“On Halloween this year, I suffered a freak accident that resulted in crushing the finger tip of my ring finger on my left hand. I checked into the Cleveland Clinic Emergency. After X-rays and a review with the staff, I was told they needed to call a Vero Orthopaedics hand specialist since no one at Cleveland Clinic Emergency could adequately address the injury. Fortunately, Dr. Paterson of Vero Orthopaedics was the on-call hand specialist. Within literally a half hour, Dr. Paterson arrived, and within a few minutes, he was preparing my finger for surgery. The fingertip was beyond repair and subsequently removed. The quality of care that Dr. Paterson displayed on a Halloween afternoon has followed with my appointments since. I could not have been more fortunate than to be under the care of Dr. Paterson and his staff.”

My procedure for my trigger thumb was relatively painless. Kudos out to the staff; they were very polite and courteous. If I have to return in the future, I will ask for Dr. Paterson. The facility was very clean and well maintained.”

“Yesterday was my first visit to Vero Orthopaedics. I scheduled an appointment to get the Trigger Finger Release Surgery. Dr. Paterson performed the procedure that day using ultrasound guidance. It was done with a local anesthetic, so I was able to watch it. Dr. Paterson asked what music I would like to listen to, so he played Adele in the background. This was such a pleasant, very successful, and enjoyable operation.”
– Denise W.

“My overall experience with Dr. Paterson was excellent. He is a true professional, very knowledgeable, and down to earth. I felt like I was in good hands from the beginning. I will never forget him because he replied to my text the evening of my surgery and explained that what I was feeling was a normal reaction. I was so worried and nervous, and he set my mind at ease. To me, that was amazing, as I never expected a response.”
– Susan S.

“An upsetting accident turned into a pleasant experience if you can call surgery pleasant. When I met Dr. Paterson, I knew I was in good hands. I am seventy years old and have met my share of doctors, but never have I felt so confident and secure in a doctor’s care. Besides being an expert in his field, Dr. Paterson is compassionate, warm, and patient and hears you when you speak. He has a way of making you feel comfortable. His friendly and sincere smile is the icing on the cake. My wrist surgery was a complete success, and I thank Dr. Paterson for that. The staff at Vero Orthopedics is a wonderful complement to Dr. Paterson. They have a truly great team.”

“Dr. Paterson and his nurse, Lindsey, were extremely prompt and professional. They both made the experience as good as it could be. Dr. Paterson did an amazing job. I already feel less pain in my wrist, not even three weeks post-surgery, than I felt in the last ten years. It is a bit stiff, and I can't move it up and down, but the pain I felt is no longer there. Dr. Paterson was the most professional doctor I have dealt with in a long time; he truly cares about his patients.”
