Dr. Patterson has extensive experience with robotic-assisted knee replacement, a cutting-edge and revolutionary technology that enhances surgical precision and patient outcomes.
“My family and I are excited to call Panama City home,” says Dr. Patterson. “We’ve settled into life on the coast. This is a beautiful part of Florida and this community has been very welcoming. I’m happy to bring a much-needed specialty to this region and expand the scope and quality of care patients can receive right here at home.”

He completed his medical degree at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center – Shreveport.
