Patton S Carla, MD

I am a guy and have been with her for many years. So too have my family. She is a straight shooter, doesn’t waste time, and tells it like it is. I like that. Oh, she also saved my life in the hospital when no one else could get my situation figured out. That counts.

The BEST! I live 45 minutes away from Dr. Patton but I would never switch doctors! She is simply the best — a fabulous doctor with a great bedside manner, very difficult combination to find these days. She really listens, is a careful and meticulous diagnostician and has a wonderful sense of compassion and kindness. And her office staff is terrific too. Thanks to the whole crew!

Dr. Patton was my Father’s doctor for 32 years. When he got diagnosed with Lung Cancer and went in Hospital she made no attempt to go see him or even CALL HIM! Insult to injury she did not attend his memorial nor send a card to his wife (also his patient). Her lack of sensitivity speaks volumes about her lack of character. She abandoned my Dad in his time of need and he was both hurt and confused on top of dealing with the surprise diagnosis that took him out in less than a month.
Dr. Patton KNEW he had a smoking history (he’d been quit for 35 years). When he complained of chronic fatigue it NEVER dawned
on her that it could be Cancer. With his history this should have
been one of her first concerns… NOT!
Any doctor worth their salt knows that a former smoker is at high
risk for Cancer. He had probably smoked for 30 years. Dad was
really good about keeping on top of his health and went for regular
check ups, ate right and exercised regularly. It was her job to
make sure he had a chance against an insidious disease like
Cancer. She should have been ordering Spiral CT Scans on
him annually. If she did this Cancer would have been found
early enough to treat and he’d be alive today. The National Cancer
Institute recommends this (so for all you smokers and former
smokers talk to you doctor about annual Scans… if your insurance
will not pay for it there are tons of places that do them inexpensively!)
In Japan they do this test as part of routine check ups and people
do not die there of Lung Cancer… they’ve been doing this for YEARS!
Dr. Patton clearly does not keep up with the proper diagnostic tools
to catch Cancer early. This makes her a danger to her patients.
If she’s your doctor, run don’t walk away from her hideous brand of medical and emotional negligence!
Her incompetence coupled with her insensitivity are abhorrent and
all of you deserve better in a doctor.

Dr. Patton is a bright, articulate, caring and compassionate practitioner. She is terrific and I was a patient of hers throughout my late teens & early adulthood until I moved away from Doylestown.
Her associate Madeline Brown is also great — but she was not here yet to Unilocal about.
