February 25, 2016Bruce H.Verified patient
Dr. Peterson is not only good in his field, but he is so good with people. I really like him. If I did Facebook, I would like him on Facebook; but that is not my thing.
I look forward to interacting with him again... I am not only likely to recommend him; I have.
February 4, 2016Chris C.Verified patient
The medical assistant was fantastic. She explained what would happen and asked all the right questions. The doctor was excellent. His assurances left me feeling valued and important. Our discussion about the current conditions left me feeling a long term relationship was definitely in the offing.

Very nice doctor
January 26, 2016Bryan B.Verified patient
Didnt discuss a treatment plan. Only addressed the issue in one area and didnt treat the whole body. Got arrogant when I asked about a medication that I wanted to try. Blamed it on my insurance but when I called them they said try a different doc. Good advice, I think I'll take it.

November 5, 2015Julie M.Verified patient
I thought I might have to have the core in my foot cut out but he said it will just come back as he has done that himself. He told me how to take care of it and take the pressure off for the next 3-4 months. That is better any day than surgery.
October 2, 2015Mitzi B.Verified patient
Great doctor, I will recommend him to anyone who needs his services. Got right to my problem and took care of it.

I came in to have a possible melanoma checked out and was very worried. Dr. Peterson was very professional and his bedside manner really put me at ease. He was exactly what I hope for in any doctor.
June 4, 2015Kelsey B.Verified patient
He is an amazing Doctor. I've seen him multiple times for the same disease and he is wonderful at remembering who I am and what is going on. He knew what my diagnosis was the second he saw it, after no one else could figure out what it was!

I like him and feel like he was very knowledgeable and ready to help. My only complaint is the amount of time I had to wait, but he was stuck in a surgery, so it was justified.
