Dr. Pateder showed no compassion for my 76-year-old wife and hurried us through the two visits. He misdiagnosed my wife’s condition and referred her to pain management instead of addressing the source of her pain. Dr. Pateder told my wife her condition was normal and he sees this all the time. Her condition was diagnosed accurately by two other doctors later in the week as a recent fracture of a vertebrae. Dr. Pateder gave her four muscle relaxer shots. While helping for a few minutes, it only contributed to her discomfort. Obviously in a hurry, he gave a cursory glance for sterile gauze and, not finding one, he grabbed a paper towel from the paper towel rack to stop her bleeding. She went into the hallway and cried out in pain. Several patients stopped to assist her. I can’t believe Dr. Pateder still has his medical license.

Dr. Pateder is an amazing Surgeon! After years of other doctors not figuring out the problem, he had it diagnosed correctly on the first appointment, and a plan of attack ready to go. L4/5 Surgery was completed quick and easy, had me out of the hospital quickly, and back home healing perfect. He is by far, the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with, and wouldn’t hesitate in the least bit, to have any other issues in the future taken care of by him!

In my opinion, this person is dishonest, self-absorbed, and self-serving. What appeared before me as a proud individual, was a small man lacking integrity. God complex.

Dr. Pateder provided outstanding care and quickly diagnosed my medical condition. He was attentive, caring and patient as my wife and I reviewed the results from the various tests and labs. He patiently and completely answered all our questions and belayed all our fears. Surgery went extremely well and I noticed immediate relief from the considerable pain I had been experiencing. His staff was very friendly and extremely responsive to all of our follow up questions and needs. I highly recommend Dr. Pateder!!
