Dr. Patterson has been my Doctor for over 4 years. Great attention to your health and care. Recently I fractured my wrist. Texted Dr. Patterson and he responded in less than 5 minutes. I told him I had slipped and hurt my wrist. He set up X-ray to be done immediately for me. Went straight to hospital and had X-ray done. Dr. Patterson reviewed my X-ray and let me know I had fractured my wrist. He set up an appointment for me the next day with an Orthopedic Doctor. Went to appointment and they had surgery scheduled for me the next day. I am so thankful for the excellent treatment I received. Dr Patterson also called me to see how my recovery was going. Thank you Dr Patterson read more

We just moved to this area a little over a year ago. My 34 year old daughter, had Patterson as her primary physician at the MACT clinic in San Andreas because she has medi-cal. She has seen him twice. Once in Nov 19 and once in Jan 20. She recently had a baby in March of 19. She went to see him for severe back pain in November, and he fat shamed her. Did not order any xrays. He told her that she needs to lose weight. He even mentioned that she should watch the Bikini Body Workout. He was so unprofessional. He told her that he and his wife run two successful businesses and both work out, and if they can do it, that she doesn't have any excuse. She went again to see him in January of 2020 to help her with her back pain. Again with the fat shaming and doing absolutely nothing to figure out what the cause of the pain is. This last weekend, Feb 15, 2020, Saturday, she awoke with severe back pain again and vomiting. This time the pain was on her lower left side and radiating around to her back. I watched her baby so she could drive herself to the ER at Sutter in Jackson. She couldn't even stand upright when she arrived. The doctor there immediately ordered a CT scan. They also performed an ultrasound. They discovered that she had a 8.2cm tumor on her left ovary. That is 3.2 inches. They told me that she had an Ovarian Torsion and had to perform emergency surgery that day! After the surgery, I was told that this cyst had burst and she had internal bleeding. She had ligaments twisted around her ovary. She had surgery and had to have her left ovary and her fallopian tube removed. If this Dr. Patterson would have gotten past his condescending attiutde and had some compassion and behaved like a DOCTOR, he would have ordered TESTS to find the source of her pain. Instead of treating her like she was shopping for pain meds! What happened to the Hippocratic Oath of FIRST DO NO HARM? This doctor should never be allowed to treat patients. How did he even get his medical license? When I called his office this morning, the receptionist didn't even want to hear my complaint and referred me to "Administration". Oh sweetheart, I am going to talk to your Administration and I am ALSO reporting him to the AMA. read more

I have had Dr. Patterson for about a year now. He has been a breath of fresh air compared to other doctors. He immediately responds to text message questions and concerns. Under his care I am longer on any meds and I've lost 20 lbs. l recently texted a concern and within 15 minutes he arranged lab work and an ultrasound for the next day. This is how healthcare should be! Thank you Dr. Patterson read more

Rude, condescending, rough in physical treatment, I'm a senior and he fat shamed me, I realize this can just be his personality but his bedside manner is terrible people come to you when they're feeling bad they're feeling sick they're in pain they don't expect to be fat shamed or tried to twist them into a pretzel because their back is hurting especially when they're over 60 years of age and have arthritis this doctor is not a good fit for anyone who needs compassion. My daughter saw him and now she won't even make an appointment to see a doctor she hasn't been to a doctor in two years because of Dr. Patterson. read more

Dr. Shane Patterson does not sugar coat things, and do you really want that from someone who's job it is to keep you alive? I respect his honesty and ability to diagnose medical issues. He does not over-complicate things, and he does not let political correctness get in the way of dispensing the truth. I think its refreshing, even though others might get offended. He is your doctor, he's not paid to be your friend. read more

My wife and I have been with Shane Patterson for six years. We find him a caring person; he even came to our house on several occasions to see how I have been progressing with my wound care. He has had his own practice for about a year in San Andreas. We pay an annual fee and see him as often as necessary, always within 24 hours. His office is right next to the Pickle Patch restaurant.

