He did an amazing job at explaining what all is involved with the makeover, he explained the different procedures to include pros and cons. He even drew pictures to show how my body would be put pack together. He offered pictures of past procedures before and after. I was very pleased and feel I can make the best decision for my mommy makeover. Not to forget his staff. They were very sweet and kind. They were also very empathetic with me and my medical history. I feel I have made the correct decision overall in my choice with Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery."
"Just a note of Thanks to Dr. Patterson and his staff. I am so thankful for everyone in his office for taking such good care of me. Dr. Patterson is one of the Best doctors in Pensacola. I decided back in 2010 to have breast implants put in due to nursing 3 children. Dr. Patterson is a perfectionist and I am thankful for that. Dr. Patterson also did a breast reduction for my daughter due to severe back pain and now the back pain is gone and we were able to get her off of pain medicine. May 2024 I had my implants removed due to having rheumatoid arthritis and severe back pain. As of now I am 3 days post opp and feel so much better. I wish I could remember everyone’s name in his office because they deserve Recognition for going above and beyond being helpful. Gulf Coast Plastic surgery is Voted The Best in Pensacola if you ask me. Thank-you for your expert care and saving me from a dangerous back surgery. I have so much more energy now and I am beyond blessed having extraordinary care! I would also like to say that The Cornerstone Surgery Center was Amazing. Shout out to such a Amazing team. The anesthesiologist made me feel like there was nothing to be afraid of and she was right. I feel like they are the Best team with over 50 years combined experience in Pensacola!! Keep up the Great work! Tanya Ballard"

Dr Patterson. He is warm and friendly, no nonsense, his team is kick aZZ and they know what they are doing. This is someone scared of a dental procedure. (Me). I cannot recommend them enough. They don't play games. They don't coddle. They are business with a side of, if you need a hug, we're here. I didn't have to worry about infection or not having the right meds. In and out and I am blown away at my results. I'm 48.5, grandma of 3 and after a 55lb pound weight loss, can wear a bikini again. (In this pic I'm 7 days post op and still have the drain. This is how good we look after he operates!!)"

"Loved having appointment at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery. Dr. Patterson was very wonderful in explaining everything to me and answering any and all of the questions I had. He also told very very detailed information about all options available and any risks with it, which was mostly none. He was very professional and helpful. I had liposuction in mind for breast enlargement, but since I am very lean, Dr. Patterson suggested the implants for a better results. Although I was scared of implants due to the bad verbiage it has online, Dr. Patterson explained the myths and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. At the end of the appointment I have changed my mind and decided to get implants instead. Thanks to so much detailed information and feedback from Dr. Patterson. His staff was also very friendly and helpful. Overall my visit was great and I walked out relaxed and curtain about the upcoming procedure. Don’t read the internet on those procedures, it will scare you off, go to Dr. Patterson who will debunk all myths and tell you everything to make your mind at ease and your options open. Strongly suggest their office for cosmetic surgery !"

"7 week Post Tummy-tuck review! I had a revised abdominalplasty done by Dr Patterson… I’m a “vibes” person and had good vibes about him. His nurse “Ashley” confirmed my decision when she told me you can’t go wrong with either 3 in this practice, but Dr Patterson cares! That got me! Dr Patterson is personable, he sits down and’s talks to you and he listens!!! He was honest about what he could do or couldn’t. Therefore expectations were realistic! He had to be creative with me because I was a revision. I am happy with my results! I am pleased with his staff! From the front desk to amazing Makenna, his nurse, assisting with my ❤️ recovery phase! I’m a RN as well. Very down to earth and I love who I see in the mirror! I’m 40 with 4 kids…And I just bought some belly shirts.😝 Don’t judge me! Enjoy your life! Live it to the fullest!❤️"

"I am 7 weeks post op from an abdominoplasty and mastopexy performed by Dr. Patterson and his great surgical team. I cant say enough positive things from my initial consult to the post op care received weeks after the surgery. One important thing that Dr. Patterson shared with me in my consultation was the importance of allowing myself to heal. I knew this would be the most difficult part, but i listened to his advice and i am pleased with how my body has healed. I knew going in to the surgery that i would miss a lot of fun summer gatherings ( including pool parties and beach events) but i know i would not be experiencing the excellent results if i didnt listen to his advice. A great surgeon not only does beautiful work but also sets clear expectations for your recovery period. Thank you to Dr. Patterson and his compassionate team."

