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.

Dr. Petersen is a God send! Not only is he very professional, he cares about your quality of life!! He spends time with you and explains what your MRI or Xrays show! I have had four surgeries with Dr. Petersen and would go no where else!! I just wished he did back surgeries! He’s also very aware of your pain and how it effects your quality of life! I recommend him highly!!

Told me he would help me, have serious pain, torn muscle and hip, said no one else would write the meds i need to keep working, i don't want to be bedridden in agony again, and when it came time for him to follow through, he canceled my appointment and kicked me down the road, he ran the expensive tests that i already did, and didn't need, so he could tell me what i already knew.. then refused to treat me, he said he would face to face, but lied, he hid behind his secretary weaseling out of it

He likes to prescribe antidepressants a lot. Even changing the doses on antidepressants you're currently prescribed by a psychiatrist & adding another one. He's done this w/several patients, disregarding Black Box Warnings on these meds about suicide, & over dosing warnings on seizures and death during sleep. He, a bone&joint doctor doesn't have the expertize to treat psychiatric problems. This can, & has, turned into a very dangerous situation for his patients.

You know that feeling you get when you meet someone so socially inept that hey can barely have a conversation with you beyond a one-word response? That's the impression I got from Dr. Petersen and I should have taken that as a warning sign to go somewhere else. My son was taken there to have warts removed. They charged nearly $600 dollars ($250 of that for being a new patient) to fire a laser at the warts and none of them went away. Months later I took my son to a dermatologist and told them of
