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.

Absolutely Not
I am absolutely disappointed in my appointment with Dr. Peterson. He completely disregarded several of my concerns and symptoms. I filled out a two-page document listing all of my symptoms, and he didn't look at it once throughout the 10-minute, very rushed appointment that we had. I received a blood test, knowing with certainty that it would be negative, yet I was putting my trust in him. The results were negative. So, after almost six months of waiting to see a rheumatologist, I am back at square one and suffering daily. I am thankful that he taught me an important lesson though, do not schedule your appointments around lunchtime, especially with Dr. Peterson. He will prioritize his food over his patients.

I was referred to Dr. Peterson's office by my primary care doctor, but unfortunately haven't had success with their front office. Four out of four times, they don't answer the phone, and don't call back. I didn't receive my initial forms to fill out, and considering that is a requirement before an appt., I was left with having to cancel the appointment. Very unhappy and disappointed.

Dr Peterson is a through and caring physician. I have a challenging autoimmune condition and Dr Peterson is thinking out of the box. He's proactive and he explains tests and the results in language that I can understand.. He does everything that he can to make you feel better. If you have any form of rheumatoid / arthritis. Dr Jeff Peterson is your man!

Dr. Peterson has a wonderful disposition. He's very kind and caring yet also extremely knowledgeable and professional. He's made a huge difference for me in my health and has always been supportive of the work I do with my Naturopath as well.
