Verified patient
Dr. Pierre didn’t really listen to my concerns and stayed focused on treating acne, even though it wasn’t the reason for my visit. Even after I showed him photos of my symptoms - later diagnosed by another doctor as perioral dermatitis—he prescribed oral antibiotics and retinoids, which is appropriate for acne, but highly irritating for PD!!! I felt dismissed and not taken seriously. I wouldn’t recommend this doctor if you want to be diagnosed; if you’re okay with a 2 minute visit, long-term antibiotics, and having the doctor decide what your problem is without listening, this might work for you
great dr, good listener, takes his time

Quick and efficient!
Verified patient
I was pleasantly greeted by the front office staff. I was taken back right on time and the provider came in immediately following the medical assistant’s work up. Dr. Pierre diagnosed and treated me immediately and I was on my way in less than 30 minutes .
Verified patient
The doctor spent very little time with me, less than 5 minutes. It was my first appointment, and I was having a major eczema flare-up all over my body. He did not even do an exam or ask me any questions. He just took one look at my neck, where some patches were, recommended a prescription, and had me buy lotion from him, which contained fragrance. I don't know why anyone would recommend a lotion for someone suffering from skin irritation that has fragrance in it. I was trying to ask him questions and discuss possible causes, and he left the exam room. I was still trying to talk to him as he walked away from me and down the hallway. My problems got worse after seeing this doctor.
Verified patient
front desk was rude, the provider and MA was rude . the provider did not listen to our concerns and walked out the room. would not recommend
Dr, Peterson and his wife, who is a doctor, where very good on listening to my problem and helping me to stay calm and focused on the solution. The staff are very attentious and proactive. Loved my experience!
Verified patient
I went to see him to remove a splinter that was deep into my index finger. He did not wash his hands. He did not wear gloves he did not cleanse my finger before or after removal of the splinter.
Verified patient
Friendly staff, very communicative doctor and follow-up care was both clearly explained but also provided a short follow up document so I did not need to remember everything.
