Patient Reviews
Jun 15, 2023
I recommend Dr. Peterson. Very kind and answered my questions as he also went into detail about the surgery. He explained risks as well as positive outcomes. I didn't feel rushed. He shook my hand, very professional. His office staff were very kind as well. Kandi(may have mispelled) his nurse who took some vitals, was very sweet. I feel more at ease about the surgery.
