I have been using Dr. Bendt Petersen several years now for all my lower and upper back pain. I’ve always had great results with my surgeries. I had been hurting in my neck for several years. 3 months ago I had hit the back of my head 2 times and the front of it all in the same day. I was experiencing dizziness, and pain in my neck. Dr, Petersen ordered an MRI of my neck and we decided to go with surgery to correct the problem. I’m now 18 days out and feel great. I will only let Dr. Bendt Petersen touch my back or neck. He’s awesome!

I have seen doctor Peterson for years. I have had two back surgeries and he did great. I read some negative reviews but he is not a pain management doctor. It bothers me some patients can’t understand that. If you want great care to correct your issues there isn’t a better doctor.