She had some great suggestions and has such an artistic eye for exactly what you need. I went back to see her for some fillers that I am loving. I will definitely be back in to see her."
"Dr.Patterson helped me tremendously! I felt very confident after our initial consultation. I was referred to Dr.Patterson to help me with the complications I developed from a previous surgery. We developed a patient /doctor trust necessary to move forward with stage one to case finals. Thank you, Julia,McKenna,Ashley,Jenna and every staff member involved who were patient, and understanding you relieved my stress! My experience with Dr.Patterson and staff is the level of standard earning 5 stars. A talented surgeon, compassionate and efficient staff. I can attest any patient choosing this group of professionals will be well taken care of! I highly recommend Dr.Patterson and staff to help with your medical needs or desires!"

Thanks for being so great GCPS!! Update 1/20/2023 6 Weeks Post Opp. Hands down the best experience from start to finish! The staff at the cornerstone office were amazing, the anesthesiologist staff was AMAZING - and made my fear of being put to sleep a thing in the past. Dr Patterson whole crew is really the best.

"I cannot say enough good things about this facility and it’s staff. I waited/wanted a breast augmentation for 15 years before I finally had the procedure. I researched a lot surgeons before picking GCPS. I am beyond impressed and happy with the entire process. The office is immaculately clean and the office staff are some of the sweetest women you will meet. They answered all of my questions- all 1 million, and they made the payment and scheduling process extremely easy. The nursing staff is incredibly kind and helpful- again, they answered all of my questions, helped me pick my size, and were amazing the day of my procedure. Dr. Patterson did my surgery and the man is a gift to plastic surgery. He is so informative before, during and after.

Dr. Patterson was friendly, made me feel comfortable, and did a fantastic job at explaining the procedures, options, and methods. I felt very confident with my decision to schedule a "mommy make over" with him. He made clear, matter of fact recommendations that gave me plenty of information needed to make a well thought out decision. I feel the pricing is realistic and not inflated for the current market. So far, I'm extremely pleased with the experience and look forward to my mommy make over. I've no doubt I'll be just as pleased with that as well."

I’m only 2 weeks post-op for an abdominoplasty, and absolutely love my results! Could not have asked for a better surgeon or experience!"
"Dr. Patterson and all the staff were very helpful in seeing my husband for a malignant melanoma. We were surprised to be referred to a plastic surgeon, but he also does these surgeries.

"He has showed compassion and nothing but the utmost respect - Dr. Patterson hands down is the best!! He is caring, compassionate, and very honest. I had a few bumps in the road with my original surgery (I had preventative surgery for BRCA2+ genetic) and I truly don’t know what would have come out of it, had he not been my doctor. I am so thankful that God put me as his patient in 2019. He has been there for me, and showed compassion and nothing but the up most respect.

"It’s been a year since my surgery with Dr. Patterson and I couldn’t feel better. Best decision I have ever made for myself and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience from my first appointment to my last. Everyone in the office was always extremely helpful and caring. They never felt bothered when I had many questions and / or concerns. Very reassuring. Definitely would recommend them to anyone considering plastic surgery."
"Very professional. Dr. Patterson explained everything about my upcoming procedures in great detail. Staff explained fees and pre-op process very thoroughly. Only downside was a very long wait to be seen when they called me to come earlier due to cancellations which meant an extra hour of my workday because I waited an hour to get called back and then waited a long while after in an exam room to see the doctor. Otherwise I would have rated 5 stars."

