Education

  • Doctor of Dental Surgery (1996), University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, Minneapolis, MN
  • Pre-Medicine/Dental, (1992) College of St Scholastica Duluth, MN

I chose a career in dentistry because of my love of science, art, medicine and the ability to improve people’s lives.  I am dedicated to improving the lives of my patients by providing remarkable and compassionate dental care.  My obligation is to provide the highest quality of care to every patient and help them achieve optimal oral health and enhance their natural beauty.

I believe in safe and gentle comprehensive dental care.  Listening to and understanding each person’s concerns are a large part of forming a treatment plan.  I want my patients to make an educated decision about their options that will best fit their needs and desires.

I enjoy general dentistry because it allows me to connect with people of all ages.  I promote “first visit by the first birthday” to help educate parents in giving their child the best oral health from the very beginning.  I focus on preventive and restorative care; however, cosmetic services can add a whole other level of enjoyment when we see our patients respond to their final result.

Outside of the office:
When not practicing dentistry, I am enjoying time with my family. My husband, Michael, and I are both native Duluthians and try to enjoy all that this beautiful city has to offer. My twin children, Cleo and Zachariah, have added an entirely new dynamic to my life and we try to get in as many activities as we can including, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, All Star Cheer, archery, hiking, swimming, traveling, golfing, horseback riding, reading and watching the multiple “Arts” in Duluth.  We also find time to play with our white German Shepard, two Guinea Pigs and Iguana.

I have been treated by Dr. Patterson going back to before she opened her own office and was cleaning teeth for my periodontist. I was impressed back then so much became a patient when she opened her own office. When she became part of Park Dental I was worried how things my change for the worse being "corporate". As far as dental care nothing has changed and that's why our whole family keeps coming back. Thought I would share since these surveys to me do not capture the true "WHY".

I had more questions about a potential treatment plan but didn't ask them because Dr. Patterson said there was a "situation" with another patient in the clinic, implying she didn't have time to discuss it with me more. I also didn't ask and she didn't offer another time to discuss it more.

I have had to advocate for myself with this provider as I feel things get missed until it's too late or she doesn't give me any treatment options other than what she is pushing. I sense attitude on her part and feel she doesn't believe that I brush and floss when I have other health issues that negatively impact oral health.

I came in because my tooth is broken and causing extreme pain. I told her I had scheduled time off of work in early march for an extraction. She was extremely condescending about it. She demanded that I have the tooth extracted that day and didn't seem to understand that I had to go back to work after the appointment and therefore, could not get a tooth extracted. I rearranged my work schedule at her insistence so I could have it extracted the next day, which never happened. They looked at the tooth and told me to schedule an appointment for extraction. So, not only did she not prescribe painkillers or antibiotics or anything to help my situation, I was put through an entire day of emotional stress about having a tooth extracted for no reason. I have extreme dental anxiety and after the way she treated me I won't be returning.
