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.

This is one of the most organized, well-run medical offices I’ve ever been in! The staff and Dr. Peterson are professional, kind, and caring, unlike a lot of other medical practices.
Dr. Peterson is very knowledgeable, takes as much time as you need to talk and answer questions, and informs you of test results faster than any others. Highly recommend!

This was a carotid artery ultrasound test appointment. Very efficient, professional, organized, and knowledgeable from the office staff to Dr. Peterson. The nurse and technician were helpful, interested, and professional. The entire appointment went smoothly and I never felt rushed, or confused. Dr. Peterson shared the test results with me and explained everything and answered my questions. I never felt rushed or anxious during the visit. I have been a patient at this practice for 8 years, I highly recommend Dr. Peterson.

This is probably the only doctor's office I go to that has such excellent service. I hardly ever have to wait even five minutes before I'm called back. The entire staff is friendly. Dr. Peterson personally goes over any test results the same day. This doesn't happen in any other doctor's office that I use. I often have to call and chase down test results with others.