"Patterson and his staff were and still are very awesome. I was nervous going in for my consult. Sheena was very polite and helped me every step of the way from booking my consult all the way until surgery. Patterson was so professional, and he answered all my questions (and yes I had like a million questions) that I booked my surgery right away after the consult. Anna-Cherie helped ease my nerves when I went in for my pre op. She was very detailed on what to do before and after surgery. The day of surgery Patterson was very compassionate and made me feel very comfortable going into surgery. I’m only 1 day post op and these girls look amazing. I can’t wait until they settle into their new home."

Even going as far as to call me a few hours after surgery to ask if I was still feeling okay. They helped me with my insurance plan and let me know all the risks and exactly what was going to happen while I was under so that I woke up with no suprises. I already feel the difference. My once nearly incurable pain in my neck and shoulders are completely gone. The only pain I feel is where I actually got cut.

Beyond Happy. 🙏🏻 Thank you ❤️❤️❤️"
"Dr Patterson is an amazing doctor. Did a great job!! Will dafaintly go again."
"Best. An artist. Wish I still lived in the area bc I would be using him for everything. Dr Patterson did my breasts and I am 4 months post OP. My results are beyond my expectations. I smile everytime I catch myself in the mirror. He also did some work to correct my breast shape, which i thought impossible. And he did it all internally, so I have no scars besides the main incision. Little extra painful as the nerves healed but worth it a thousand times. I highly recommend him and his fantastic staff to family and friends. He really listens and does the best thing for his patients. And he has some serious skills."
"Dr Patterson was great to work with, highly professional and helpful with all of my questions. The ladies in the front were awesome. I recommend going here to anyone."
"Came in for lipo and replaced my 14 year old implants. During surgery Dr. Patterson found a disaster from a pervious hernia mesh surgery, different surgeon. Instead of doing the lipo and sewing me back up he did the right thing and correct this major issue that ultimately could have hurt me maybe killed me. He saved my life and gave me the flattest tummy and my implants look great!!!! I refer every to him! He's the best!!!! And Shena is the sweetest nurse!"
"Caring staff, comfortable office and great medical experience. They listen and treat you with respect. Thank you."

"I came here with my mother-in-law to keep her company through her procedure (She had her lips and smile lines filled) When we walked in the office it was clean, beautiful and everyone who worked there was extremely helpful, kind and made you feel relaxed. I ended up getting treated to lip fillers as well for a Christmas present and I’m so happy I did! They’re soft and nicely shaped :) I’ll be returning for more around March for my birthday. I highly recommend!!!!"
"Dr. Patterson and his staff were wonderful! Very friendly and informative."
"The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the implant size. They even order a last minute request a couple of days before my surgery. And unbeknownst to me ordered a size range in between my first choice and second choice. I thought that was just great! I ended up going with the middle ground implant, which was between my original selection and my larger selection . They will answer all of your questions. So ask away! I am still waiting for everything to settle but overall very satisfied with my treatment."
"Dr Patterson is doing my reconstruction after a mastectomy. He is compassionate and highly skilled. I do not have a single complaint! His office staff is courteous (and beautiful). I appreciate Dr Patters on so much."
"Very thorough explanation of procedure and options. He was a bit late for surgery but not bad. Staff very friendly and office as well as waiting room welcoming. Rio was even able to get me a price match in comparison to another consult I completed after comparing quotes. First post op was with nurse which was a bit disappointing as this was not mentioned. Also called often to reschedule appt times 15 minutes earlier from consult to post op appts. Surgery results are good and I feel he did a good job with my revision.

