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.

I was happy with how the exam went and how I was put at ease. Went better than I expected.

Dr Petersons and her team have been very good dealing with my son. He has Autism and a very difficult cancer. They all got to know him and treated him respect and never made him not be in on all of his decisions on his care. I would recommend this team to anyone that needed a special type of surgery.

When I first called they said that the next appointment would be in November. I told her that I had instructions that if my condition ever came back that I should call immediately. They said there was nothing they could do till November. But someone told this to Dr Peterson. I received a call back within an hour to make an appointment the next day! My worry turned into happiness, thank you.

Dr Peterson is a wonderful, caring physician. I have been seeing her since 2019 when I was diagnosed with cancer and she has been wonderful with my care, my followup and decision making as far as what treatment was best for my diagnosis and circumstance. I would highly recommend her.

Dr Carrie Peterson is a talented physician and surgeon. I have 100 percent confidence in her abilities. She explained everything in a way I could understand, recommending the best options so I could be part of the process. At each appointment, I had my list of questions. Dr Peterson always took the time to listen, answer my questions and was very respectful. The major surgery she performed was laparoscopic, therefore less invasive for quicker healing. She also used a pain block before the surgery that lasted 24 hours. I woke up from surgery with much less pain and needing less narcotics. These are all of her amazing abilities to benefit her patients. In addition to being a great physician, she is a wonderful person and I feel so blessed to have had her in my life through the challenges I faced. I am happy to report that after almost a year of treatment, I am Cancer-free and will no longer need to be under Dr Peterson’s care. Dr Peterson, I will be forever grateful.
