Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Arrogant. Pompous. Careless.
Couldn't be bothered to come check in when my mom was diagnosed with a terminal brain disease and we had questions. Didn't want to provide care and had some of the worst bedside manner I've ever seen. Laughed when we suggested treatments because apparently it was so silly that we were requesting follow up and direction on my moms brain disease. Literally go to any other neurologist if you want someone who cares even a LITTLE. Horrible doctor.

Don't go to him!
Horrible experience with Dr. Peterson! My husband and I were both so disappointed and angry. Our concerns were completely disregarded and I was repeatedly told the only way to fix anything was to keep increasing my dose even though I was having major issues with that specific medicine. When I asked about other kinds of medicine and treatment for seizures I was told nothing else was doable. Don't go to him! All he does is prescribe meds - nothing else.
