My husband & I are patients of Dr Charles Patterson.Dr Patterson is extremely gifted in his ability to do restorative work and he truly thinks carefully about his patients problems as he formulates a plan of care.Before I went to Dr Patterson,in past years I have had,on occasion ,hasty,ill-conceived care,so I appreciate astute,conservative treatment,rendered by such a skilled clinician.The fact that he also teaches,increases my confidence,because affiliation with an academic dental institution lends an additional dimension to his practice.I work in a teaching hospital & it does add depth, in my opinion, to a dentist's or a doctor's work ,keeping them on the cutting edge of advances in their field.
