Ms. Debbie Patterson has been my dermatologist now for several years. She has literally changed my life, I no longer constantly stress about my skin like I had in the past. She is now treating my spouse as well as my daughter. I wouldn’t send them to anyone else. Ms Patterson recently fit my daughter in to be seen for an issue that needed addressed in a timely manor. She recognized myself and my wife were concerned so she bumped up our appointment to ease our stress and provide a solution to my daughters issue. My family will continue to see Ms Patterson for any issues in the future. I have recommended her to other patients and will continue to do so.
