In response to the July 17 letter titled, “Dr. Patterson had integrity,” I agree with (letter writer) Stephen B. Graham, D.O. that these charges are slanderous and they are going to hurt (Dr. Patterson’s) career and reputation. But in my opinion, Dr. (Steve) Patterson is a good pediatrician, if not the best pediatrician my son and daughter have seen. And if they need Dr. Patterson again, I will not hesitate to take them to him. Julia A. Foley Pembroke
