Patrice L. Staten, MD

"I have nothing but trouble with this office recently. I first started seeing one of their physicians when I was around 18 and had the best treatment until that physicians retirement. Since her retirement the second physician I had was great at first and then seemed to rush me through appointments and would not listen to my perimenopause concerns because I was not "52". I am 48 though. That physician has since left as well. I contacted the office to set up an appointment for my yearly exam and was given a nurse practitioner as my replacement. That is perfectly fine with me but they then told me the office would contact me to set up an appointment. They never contacted me. When I call in, it goes straight to voicemail and when they call me back they just advise me to call in. I work 8 hours a day. I have tried contacting the clinic they see patients at near my home and I am told to call the main office. I will be seeking a referral after 30 years with them for another physician!"

"Dr. Staten is a great OB. Unfortunately the Maryville office is horrible when it comes to communication. I waited over a month to see dr. Staten only to be told once I got there that because I was in between insurances I had to pay up front. I didn’t bring my wallet with me so I couldn’t pay upfront today. They said they tried to call me TODAY to tell me I would have to pay out of pocket without insurance but I changed my number a few days ago so I don’t understand why they waited until the last minute to contact me and let me know that so now that’s an hour away from home and back wasted on an appt I didn’t have. Lord knows they take a year to get you back in for a reschedule. Letting people know all the options ahead of time would save a lot of gas and wasted time."

"Erin Wright is an amazing Doctor. She is very caring and very thorough. . Dr. Patrice Staten did a surgery to remove a cyst. An amazing office of well respected physicians that are very caring. The office staff is also very nice and very polite. I HiGHLY recommend this office for all of your Gynecological needs."

"Love this practice Dr. Staten is amazing! She is so knowledgeable and caring. She’s extremely precise all while making you feel so comfortable! She delivered my baby also on top of being my #1 OBGYN Thank you so much!"

"Dr. Staten is the most excellent doctor I've ever had. She's truly kind. I strongly dislike seeing doctors and she helps so much with my discomfort and fear. She is always nice, patient, and positive. I'm also a big girl and used to doctors being rude to me about my weight. Dr Staten has never been rude, even after I gained a lot of weight. She stresses the importance of being active and eating right for your health (and baby's) but she doesn't shame. She understands my medical history and mental health history and how they've impacted me over the years, including my weight. She's an excellent doctor. Her office workers aren't always excellent nor the wait times but she is worth it so it balances out."
