Dr. Pederson is a highly-competent, experienced, and friendly eye doctor. He takes the time to get to know you, which is rare among doctors, and reflects that he genuinely cares about his patients. His support staff are equally friendly, as was his intern. This is a well-run practice, and I highly recommend it.
