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.

I would give this doctor less than a star, if I could. At our first meeting after reviewing my chest x-rays he declared that we could relax because there was no cancer. He rushed to judgment before all tests' information was analyzed. The next meeting he reversed it to a cancer diagnosis. No apologies and no explanations. He did offer some crude and un-needed platitudes about geetting my affairs in order.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Petersen?
Dr. Peterson does not answer emails or make referrals in a timely fashion. When I found what he documented vs. what he said to me personally, I realized he is very good at covering his tracks. I had been puzzled as to why his ratings were lower than those of his peers.....and the factors I have mentioned must play a big part in that.