"Get Your Lips Done Here! - Amazing! I’ve been in twice and both times have gotten beautiful natural looking fillers. I have never had any problems with bumps or bruising and can trust I won’t be getting that dreaded duck lip look here!"
"Capsular repair - Had one breast drop and needed revision as it was a 2 inch difference. Had moved out of town so went to two different consults. Patterson did revision and 5 days post op I am pretty satisfied. There appears to be some nipple difference-one appears higher than other. There may have been some difference prior to revision and original augmentation but this is more than before. The implants do sit more evenly with one another as after original augmentation. So while i not 100% satisfied I am happy with the drooping breast no longer drooping :)"
"The staff was super friendly and helpful with my decisions. I was able to get my in office procedure done, schedule for an upcoming surgery date and fit into the skin care side as well, with ease!

Dr Patterson and his team made me feel so comfortable during the process, they kept me well informed and they were there to answer and questions or concerns I had. Dr Patterson also was in contact with my husband during my surgery and my recovery. I am so grateful for him and his staff for the work they have done and the time they have spent on me."
"Had a great experience!! I needed some internal stitches removed due to another doctors operation of years ago and a skin abnormality cut out from my forehead. The Dr. and his team were seemless, personable and did a great job. The price was also very reasonable considering what many charge. I would recommend them."
"Great service and follow-up."

"I've never written a Google review, but this one was more than worthy of my time. I had an excellent experience with Dr. Patterson and his staff. They were all extremely friendly. They made me feel comfortable, told me what to expect, and what not to expect. Dr. Patterson gives you realistic expectations and tells you what he thinks will be ideal for you and your body. He, and his staff, are more than eager to answer all questions that you may have. I would certainly send anyone who is considering surgery or a small procedure to Dr. Patterson and his staff. If you keep in mind all of the realistic expectations, you will certainly not be disappointed."

"51 Years Old 5 Kids and my New Body - Gulf Breeze, FL - I am now 51 and have raised 5 kids and just got remarried 2 years ago. I realize I have always taken care of everyone but myself, so one day I looked in the mirror and just wasn't happy with the body I saw. It was a train wreck with stretch marks and a pouch no amount of crunches could save. I wanted my self confidence back and be able to share that with my new husband. Needless to say my husband was so supportive and wanted me to be happy, so I made the appointment. It was the best decision I could have made!Updated on 12 Jul 2016:Well I am on day 14 now of recovery and would have to say it was nothing like I thought it was going to be. I was so terrified I would be in excruciating pain and it wasn't even that level. I had the adhesive placed so I wouldn't have to have drains like many others have experienced, and I think that is why recovery has not been bad. My pain was about a 6 on the first and second day but stayed on top of my meds so it wouldn't be worse. I was able to take a shower 24 hours after surgery and see my body for the first time and wanted to cry. My body was so bruised everywhere and swollen badly needless to say my first shower was heavenly!!!! Things were going good I was in my recliner day and night like instructed by my ps when on day 5 I had a discharge coming from my new belly button and had a low grade fever. Of course it was on Sunday when his office was closed, so I got his answering service and let me tell you as soon as she paged him he was calling me. He called me in more antibiotics and gave me his cell phone number if anything else happened and told me to be in his office Tuesday since Monday was the 4th of July. Everything on Tuesday turned out fine and the staff was great to me. Day six was the first day I took pictures cause it was my glimpse that I was gonna be okay and I wanted to share them. I already posted them with my before pictures. I can honestly say everyday is different when recovering, some days you get up and feel great and other days you want to cry and then you have the days where first thing you do is take a muscle relaxer and pain pill cause you are having spasms and pain. Please ladies ask your ps to prescribe 4 things before surgery: pain meds, nausea meds, antibiotics, and muscle relaxer cause you will need them all!!!!! Oh yeah I also started arnicare 5 days prior to surgery which help you heal faster (this really works) look at my bruising in the pictures not bad at all.Well the pretty much covers everything up to my current day 14 of recovery, and today I actually went out to dinner with my husband, but let me say this after walking around and getting in and out of the car I was tired! I have so much respect for you ladies that go back to work at this point!!! I couldn't do it...my energy level just isn't there yet. I will tell you I still have tightness and swelling in my lower ab section and numbness in places but not too bad, and my tape covering my incision fell off so covered it with hospital tape to protect it. I have an appt on July 14 to check everything out and I will let you know how it goes. I will also take more pictures tomorrow and post them. I hope this helps anybody that needs reassurance and answers going through this life changing adventure.Updated on 13 Jul 2016:"

