Buffy Patterson is a wonderful provider. She is the preferred doctor for my 15 yo daughter - she answers all of her questions, challenges and addresses fears and concerns. Gives advise and suggestions but innthe kindest and most effective way. A true gem.

We love this office! The staff and Buffy are great!

Buffy is amazing! She always takes time to listen to our concerns and takes time to answer questions. I never feel like she is rushed during the appointment. She is caring and when my son was sick with Pertusis she would send messages in the portal to check on how he was doing. She is amazing!!!!

I could not be more thankful to have Buffy Paterson as my children's provider.

Dr Patterson is amazing and i feel heard here

Dr. Patterson was amazing. She really knows how to deal with children!

This appointment was for the physical evaluation for high school. Some questions are not applicable but our experience with dr was very pleasant.

Everything was amazing. Dr. Patterson was great and so good with our girls.

Just that Buffy is simply the best. We look forward to seeing her and she always does so great with our child. Everyone else is also really nice.

Buffy was fantastic with both of my children. She altered her approach to meet both children's individual needs and personalities. She was incredibly patient while my children answered her questions, which took some time. We never once felt rushed. We can't wait to go back! (Although hopefully not too soon)

Love Dr. Buffy she's so good to my daughter

Dr. Buffy (Elizabeth Patterson) is the best pediatrician in the valley. I drive all the way from surprise after relocating to the west side due to her quality of care! She listens and validates any concern, while also relieving any anxiety. I cannot speak highly enough about her. She is amazing and genuinely cares, which is so hard to fine.

Continue to love Buffy!
