I had my second SI ablation with Dr. Patterson this morning. He is always prompt, upbeat, explains anything I want to know, and does a fantastic job with minimal pain involved. I feel quite comfortable and at ease in his care. I am so very grateful that I get to be treated by and work with Dr. Patterson and everyone else at Nevada Advanced Pain Specialists. Dr. Jenson, who is beginning to work with Dr. Patterson, is just as fantastic as the rest of the staff. He’s a great fit!

Dr Patterson, Melissa, Ace & Jen are the finest in the pain management field. After many years of spine & shoulder issues I have seen dozens of pain docs. Dr. Patterson and his entire team are always professional & doing what’s right both for the patient and what’s considered high integrity medical practices. After a spine fusion I was left with immense nerve damage and pain occurring daily after about three hours on my feet. Upon Dr Patterson’s recommendation I had an Abbott Spine Stimulyator implanted and it changed my lif... read more

Terrible!! worst doctor I've ever had. Pain specialist?? that is a joke. Absolute worst bedside manner. Their office does not answer the phone you can never reach anyone to answer your questions. I would never ever go back to him again. This is my experience. I would steer clear. I now have to start looking for a new pain specialist that actually cares.

Patterson is described, as a person, very accurately, as a machine, does not listen to his patients, and makes one feel guilty, ashamed, and as if you, the patient are the uncooperative one. He put me through so many loops in the 8 or 9 months that I went to him: Told me to have a sleep study, required my MD primary care physician (who has been my dr. For 14 years) to write a letter to him to "justify" his prescribing a particular med to me. He badgered me & both Drs.-WORST dr ever!!!!!!!

The office was so rude to me. They messed up my medication acted like it was my fault saying I’m harassing them when I ended up having a seizure going to the ER because my medication was one week late. I’ll never step foot into their office ever again I want nothing to do with Dr Pattersons as they messed up again with my medication twice. I’m scared to end up having more issues with this place and as it is my health should be their # 1 priority and I feel threaten and harassed no patient shoul

Dr. Patterson’s bedside manner AND actual care, even when in procedures is astonishingly poor! He cares nothing for the patient’s level of comfort. I, who have a very high pain tolerance, cried halfway through a procedure, and he (who was the acting surgeon AND anesthesiologist), did nothing, though his nurses tried hard to comfort me. I commend his diligent staff for working with such a *bleeeep*!

This doctor is like a machine. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is trying to make as much $$ as possible as quickly as he can so he can retire younger. Although he might seem somewhat charming at first, you soon realize he’s not very genuine and is concerned with rushing thru his appointment with you to get onto his next money-making appt or procedure.

I have been seeing Dr. Patterson for years and he has explained procedures to me, he has always been polite and answered questions, and above all, he has relieved the pain that I have been having. I would and have recommended him to others.
