I came to Dr. Patrick in 1999 as an Emergency room referrel. When I walked into his office, I could only take baby steps. Two hours later, I was in surgery with his understanding I wanted more children. (2c-sections with one living child at this point). He came out during my surgery and explained to my husband that I had a five pound tumor wrapped around my ovary and tube. Removal a must. He left the other side in tact after removing endometriosis from my uterus.
He supported my very complicated pregnancies with smiles and was very caring and knew me by name. I had 4 successful VBAC's since this surgery with a smile on his face every time. My husband, myself, and my five children loved him! Even when he had to visit me for a month in the hospital trying to keep one of my children in as long as possible. He is great with any kind of complications, but for me he did so much more!!
He was the first OB Dr that supported me with labor beginning between 7-18 weeks and continuing until I gave birth with each of them. Unfortunely, my youngest was born in Indiana after leaving Missouri in 2005. I had a hysterectomy per the request of my dr here.
I know Dr Patrick would have done anything to help me save my body and if I could back up a year, I would pay him out of my pocket for his care and opinion since my insurance wouldn't cover his services! I know he would have helped me in any way to keep my body the same and have more children if it were possible! He truely cares about his patients and loves his career!
He is the BEST OB EVER! I miss him horribly! Thanks so much for your caring family in your office!
