orthopedic doctor of the century and I can't recommend him enough! I wish all doctors were like him! Thank you so much for your loving care. His office staff are also so professional and helpful. MacAfrica read more

Dr. Patterson has been helping my family and me for 15 years with many varieties of sports injuries. He is knowledgeable, professional, friendly - and specializes in minimally invasive techniques. He really cares immensely about his patients through and through. I could not recommend a doctor more. read more

When my son hurt his throwing arm playing baseball we took him to see Dr Patterson. I've been to many doctors in my life and let me tell you, you won't find a doctor that is more down to earth and caring than than Dr P. His bed side manner is second to none. He's knowledgeable and extremely thorough. You'll never feel rushed and your concerns will always be heard. I highly recommend Dr P to any and all who are looking for a great orthopedic doctor. Give him a try and thank me later. read more

If we could put Million stars for Dr. Patterson we defiantly will do. Dr. Patterson is a person from GOD, never seem such a professional and great human being before. I had an appointment with lots of orthopedic "Stars" and can honestly compere. He is committed to his patients and treated with compassion, patience and understanding your pain. Extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. His joint injections like a butterfly touch. Dr. Patterson using ultrasound technique all the time, which unfortunately not common in other Orthopedic clinics. I had only 2 appointments with Dr. Patterson and can not appreciate enough. The way how he is approaching to patient with his beautiful smile and his handsome team never seen in other places. Also his field always conducts himself at the highest professional standard. Finally after many suffering I found my real DOCTOR. GOD BLESS YOU DEAR DR. PATTERSON AND GOD BLESS ALL YOUR STAFF AND FAMILY. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Byron Patterson for many years. Through tennis injuries, emergency and aging issues, Dr. Patterson is unequaled in his field. He listens, provides thorough feedback and information and, above all, provides the best care for his patients. Additionally, the physical therapy received at Primary Care Sports Medicine is outstanding. The physical therapists who work with Dr. Patterson are so knowledgeable in how to best treat specific injuries and physical conditions. The office staff is also very professional, patient (in person and on the phone) and definitely help to calm patients, especially during episodes of pain and/or discomfort. I am so grateful to Dr. Patterson and his staff for always administering the best care and helping me to achieve a sense of physical well-being. Thank you Dr. Patterson and staff. read more

Absolutely amazing doctors and staff. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is that we always have to wait about an hour to be seen.

I visited Dr Patterson after a fall during a trip to the UK on business and he spent all of 3 minutes with me and said, "let's get you some physical therapy". I was given a list of physical therapy places and told to "pick one". I did so but noted to the DR's office that as I travel a great deal i could not be consistent. The physical therapy actually made my right hand (which is still swollen after 4 months+) and my left shoulder, worse. I called Dr. Patterson's office and was told that I had to see one of his "Assistants" not, him. I did so and the person said, "gee we hate to see people getting worse, let's get an MRI of your shoulder". I did so and the assistant told me that it showed osteoarthritis and a minor tear in the rotator cuff. No help with the hand. My impression is that this is a mill to provide physical therapists with a job and no doubt Dr. Patterson's office gets a percentage. The care that I got was obviously of no use as I am currently worse than the first visit to Dr. Patterson. I am now seeing another Doctor who does, seem to care! Dr Patterson has so far billed Medicare $370.00, $125.00 and the physical therapist for 4 visits billed $510. The MRI was $1,180 so a tidy $2,000+ to get worse! I advise avoiding this place like the plague! read more

I went back to Dr Patterson to give office another try and I am so glad I did. I was seen on time and staff was great My issue was never with the doctor who is amazing / but the fact that he took my concerns to heart and fixed the problem speaks volumes for his integrity read more

Very impress by the professionalism of the office, and how great is Doctor Patterson. My 10 year old is a soccer player and have been having a lot of pain in her knee for over a week, I couldn't find the right place to take her too, Then Our coach referred us to Dr Patterson and I am so thankful for that. Both ladies at the front office are awesome, Kim was so helpful and also fit my daughter in the schedule as it was a very busy day for them. Then Dr Patterson was very patient very explaining and did all the necessary tests to make sure that first my daughter was okay and then went over all the results and her condition in details. He is really really good with little ones and he made sure my daughter was comfortable and understand everything. He doesn't rush you like most of my previous experience at doctors office. I'm very pleased and will not be looking around anymore, you can't go wrong with them ! Thanks again you guys :)- read more

