My complaint is re the new pharmacist at the Sonora MACT Pharmacy. I had been getting my meds from…read morethat pharmacy for many years and had been very pleased with the staff and level of service. Enter the new pharmacist last spring and that all changed. First, the wonderful staff who had been there for years fled when this new guy was hired. Why did they all leave? There has been a continual turnover in staff since he was hired. What is going on there that is causing this massive turnover in staff? I've had six surgical procedures on my spine over the years that has left me having to endure significant constant pain. My pain level is somewhat mitigated thru the use of medications. When I went to pick up my meds the pharmacist rolled his eyes and made an insulting derogatory comment regarding my medication usage. No one should have to be subjected to that kind of smug, judgmental, verbally abusive and insensitive treatment. It was evident that this pharmacist has some sort of disorder where he feels it's acceptable to insult the customers. I immediately switched to another pharmacy. Hopefully other customers have not had to endure this sort of insulting behavior from that guy. He is a stain on the entire MACT Healthcare Board. There is a chronic shortage of licensed pharmacists in this state, so I'm sure the MACT superiors will overlook a lot of abusive behavior before they do anything to rectify the matter.

Friend called 911 and because of possible head trauma was taken to Mark Twain St Joseph's Hospital rather than Sutter Amador where family/friends all wanted me to be taken. The ER wasn't busy. Put in a room and left. Had two friends in the waiting room who had been with me when I fell and blanked out for a long time and could have helped them better understand the situation. They ignored both of them! ER were so uncaring. Only had on a flannel gown so I was cold. Then after doing tests they sent me home by putting me in the ER waiting room, cold and a family member an hour away, coming to get me. Now I see why they have such a bad reputation with people who value top medical care! Maybe folks who have a doctor who is at the hospital get better care? I have no idea. Thank God for Sutter Amador where I then went to and was treated for the ramifications from my fall.

I told him I had slipped and hurt my wrist. He set up X-ray to be done immediately for me. Went straight to hospital and had X-ray done. Dr. Patterson reviewed my X-ray and let me know I had fractured my wrist. He set up an appointment for me the next day with an Orthopedic Doctor. Went to appointment and they had surgery scheduled for me the next day. I am so thankful for the excellent treatment I received. Dr Patterson also called me to see how my recovery was going. Thank you Dr Patterson

We just moved to this area a little over a year ago. My 34 year old daughter, had Patterson as her…read moreprimary physician at the MACT clinic in San Andreas because she has medi-cal. She has seen him twice. Once in Nov 19 and once in Jan 20. She recently had a baby in March of 19. She went to see him for severe back pain in November, and he fat shamed her. Did not order any xrays. He told her that she needs to lose weight. He even mentioned that she should watch the Bikini Body Workout. He was so unprofessional. He told her that he and his wife run two successful businesses and both work out, and if they can do it, that she doesn't have any excuse. She went again to see him in January of 2020 to help her with her back pain. Again with the fat shaming and doing absolutely nothing to figure out what the cause of the pain is. This last weekend, Feb 15, 2020, Saturday, she awoke with severe back pain again and vomiting. This time the pain was on her lower left side and radiating around to her back. I watched her baby so she could drive herself to the ER at Sutter in Jackson. She couldn't even stand upright when she arrived. The doctor there immediately ordered a CT scan. They also performed an ultrasound. They discovered that she had a 8.2cm tumor on her left ovary. That is 3.2 inches. They told me that she had an Ovarian Torsion and had to perform emergency surgery that day! After the surgery, I was told that this cyst had burst and she had internal bleeding. She had ligaments twisted around her ovary. She had surgery and had to have her left ovary and her fallopian tube removed. If this Dr. Patterson would have gotten past his condescending attiutde and had some compassion and behaved like a DOCTOR, he would have ordered TESTS to find the source of her pain. Instead of treating her like she was shopping for pain meds! What happened to the Hippocratic Oath of FIRST DO NO HARM? This doctor should never be allowed to treat patients. How did he even get his medical license? When I called his office this morning, the receptionist didn't even want to hear my complaint and referred me to "Administration". Oh sweetheart, I am going to talk to your Administration and I am ALSO reporting him to the AMA.
