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.

Knowledgeable and kind
She took her time with me and I was more than willing to wait the little extra time to see her because I know it's a result of taking time with her patients and not being overly driven by a clock. She was thorough & knew to ask questions on the first visit that other doctors I've seen for years never asked. She was also humble and able to refer me to a specialist when she knew what was out of her scope. She was supportive when I was a little tearful about quiting nicotine. As someone with many complex health conditions for many years & who wants to be an active participant in my care while still recognizing I need medical direction and medical care from healthcare professionals, she is an overall amazing practitioner, primary care provider, and person.

Peterson and her assistant David are amazing. They take the time I need, and follow up when they say they will.

Great knowledge, bad bedside manner
I did not have a good experience with Nurse Peterson. I felt very motivated to get established with a new provider, was prepared with a list of questions/concerns. Almost right away it was clear that I was not being seen as an individual, and her mind was made up about the person that I am. She was judgemental about current prescriptions that I had, scoffed at my questions and made me feel unimportant and overlooked. I left my appointment in tears (I am not typically an emotional person!), feeling angry, sad and scared. I was going to give it another chance and go for a second appointment (her recommendations in the appointment lined up with a specialist I saw a few weeks later, which is great!), but I've rescheduled with another provider rather than risk another appointment where I don't get the care that I need due to becoming emotional. tldr; Bad bedside manner & judgemental

I'm Dr [ ] and work at Lee Health. I thought Debbie was excellent and the visit painless. She listened to the issues I was concerned about and explained her medication and testing choices with a high degree of expertise. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
