Dr. Patterson believes in individualizing and tailoring each treatment plan based on the patient’s specific problem and needs. Fortunately, many foot and ankle disorders respond well to non-surgical treatment. He likes to exhaust all non-surgical treatment first before moving on to more invasive procedures and surgeries.  As an orthopedic surgeon, he focuses on the impact the foot and ankle can have on the rest of the lower extremity, such as the knees, hips and back.

Dr. Patterson has treated patients for Sports injuries, Arthritis, Fractures, Sprains/Strains, Tendonitis, Bunions and Hammertoes, Achilles tendon problems, Overuse injuries, Flatfeet, and Congenital conditions. When safe and appropriate, he utilizes minimally invasive surgical techniques to minimize risk to wound healing. He has a large ankle replacement practice utilizing CT imaging technology and 3D printed custom blocks to promote accuracy and longevity of the ankle replacement implants.

Dr. Patterson attended medical school at the University of Iowa, Carver College of Medicine. He completed his orthopedic residency at the Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center Phoenix, AZ and obtained his foot and ankle fellowship at the University of Iowa’s Foot and Ankle Fellowship program.
