Everything thing was great. Doctor was very friendly and gave good suggestions. Only wait time was horrible.

Awesome visit with Dr. Peterson. She and her nurse are both open-minded, funny, caring, gentle, and real. As a single woman, I'm always afraid of being judged when I walk into a gynecologist's office but they made me feel comfortable and normal.

Awesome visit with Dr. Peterson. She and her nurse are both open-minded, funny, caring, gentle, and real. As a single woman, I'm always afraid of being judged when I walk into a gynecologist's office but they made me feel comfortable and normal.
I absolutely LOVE her. She answers any questions/concerns that you may have and ensures that you have a clear understanding of the information you've discussed and how you should proceed.
Verified patient
Dr. Peterson and her nurse Michelle are both friendly and professional people who seem to care about their patients, listen to them, and follow a customized treatment plan. I was seen right on time, waited less than 5 minutes after seeing the nurse for Doctor Peterson, and she truly listened and made sure the treatment plan was right for me. It was only my first time seeing her, but I felt heard and cared for, and I plan to return.
Verified patient
Dr. Peterson was super friendly (as were all the staff members I interacted with) and I feel like she actually listened to me and cared about what was going on with me (which isn't a thing people get to say about their doctors very often). The appointment moved fast, but was very thorough.
Verified patient
I highly recommend not only this doctor, but the office staff and nurses made me feel comfortable in every way possible. After changing doctors a few times I am thrilled with my new doctor and hope to stay with them for the foreseeable future.
Verified patient
my first visit was pretty good and coming to my second visit my opinion was completely changed, first thing dr sarah peterson was not available in the hospital and no one informed us regarding this.Some other doctor came to see us which we never know him and doesn't know anything about him i have booked an appointment by searching some lady doctor to feel comfort to talk about all the things clearly.As this is my first pregnancy i wanted some comfort in talking all the things clearly which i cant talk to some unknown doctor visiting me in the middle.some of my cousins told there experience that this never happened to them and they suggested me to with only one doctor so that case can be handled clearly by the doctor and even i wanted the same .Totally disappointed with my second appointment.and coming to the wait time for my second visit they took so much time to come and talk to us we have waited for about 40 mins where we were in rush with our daily work.Actually my appointment need to complete in about 40 mins but they took more than 1 hour 40 mins to get things done.Totally disappointed with my second visit.If this is going to happen i need to change to some other lady doctor.
Verified patient
