"I went for my consultation with Dr. Patterson for a mommy makeover. 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"
"Everyone at this office and that works for Dr Patterson was absolutely that kindest! Dr Patterson is so nice and compassionate about his work and patients, he takes the time to listen and reassure you when you are a bit anxious. I would highly recommend him with your plastic surgery needs. I had breast implants removed and it was a good decision! The nurses especially Ms. Ashley so sweet and understanding and they listen and ask questions and truly make sure you are good to go no matter the situation. Thank you all very much for your guidance to a big decision I made."
"Dr. Patterson and the entire staff from the receptionists at the front desk, to the nurses, and surgery coordinators have been AMAZING at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery! Everyone was wonderful with their affiliated surgical center as well! I experienced a saline breast implant rupture. The initial implant surgery was done 10+ years ago and performed by another surgeon who is no longer in the area. I was referred to Dr. Patterson by my previous surgeon. I was able to be seen quickly, have all my questions answered, and anxiety put at ease. My breast implant removal surgery and recovery have gone wonderful! I would highly recommend Dr. Patterson to anyone who is looking for an experienced plastic surgeon who genuinely cares about your health , well being, and giving the best possible result for your unique body."
"The staff and Dr. Patterson are up to date and knowledgeable in their practice. Being 70 years old, I most appreciated Dr. Patterson’s candor in his explanations to me as to what to expect on every level of a breast reduction/lift from pre-op to post-op. He explained every minute detail of the procedure and was patient with every question/fear that I had. He previously did breast augmentations for two of my daughters whom were pleased with his attention to detail, e.g. symmetry, etc. Feeling confident in Dr. Peterson’s care."
"I would like to recommend Dr. Patterson for your plastic surgery needs. He performed a tummy tuck and liposuction on my body. When I first met him I told him I had lost my son and husband two months from each other. I wanted to make a change for myself. We talked about what I wanted and he did it well. As you can see, he has transformed me into even more of a Diva. Dr. Patterson can do the same for you. Thank you Dr. Patterson and your lovely staff. You were there for me when I needed you the most.❤️❤️🙏🏾"
"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 !"
"Dr Patterson listens to you! I felt heard. I am sure I will be using him for years to come. I did my research for years before choosing Dr Patterson!!♡If you want that waist cinched, and breast implants ,and still look natural Nathan patterson is your guy!!!!"

"My goodness what a wonderful experience Dr Patterson did my labiaplasty and when I tell You I am soooo happy with the results and especially how the staff treats you is even more wonderful thank you all so much I am extremely happy"
"Dr. Patterson and his staff are AMAZING. After having a baby and breastfeeding my breast were not the way I wanted them to look. He spent an hour with me for my initial consult going over every possible question and concern I had - I booked my surgery that day. Ended up going with a breast augmentation and breast lift. Pre-op, surgery day and post-op appointments were all seamless. I never once felt uncomfortable or worried about the decision I made. I am so happy with the results. It’s the best thing I ever did for myself. Could not recommend Dr. Patterson and his staff enough. Do it!!"
"I loved my experience at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery. I received neck lipo with renuvion and I couldn’t be more happier with how comfortable Dr. Patterson and his team made me feel. They always made sure I was okay throughout the entire procedure. Dr. Patterson was very honest from the start of what he would recommend for me to get done. But, there was never any pressure to do it and I didn’t feel like I was being made to do something based off money. Dr. Patterson and his team actually cared about what I wanted and they take great pride in their practice. It’s not just a business to them, they genuinely care about your outcome and happiness. Thank you again! I can’t wait to heal and be able to take pictures with my son again and not have to hide !"
"Dr. Patterson performed my mommy makeover. I've had such a great experience, recovery and amazing results! With initial consultation he took the time to explain each procedure thoroughly and answer any questions which made me feel extremely confident and comfortable choosing him. My care after was also great, especially seeing Mckenna, she was so great and caring. Anytime I had any concerns she was so quick to get back with me which was really appreciated. 10/10"
"Amazing results, Dr.Patterson did a fabulous job and I am very pleased with my breast augmentation. The staff at the surgery center and at his office were very accommodating. I am looking forward to scheduling more procedures with him"
"Dr. Patterson did an implant exchange and breast lift. I am beyond happy with my results. Dr. Patterson took his time in explaining all the options and details of the surgery during my consultation. I left my consultation feeling completely confident in my decision choosing him and in his skills and abilities as a plastic surgeon. The staff is exceptional. From the ladies at the front desk to the nurses assisting Dr. Patterson, everyone was kind, professional and very helpful with any questions I had. I would 100% recommend Dr. Patterson and Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery."
