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.

My 88 year old mother has stage 4 cancer. Dr Peterson’s Nurse scheduled her for a portal insert for chemo treatment at 10:00 in the morning. We arrived at 9:30. They prepared my mom placed her in a bed hooked up an IV. When they hadn’t come to get her by 12.00 noon I started asking the nurses why. I was told they were waiting on the Dr. I ask again at 1:00. Nothing. I ask again at 2:00. Was told the OR nurse would come talk to me. The OR nurse showed up at 2:30. Told me that Dr Peterson was doing a Robotics surgery and they hoped to get my mother to OR in 30 min. After my challenging the nurse they came 5 min later to wheel my mother to what I thought would be surgery but no they wheeled her to a location where she was by herself and she lay there for another 45 min before they took her into surgery. She was then to be n recovery 30 min. It was an hour. Keep in mind she had no food or drink from 8:00 the day before it is now 4:45pm. The most inconsiderate incompetent treatmnt

If I could give her zero stars I would!!! My mother's experience was horrible and life changing... she's arrogant and very unprofessional.

Dr. Peterson is beyond knowledgeable in her profession. She went into complete detail pertaining to the diagnosis & surgery procedures leaving us with very few questions to ask because she covered every area on multiple occasions. She was great for the care of my husband's surgery & follow up as well. I highly recommend Dr. Peterson.

She did a great job with removing a cyst/Lypoma on the side of my neck. Very kind doctor, took her time and answered all my questions. I’ll use Dr Peterson again if I’m ever in need.

Dr Peterson did an outstanding job on our mother. She was thorough and explained each eventuality (“if this, then this”). If she is your surgeon, you are extremely capable hands.

Did my mom's Colon resection a week ago today. Excellent doctor. Great bedside manner and when surgery was over, she explained everything and answered all of our questions. I would recommend her for sure.
