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 treated my broken and lacerated index finger. She explained in detail what needed to be done, and how I should care for my finger. Her academic pedigree is stellar, and her intellect and expertise were obvious.

Dr. Peterson is an excellent doctor and an expert at what she does. She did the carpal tunnel release surgeries on both my hands and got them working normally again. My care from our first consult to post surgery and recovery was top notch. I would highly recommend her!

Dr. Peterson operated on my thumb to repair a ligament "skiers thumb" rupture from a bicycle accident. I'm very satisfied with the results and would highly recommend her. She listens and is very thorough and detailed when communicating the plan of care. Thanks Dr. Peterson!

Dr. Peterson may not exactly be the most warm and fuzzy, but she is kind and knowledgeable and excellent as a surgeon. She performed a thorough examination and asked me details about my symptoms. She performed a carpal tunnel release surgery which has taken away the pain and numbness I was experiencing. I am grateful for her expertise.
