"Dr. Patching is awesome. Really picky and straight forward. No BS kinda guy. He tells you like it is even if you don't want to hear it. He is a perfectionist when it comes to the surgery, takes his time to make sure it's done perfectly. You gotta like that. I've heard of other doctors taking a little as 1 hour to do a VSG. Dr. Patching takes 2 1/2 hours. Well, at least that's what mine took and he said it went perfectly. I like that even tho he is strict, he can be very relaxed and caring. He does care about you. Lots of pre-op tests making sure your in good health and ready for surgery and this life altering experience. I give Dr. Patching an A++++ and would recommend him to anyone looking for a bariatric surgeon in the Sacramento area."
