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.

Wonderful, thorough and professional!

Prior to an ablation procedure, I asked Dr. Peterkin to not use general anesthesia, which is not common or needed in this procedure. In particular, I expressed concern of using a breathing tube during anesthesia. He agreed, but used a breathing tube anyway, causing severe uvulitis (inflamation and swelling of the uvula), which lasted days after the procedure despite steroids and other treatments.