"I had a consultation with Dr. Patterson for breast augmentation. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. They have an avatar like thing that let's you see each size on you and have you wear each implant in a bra to see how it feels. Surgery scheduled next month. Super excited."
"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."
"So glad I met Anna-Cherie while I was in for my consult with Dr. Patterson. She was even able to do some Botox for me that same day. 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."
"Amazing staff, they make you feel comfortable and welcome and my doctor, Dr. Patterson is phenomenal with his work, my gynecomastia procedure went smoothly and the results looks promising"
"Dr. Patterson preformed my breast augmentation & by far the best surgeon! He is absolutely amazing, his staff is so friendly & love answering any questions you have for them. Post op was beyond amazing with the help of the staff who love their jobs! Thank you Dr. Patterson for making me feel so incredible."
"Very pleased with the outcome of my breast surgery performed by Dr. Patterson. I highly recommend him & his staff is great!"
"A friend recommended Dr. Patterson for a tummy tuck. I've only had the consultation, but it was a great experience. The staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable. 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 chose Dr. Patterson not only for his amazing work but his honesty and straight forward information and feedback. I never felt like I was going to be set up for failure and always left fully trusted in his ability and knowledge. I had lipo on my outer legs and a breast augmentation and would 100% go back to Dr. Patterson for anything else. GCPS is a lovely place and overall the staff is friendly too."
"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. He treated me with the upmost respect and my results turned out better than I imagined. I am so happy with my decision to choose this facility. If ever I deceive to have another procedure done, I will without question, be returning to Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery. I cannot recommend them enough."
"I cannot rave about my experience with Gulf Coast enough. Everyone who I have worked with has been incredibly nice and professional. In my consultation Dr. Patterson took his time explaining the procedure, and did it very thoroughly. I really appreciated his transparency, because it didn’t feel like he was just trying to “sell me” he was very straightforward and open about every aspect. Walking out of my consultation I felt confident that he was the perfect surgeon for me, and he did not disappoint!My surgery went amazing!! 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 preformed my arm lipo back in Sep 2022, and it was hands down the best decision i have ever made with my body. Dr Patterson was very direct, professional, and informative throughout the whole process. Pre and post op went so smooth. Truly, i could not have had a better experience. This was my first and only time i have had plastic surgery and everyone was so kind! Highly suggest Dr Patterson!"
"Currently 3 days post-op from a full bilateral mastopexy by Dr.Patterson and his team, and I am beyond happy with the results! The whole team at GCPS made the entire experience so smooth and easy. I will always recommend Dr.Patterson to any friend looking for a great Plastic Surgeon."
"The best plastic surgeon in Pensacola is Dr. Patterson. Yesterday I felt supremely confident I was in the best hand for my breast reduction. Dr. Patterson is kind, patient, knowledgeable, professional and a great surgeon! After surgery I had very little pain. Dr Patterson and his entire team, including nurses at Gulf Breeze Hospital, were extremely friendly and supportive. I'm only sorry that I did not see Dr Patterson 10 years earlier for his help. I feel good today and only expect it to get better. Thank you for a great experience DR PATTERSON. I would recommend Dr Patterson to any family or friend.

"Dr. Patterson and his staff are amazing! He did my tummy tuck and liposuction and my results are better than I imagined! He seriously changed my life and how I feel about myself. I will definitely be coming to Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery if I decide to have anymore plastic surgery in the future 😁"
"Dr. Paterson and his staff are so amazing!! I had to have a breast reduction surgery recently and both he and his team are amazing at communicating with each other and their patient!! 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. But even then it just feels like a cat scratch and is in no way to painful to have. Dr. Paterson even took his time to make sure the room I was in was placed perfectly so that he could work and I still be comfortable. They truly care about their patients and I love them!!"
"Dr. Patterson is amazing! He did a beautiful job on my 2nd set - My personal experience w/ Dr. Patterson was years ago. I needed to have a breast implant replacement due to a leak from my previous implant.( previous Dr) Choosing Dr. Patterson the 2nd go-round was the best decision I made!!!!!. He is so compassionate, honest and very particular. which is good!. It shows in his resolutes!! He did a beautiful job on my 2nd set !!!! I’ve referred friends, close family members and my one and only child (my beautiful daughter) When she mentioned “boob job” there were no other options!! in our book-but Dr.Patterson b/c he is the absolute best across the board in our eyes. My daughter is looking great!!! They’ll be beautiful. Dr. Patterson is also good @ helping you feel comfortable choosing the correct Fillers, Botox, etc.. in the face care department. Very knowledgeable. Thank Dusti"
"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!!!!"
"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!"
"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!"
"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!!!!"
"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."
