Patient Reviews
Feb 10, 2022
A recent finger injury led me to Dr Peterson. Originally I was scheduled to have surgery at his surgery center at the California Orthopaedic Institute. The morning of my surgery I was tested for Covid, and very surprising to me I tested positive (absolutely no symptoms). Dr Peterson's assistant informed me I could not have the surgery because their operating room was not equipped for a Covid patient but to wait in my car as Dr Peterson was calling around to various San Diego hospitals to find an operating room for me. I was later scheduled for my procedure at Scripps Mercy Hospital and Dr Peterson was there waiting for me. I am so thankful that he went out of his way to find a place to accommodate my special needs and for his explanation of what the surgery would entail. I am grateful to Dr Peterson for his caring attitude and his skill operating on my finger! Thank you.
