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.

Compassionate and thorough. Really impressed.

AWFUL!!!! This place doesn't even deserve 1 star! Had an appt. at this location and waited an hour to even be seen. No one notified me in the waiting room that they were running behind and no apology from the doctor or anyone that I had to wait so long. Also was told I would be called the next day for my CT Scan appt. - no one called until 2 days later. Office staff, including office manager and Dr. Peterson, extremely incompetent and do not care! VERY poor customer service!!

She came to the hospital to clip my newborn's tongue tie. She barely explained anything, and when I expressed concern about my baby's pain or discomfort she acted like I was ridiculous for worrying about that. She said sometimes she brings something for numbing, but didn't bring it that day. She didn't even bother learning his name, and made me feel like he wasn't considered a real person because he's a baby. Horrendous bedside manner.

Terrible first impression! I never received a phone call telling me that I had an appointment and that I was not present. Had someone from this office called me I could have been there in 5 minutes because I live so close. Now, they have charged me with a $100 for being a "no show". It has been 2 mos. dealing with chronic migraine headaches and I still an no closer to a solution and I have spent hundreds of dollars and STILL no solution! Terrible service- even worse office personnel.

I will and already have recommended her to friends and family. She is wonderful! She is professional, thourough, does not hurry you out the door, (as I have experienced with another physician), reassuring, and a sweet personality. I felt in very good hands with her, and will return!
