"My experience with Dr. Patching has been AWESOME! My first impression of him was that he took his craft VERY seriously. He was straightforward and let his patients know his expectations from the beginning of the process. Dr. Patching's office staff is friendly and effiecient. Dr. Patching expects his patients to follow his instructions from the beginning. He is strict and expects you to lose weight and adjust your diet. He just wants to make sure you are truly ready for this surgery. He has a great bedside manner. He actually gave me hug when I got approved for surgery. He always calls me \"kiddo\" which was endearing to me. I would definitely recommend Dr. Patching to anyone who was interested in getting WLS in the Sacramento area."
