"He was very dismissive and rude, wouldn't prescribe anything for pain, says he didn't think I tore anything, advised against an MRI... I would avoid this clinic/doctor as they seem to be extremely out of touch with their patients."
— Birdeye / LocalityBiz user review regarding Dr. Thomas"If I could give doctor Peter Van Patten a 0 star, I would... my knee has never been the same and now I am faced with a knee replacement surgery as a result of someone who didn't even do an MRI on my knee."
