Patient Reviews
Feb 10, 2022
Dr. Pedersen is an excellent rheumatologist. He is the first doctor who could help me with my condition. I've seen him for over 3 years and I can't imagine anyone giving him 1 star - he's the best I've ever seen. The appointments were never rushed, he always took time to answer all of my questions, and he always provided multiple options in terms of next steps. (It often takes a long time to work through the medications the insurance companies make you try first.)