I am watching Patterson abuse a 79-year-old mentally and physically disabled woman next door who is bedbound from a stroke in 2020 every time she calls the doctor for help since she signed on June 17 2022 he disregards her calls he will not help her. even her home care nurses have written report saying she needs help with her anxiety and her pain even the physical therapist that he sent up here told him she cannot go any further because she's in too much pain this doctor shouldn't be practicing medicine he wouldn't even give her a flu shot. Patterson told her home care nurse that she needs to get up and go to the pharmacy knowing that she's been bedbound since 2020 .patterson even took 100.00dollars out of her account for the last 6 months .and has not done anything for her.last month he did not send her mental health and pain meds prescription to pharmacy on schedualed due date. She had to call adult protective service. Four days later he sent script to pharmacy .major pain&anxiety for 4 days..and he did the same thing this month .and told the home care nurse that she gets nothing cause he told her to find a new dr. Patterson should not be allowed near any elderly disabled patients .I'm told that more info the better in a board of medicine complaint.it's the only way to hold him accountable for his disrespect .lack of care for patients .his disregard to give a bed bound patient a flu shot even though he is sending care team to residence..not sure how he sleeps at night knowing he has been abusing this 79yr old lady..... read more

What an awful dr. My doctor left town and we got him by default. I was caring for my Dad, who had Alzheimers, and patterson decided it was best for Dad to not have any blood work or tests during the year we were his patients. After we left and found a doctor who actually listened to our concerns and showed care for his patients, Dad received the much needed check up and routine blood work, and thus we discovered that he had cancer, which had gone unchecked and unknown for enough time that he had to undergo surgery. He never recovered and passed away within six weeks. My friend had him prior to our family, and she literally told me that he had her on so many different medications that she thought he was trying to kill her! She got away from him too and her new doctor took her off the toxic concoctions and her health improved almost overnight. For me, he was utterly horrible too. Absolutely no bedside manner, nor tact for that matter. He recklessly discontinued the anxiety medication I had been on for over a decade because he didn't believe I needed it, cold turkey. That I just needed to be a stronger person and take control of my life and stresses. Yes, personal responsibility for ones own health is ideal, but I wasn't there yet. He says duck hunting was his stress buster, and to get away from his wife and daughters. Which is great for him, but I do not have the luxury of getting away with the fellas. I was in the middle of caring for my elderly father and a teenage son, I couldn't even get away to wet a line and fish in our beautiful lakes and rivers, I do not think he understands what caring for someone with Alzheimers is really like, nor the immense challenges that accompany it. No compassion, and he expressed that he was sick of patients whining about their health when they weren't willing to change their habits. I have had some sketchy doctors up in these here hills over the decades, but this smug, self important, holier than thou, machismo, misogynist, compassion-less dude was the worst. I highly recommend you seek health care form another source, someone with a true understanding of the Hippocratic oath, first, do NO HARM. read more

I have enjoyed Dr. Patterson's care for a few years now. He has been a great doctor. He has taken good care of me and I enjoy our conversations when we are together. read more

This is the worst doctor my husband has ever seen. He was beyond rude. He was an outright a-hole. He insinuated that my husband received pain management medications illegally because his last refill wasn't in the system from his past doctor in Nevada. He told him he was unprepared for his appointment because he didn't have all his records when he had already given them the information for his past doctor. He didn't want to give him a quit smoking aide. He judged him on his t shirt and shoes that he wore to his appointment. My husband is in a high stress job and has to wear boots and uniform during his work days so he likes to relax on his days off. He nit-picked him on an "offensive" shirt that his mother and his 8yo son had purchased for him. It took him 3 months to get in to see this dr, and now We have to pay for this waste of time visit. I would highly recommend avoiding this dr even if you could get in to see him sooner than others. read more

i love him. i have seen so many doctors and all they want is to push meds. when i got here, he immediatly put me on a diet plan to get rid of my diabetes & i can say i no longer take meds for it after only 3 months & 30lbs lost. he pushes me which is what i have needed to put myself first so i can be here for my son. if your looking for a dr to sugar coat things & not be honest with you then you need to find a different doctor. read more

This fellow is a disgrace to his profession. He is BEYOND rude. His behavior is totally off the wall and is so unusual that it is hard to believe that it came from anyone that isn't a spoiled 3 year old brat. It is hard to believe that this person managed to graduate from kindergarten, let alone med school. His response to me being in the room with my wife, was to scream at me that I was "violating his policies", and ,"how dare I violate his policies and defy his authority", by being in the room. When I tried to explain that we always accompanied each other, he began ranting again about his, "authority and his choice of who can- or can't - be in the exam room", and that was, "his choice, not some husband". His behavior was totally inappropriate in a clinic or anywhere else. My wife is a retired R.N. with nearly 30 years experience in Family Practice, hospital Post- Surgical Care, and Oncology. I am a retired Family Practice and E.R. Physicians Assistant with more than 35 years in medicine, Neither of us has ever experienced anything nearly as bizarre as this guy. We believe he should be avoided at all costs...unless you are into abuse read more