"Absolutely amazing staff. Dr Patterson took such good care of me, both physically and emotionally. His staff was kind and went out of their way for me. I was so impressed."
"Dr. Patterson is amazing! He is very caring and listens to what you want as a patient. He and his staff went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and make sure my breast augmentation was a pleasant and comfortable experience. I can't say enough good things about them honestly. I wouldn't go to any other surgeon!"
"Beyond pleased with the experience at Patterson Plastics. Everyone here is courteous, professional, helpful and informative. Dr. Patterson has an excellent staff on board and I can't thank them enough for the pleasant experience. Now as for Dr. Patterson, let me say as a nurse, my best advice is to NEVER select a surgeon you are even slightly uncomfortable with in any aspect. Dr. Patterson greatly exceeded my expectations with knowledgable, informative answers to all my questions and obvious expertise in his field. He had no problem explaining to me his procedures and why he selects the methods he uses. Great bedside manner and will honestly do what is BEST for the patient not what it s going to just make him a buck. If you're torn between two surgeons like I was, go with Patterson and you won't be disappointed."
"Couldn't Be Happier!!!!!! - Gulf Breeze, FL - Unbelievable procedure and outstanding treatment. You couldn't ask for a more professional and carrying Dr and/or staff. My results have been "over the top" and better than expected. I have worked locally in the medical field for 25+ years and I would recommend no other plastic surgeon or surgical facility."
"37 Years Old and Wanting to Feel "Pretty" in Clothes Again! - Pensacola, FL - I am 37 and happily married for over 12 years. Just realized how much of a boob man my husband is, LOL. After investigating local and distance doctors and personal reviews from clients for a breast augmentation for over a year we decided to go with Dr. Patterson. Best decision EVER! The doctor and all of the staff were out of this world. Everyone made me feel comfortable and explained the entire process with great detail. The only thing I wish was described better was how your breasts feel immediately following. It feels like when you are done breastfeeding and your boobs are so full of milk they will burst. If a patient has had children that description will explain exactly what to expect. Thanks again to Dr. Patterson and his entire staff!!!!"
"Scar Follow-up and Treatment - Excellent Care - Gulf Breeze, FL - Dr. Patterson and his staff are outstanding!!! Without going into great detail, I fell and busted my forehead open while on vacation - over 70 stitches in my forehead. I went to Dr. Patterson for follow-up care and scar treatment after being stitched up at an emergency room. The entire process turned pretty ugly since the remnants of a hurricane were coming thru Florida, blocked roads, several reschedules, etc. Dr. Patterson and his staff bent over backwards to accommodate me, removed the stitches at the right time, and spent a ton of time explaining all my scar care options. All of that for some random guy who called up out of the blue and had no potential to be a long term patient.They really care about people here and provide outstanding care."
"33 Yo, 4 Kids, Shaped Implants - Gulf Breeze, FL - I have nursed four children and always wanted to have full breasts. Nursing left me deflated and smaller than I was before. We decided the teardrop shaped implants were best for the result I was looking for and with my small frame, we went with 295cc. At two months post-op, my breasts are naturally full and symmetrical. I have never felt sexier or more confident than I do now! Call Dr. Patterson and go in for a consult. It is so worth it.Updated on 24 Feb 2016:"
"23 Year Old with No Children - Gulf Breeze, FL - I had a good expirece except the outside surgical center he used had a preop nurse that was so mean to me. She almost caused me to walk out and not have the surgery. She was so ugly to me before the procedure that I woke up from surgery screaming to keep that nurse away from me. I'm so glad my mom was there."
"51 Yr Young Single Mother of Two. Systems and Data Analyst - Gulf Breeze, FL - I had Breast Cancer, and finished 6 months of chemo. Dr Patterson did my reconstructive surgery. Then I did 30 rounds of radiation therapy. After that, Dr Patterson did my expander replacement and the breast reduction on the other side. I could not be happier with the results. I feel like a woman again. Thank you so much for that."

