My 84 year old mother had gone to Dr. Pattison for over 20 years. However, recently she had found it more and more difficult to drive from Mandarin to the Riverside area for her office visits. She asked if he would recommend another doctor that might have an office near Baptist Hospital South. He recommended another doctor who has not yet, but intends to open an office out that way sometime in the future. When she went to the new office location of the new doctor, she found he has not opened yet. About three weeks after her recommendation, she experienced two days of dizziness and nausea. Her daughter called Dr. Pattison's office and made an appointment for that day. Dr. Pattison had his office staff call the elderly woman back about 45 minutes later telling her "He said - you fired him, now he's firing you" we (the doctor and staff) will not see you today or any more. What a horrible act to take against an elderly widow. Instead of being understanding of her age and the difficulties in getting to his office, Dr. Pattison decided to take revenge against her. What a doctor!!! You would think after dealing with a patient for over 20 years, that the office would help her beyond just a recommendation.
