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.

I felt everyone treated me so respectfully and dignified at this office. Dr Peterson answered all my questions and concerns. Impressed he answers email inquiries himself daily and called to check on me the day after surgery. One week post op right now and happy with results.

I had a saline slow leak in 2006 while living in Las Vegas. I found Dr Petersen and had home replace my saline implants with another pair of saline implants. Fast forward to 2021 I developed another slow leak in my implants. I now live in the state of Washington but love him so much and trust him that I flew down for a breast lift and silicone implants. I loved the staff so much and they were so kind. He’s a truly gifted doctor.

Repeat patient and will come for more surgeries – Jun 17, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Peterson?
Very nice for initial consultation. Complications with surgery were not handled well. Took over 7 months to finally be DONE with their office and get an 80% resolution to surgery. Covid office shutdown only made it worse. Karen the office manager is rude and condescending. I do believe Dr Peterson does not fully know what goes on in his office and money is far more important than the patient.

I had breast surgery in 2016 Breast lift and new implants put in. This was the worst surgery of my life and my breast are still a mess . I had open wounds and had to be treated by a Dr. in Las Vegas for 5 months . Dr. Peterson has not taken any accountability for his action on this surgery at all ! I have 4 other girls who are suffering from his neglect . SEE ANOTHER PLASTIC SURGEON

Terrible-He did cosmetic filler for me and at the same time a chemical peel under my eyes,which I believe he should have done separatly,I have done fillers before with very little swelling. the next day my face was swollen so much,I looked like a freak,I went to see the doctor 3 times and he wouldn't see me ,finally the lady at the desk took a picture of me and then he said it would be okay,but never took the time to look at me.then he said he didn't want to see me anymore because he said I scared his other patients with my swollen face. prior to that he did a cheek implant and now my top lip is numb and the teeth don't show when I smile ---He is the worst

I would not recommend him!! Consultation was great I have a right implant rupture during consultation they said they could get me in quickly once I decide what to do!! But once I called back with decision to give them my insurance info they conveniently couldn’t get me in until Sept because I’m not cash paying they could careless if you have a rupture and it’s causing health concerns if they tell you it doesn’t they are lying and go see a real dr serious infections occur he could careless

Happy with results!! in Utah – Jan 20, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Peterson?
Awful. My husband had a treatment done under the care of Dr Peterson and specifically noted that he was taking antibiotics and asked if it would affect his outcome and he said, no. We later discovered he was gravely mistaken. Other doctors not in the field as well as pharmacists were shocked by his lack of knowledge and cavalier approach to medicine.