"Breast Reduction Revision - Gulf Breeze, FL - I had a breast reduction in 2014 by a Dr who had left me with horrible results. I went to Dr. Patterson who revised the mess the first Dr left me in. Dr. Patterson gave me the beautiful results I was wanting the very first time. His caring manner and precision on his work left me a happy patient. He not only cares about his work BUT truly cares about how you are doing before, during, and after. I am very thankful for this man helping me and making me feel better about myself. I can't forget his staff at the office. They are some beautiful people inside. They truly want to make you happy. Now that I've been in his office, I honestly know what it's like to be in a caring facility and in caring hands. I honestly wish I would have had them my first go around... LOVE you all for helping me and making me feel better!!!"

"56YrOld Who Inherited Her Grandmother's ProtrudingStomach, Had 2Cesareans & a Hysterectomy in Need of a TummyTuck. Pensacola, FL - As young as I can remember, I've always had a protruding stomach that I tried to cover up with shirts. I even been asked when is my baby due! That can make for a very self conscious, insecure woman. The opportunity became available at the age of 56 to have a tummy tuck. I did extensive research and found the perfect plastic surgeon. Dr Nathan Patterson who amazes me with his brilliance and skill performed the perfect abdominoplasty on me and made all my dreams come true. I am now a 56 year old woman with a perfectly flat stomach.Updated on 21 Apr 2015:The importance of a nicotine free body is essential for the healing process after a tummy tuck at any age. I was concerned about the length of the healing process at the age of 56 and assumed it would take me a little longer. I also thought the pain level would be unbearable. I suggest to anyone prior to surgery to look up the care of drainage tubes after surgery on UTube which I was terrified of until I saw a girl demonstrate the post op procedure. When I woke up from my abdominoplasty I was in a compression garment with a drainage tube on the left and right side of the incision. My post op pain level was surprisingly low which I think was contributed to the skill of the surgeon. It is very important to go into this type of surgery knowing that afterwards that the less you do the less swelling you will have and the speedier you recovery will be. Don't forget ice, ice and then more ice. It will become your best friend. You may want to prepare something to occupy the time such as reading a good book and getting some really good movies to watch for the first two weeks of healing. You will need help especially if you have small children. It's imperative to stay off your feet for the healing and swelling process. I've had a remarkable speedy recovery because I kept standing and walking at a minimum for those first two weeks . Prior to surgery make sure you have at home plenty of ice, ice packs or refreezable gel packs. After two weeks both my drainage tubes were out, not in the same day and my stitches were out. The third post op week I started doing a little more but not over doing it and still using ice. So far, my recovery has been quick and the swelling to a minimum. Expect a significant amount of swelling to go down in about 8 weeks and the residual to take up to a year. I'm 3 weeks post op and have 5 more weeks . The third week I've noticed a remarkable difference each day. Just have patience with your body. Before and after pictures will be following about mid May. Like they say, a picture speaks a thousand words.Updated on 16 Mar 2020:Still have flat tummy and it's never been flat. I was terrified. For one thing I had to hurdle no more nicotine. After surgery give yourself time for the swelling to go down.I thought the drainage tubes would be a nightmare so I had someone initially do it but after the second or third day I started doing it myself because it was not a big deal."

"56 Yr Old in Need of Breast Reduction/lift Her Whole Life - Pensacola, FL - Since the age I developed I have been self conscious of my breast that were large and hung low. The opportunity became available for me to afford a breast reduction/lift so I did a thorough research on plastic surgeons and found one that met my criteria. I could tell 2 days after surgery, even with my swelling, that I had chosen the right doctor. I am so happy with the results that keep getting better every day."