After diagnosed, not only did the staff repeatedly fail to pass along messages to the doctor indicating that my pain had worsened, scheduled me with his assistant (who was incompetent) rather than the doctor, and gave me no choice but to show up unannounced to retrieve my test results (which resulted in my condition worsening to the point of requiring surgery - with another doctor), Dr. Patterson also disclosed my condition to his gossiping baby-mama WITHOUT MY PERMISSION who then CAME TO MY JOB to rub my CONFIDENTIAL condition in my face. If you can find anyone else, don't trust this doctor to provide compassionate care or keep privileged information to himself. read more

Dr. Patterson is at the top of his field. He is incredibly knowledgeable and will get you back on your feet quickly. The decision to see him is a no-brainer. read more

When a body part gives out and your hurting, what you want is relief. You also want someone who knows their stuff and can quickly diagnose, deliver treatment so you end up with pain free results. Just go to Primary Sports, See either Dr. Patterson or Dr. Scott, both doctors helped me find relief with a multitude of sports and other other injuries. Both have a unique and caring bedside manner that aids the healing process. Wonderful staff who you will end up loving. The goal is not to see these guys, but if stuff happens, there's no better place to get the get that healing feeling. read more

dr. patterson has been the best orthopedic surgeon out there by far so far and he is definitely helping me recover and heal and get stronger from a knee injury i have 5 stars for him being so amazing read more

I always appreciate the time Dr Patterson takes to get to know you as a person and explain in detail what procedure maybe needed to help with your condition. The staff is amazing and like an extension of your family. Always a pleasant experience read more

Dr. Patterson and his staff were wonderful to my daughter. Shortly before Thanksgiving, my daughter developed an MRSA infection in her knee. It was a painful experience for her but thankfully with Dr. Patterson's meticulous care she avoided a hospital stay. For two weeks, he saw her almost everyday and even came in on a Saturday to check her progress. His nurse, Elena, was very kind and considerate as well. My daughter is now fully recovered thanks to the care she received! Dr. Patterson isn't just a doctor but a person with a heart and soul who is dedicated to his profession. read more

Just moved to LA and started having issues with my shoulder, yet again. The pain has been somewhat chronic for a while. Although I've sought medical care from one other Orthopedic doctor, my experience, with Dr. Patterson, was truly unique and helped me restore my faith in this profession. First and foremost, his ability to articulate, in simple and easy to understand terms, was simply amazing. Second, the amount of time in which he took to answer every question, with patience and care, was again very refreshing and obviously much appreciated. Lastly, he also encouraged me to call him if I had thought of anything that I hadn't already ask of him. For the first time since injuring my shoulder I am on a recovery path that doesn't include surgery. And for that I am extremely grateful to Dr. Patterson, his staff as well as their PT department. This medical office should be the standard in which everyday other medical office models them-self. I would highly recommend Dr. Patterson!!! read more

I had 4 knee surgeries with only 50% of meniscus left , I couldn't run or hike with our sever pain which really depress me because from being a very active person I couldn't do to much outdoor activities, after seeing Dr Patterson he recommend trying a treatment called PRP I was one of is first patient for PRP and all I can tell is that I am glad I did it , that prp fix my knees and today I am doing everything including running miles, skiing , backpacking and two month ago I climb Manchu picchu mountain at 12500' in Peru. read more

Big THANKS to Dr. Patterson for my amazing diagnosis and treatment. I was astounded by the results of my cortisone treatment and will remain grateful and loyal to his practice for life. Staff is friendly, service quick and painless, A+ to the whole operation. Most of all, thanks for giving back my quality of life. You make me feel like dancing! (Leo Sayer 1976) read more

Dr. Patterson is the best AND he has the best staff of any doctor I have ever experienced. You cannot go wrong seeing Dr. Patterson. I refused to go to the ER last night after I hurt my hand because I know they would just tell me it was fine because I could move it. His staff, especially Bre, got me in first thing this morning. Thank you for always being so great! read more

Dr Patterson and his staff (in particular Rebecca) are all sport med pros. From my sons fractured arm years ago and more recently, my skate rat sons rotator issues, right down to my diagnosis of Elbow Tendonitis, (not great being a Personal Trainer), the Dr and his team put us all back together with compassion and a complete solution that brought us all back to 100% working order. Do what the Dr says and keep in mind that you are dealing with one of the best sports med pros in the Los Angeles area. read more

Saw Dr. Patterson today as follow up from tennis elbow issue. He gave me cortisone shot and made me all better! Excellent bed side manner, which I already knew because I have been taking my son to him for 7 years! read more
