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.

Very quick. Not very warm and friendly. Before giving shot did not say what to expect- like a sharp inch. When i said ow he said nothing

Great news shoulder surgery not needed. Not so good news , arthritis is the problem but hopefully the injection will bring pain relief. Follow-up from last year’s knee replacement. No more knee pain.I walked two miles recently no pain at all. Thank you Dr. Peterson

not friendly at all
this doctor did not say 10 words to me from when he came in the room to when he exited after giving me my injections. no introduction, did not ask me my pain level, no bedside manner at all. I did not feel comfortable or welcome during my visit.

Doctor Peterson was in rush, did not spent enough time, did not give me a chance to ask questions and did not ask if I have any questions. Even did not say bye.

An opinion you can trust
My 16 year old son and I immediately knew we could trust Dr. Peterson and that his opinion was all we needed to calm down. His examination show’s how experienced he is. He immediately knew how to test the fractured hip and even explained to my son why and how this happened and what to expect. We were very lucky to see him especially before traveling overseas so we can manage our worry.

Excellent doctor
Saw Dr Peterson today for my shoulders and my neck all causing significant pain. He was thorough in his assessment, compassionate about my discomfort amd came up with a concise game plan outlining different treatment options and parameters for success to look out for. Hes a very knowledgeable and skilled physician and I recommend him highly.
