Dr Patin is consistently innovative and thorough
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/3/2024
Apparently my condition is quite complex and no one can really explain just what is going on. This is not a complaint of the excellent physicians. But truly, no one knows. Dr. Patin did a good job of thinking up analogies on the spot to provide context for me to relate to my condition.And since we are essentially treating the symptoms, since we don't fully understand or even have access to the underlying cause, We call it success if we can make the pain manageable. I can be happy with that..

Dr. Patin is always a pleasure to see. His patience with my many stupid questions is always unending and welcomed.

Dr. Patin is that rarest (and most treasured) combination of exceptional professional expertise and sincere compassion. I can hardly imagine the strain of handling pain patients day in and day out, but somehow he always maintains both genuine good cheer and a willingness to explain treatments and decisions in depth.
