Overview
Dr. Dorothy Patterson is a rheumatologist with Arthritis & Rheumatology Institute in Frisco, Texas, where she cares for adults and teenagers ages 15 and up with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthritis, gout, lupus, scleroderma, myositis, vasculitis, and other autoimmune and connective tissue diseases. She also partners with ophthalmologists, dermatologists, gastroenterologists, and other specialists to manage immunosuppression for conditions such as uveitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and sarcoidosis.
Dr. Patterson completed her combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where she served as Chief Resident, and went on to complete her fellowship in Rheumatology at UT Southwestern. Her Med-Peds training means she is comfortable with the full span of rheumatic disease from adolescence through adulthood, and she has a particular interest in helping young patients make a smooth transition from pediatric to adult rheumatology care.
She is fluent in medical Spanish and sees Spanish-speaking patients without an interpreter. She believes a first rheumatology visit should leave patients with a clear explanation of what is known, what is still being worked out, and what happens next — and that referring physicians deserve a prompt, useful consult note.
Her clinical expertise encompasses Hypercalcemia, Milk-Alkali Syndrome, Gallstones, and Familial Hypertriglyceridemia.
Dr. Patterson is board certified in Internal Medicine. She is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 2 peer reviewed articles.
