Excellent service.


Apr 1, 2025

The care provider is an excellent surgeon. He is also an excellent teacher. Any questions asked were answered with enthusiasm, care, and empathy. There are times, however, when said care provider was a little short. This comes with being human.

Dr. Peterson was pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, attentive and clear in explaining my injury and steps to recovery

Dr Peterson is one of the best docs I've ever seen. He's very good at explaining things without overcomplicating the situation and is clear in his directives.
