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 Peterson has went above and beyond as a doctor. I feel so comfortable, he listens without prejudice, and honestly wants what is best for his patients. I am very thankful for my doctor.

Adore the doctor NOT the staff..
I absolutely adore Dr. Peterson! He has helped me through health concerns since I was a teenager. I am forever grateful for him and his wise knowledge. With that being said, I will no longer be doctoring here due to his rude office staff. They are extremely unaware of what's going on and have caused errors on insurance claims (causing me to almost be sent to collections). This isn't fair as a patient to be forced to pay full price for an appointment because of the office staff's mistakes and incompetency. Extremely saddened and disappointed.

Dr. Peterson is one of those rare physicians who is a genuinely *gifted* diagnostician, due in no small part to his desire to really LISTEN to everything that his patient is telling him. He’s one of the few physicians I’ve known who truly treats the patient on a ‘holistic’ level, and doesn’t use that word for its current marketing impact! He keeps current on all of the cutting-edge research & treatments while also leaning toward a more likely ‘easier on the patient’ treatment plan, @least to try first, before recommending the latest and newest (one more likely to not be fully covered by the health insurance plan!) which often saves wasted ‘emotional capital’, all especially important when the patient has already seen other docs before going to see him! He’s the ‘perfect’ balance of kindness, gentleness and real caring, always willing to admit if he’s not certain about something, and then he’ll go and do research to try to help! I’ve known a lot of physicians and he’s one of the BEST!

Muncie residents are so fortunate to have Dr. Peterson nearby. I live in Cincinnati & heard of him here long before I was able to see him in Muncie. I am forever grateful I was finally able to come there and receive care from this special family medicine practice. I aspire to return--I hope and pray before they retire!

Dr. Peterson is a great doctor but office staff is rude, inconsiderate of patient concerns & unhelpful. I called for a release form for a pt. Hours later, I hadn't received the fax so I called to request to have it re-sent. The lady that answered - Jen (I believe), was so rude. I asked for a manager and Ruth got on the phone. She said look lady you need to calm down or I'm gonna hang up on you. I wasn't even yelling! I had to ask her several times not to talk over me. Terribly dissatisfied.
