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.
