Almost all of the stones I've worked with have a different thicknesses and that's why it takes a good mason to take proper grade shots and know how to pitch the patio.
It seems to me that you hired a mason that mostly did walls, columns and not too much flatwork.

Before you spend double the money to go over top with another patio or put a roof over it, why not take the time to interview another mason or 2, explain the issue, hose down the patio so they can actually see the problem and ask them point blank if they can fix it. Then tell them that you can't afford to pay the balance of their work if it doesn't drain. I know several masons that we work with that would have that fixed with no problems. It's just that it's gonna cost you a bit more money.

Hopefully the problem area is only confined to a small area.

Keep us updated.
