Fun Facts

The most interesting place Dr. Patton has resided is Berlin, where she lived for several months during medical school for a research project. She also recently participated in a surgical mission trip to the Philippines and plans to go on many more.

Dr. Patton’s guilty pleasure is baking a cake and making extra frosting so she can eat it all week long.

As a child, Dr. Patton wanted to be an astronaut. “I didn’t quite get there, but I did get to Houston, which is close enough.”
