Jim was born and raised in Billings, MT. He feels very fortunate to be able to practice in a city he loves.
After attending undergraduate college at both Carroll College and Montana State (Bozeman), Jim earned a degree in Biology from MSU with cum laude honors. He traveled east to earn his dental degree from the University of Minnesota Dental School and graduated with honors in 1990.
When not working, Jim spends time chasing after his three very busy daughters. He enjoys singing in church and on occasion in local theater productions. His golf scores prove that he spends more time at work than on the golf course.
Dr. Patterson is proud to be a member of these associations.
