I am 46 and I'very been seeing Dr. Petersen since last spring. He has performed two surgeries, medial meniscus tear and total knee replacement and a MUA procedure on my left knee. He is calm, concerned and encourages questions. I have referred several friends to him. I have Medicaid and they follow through and make sure my needs are met.

I found Dr Petersen and made an appointment for a total knee evaul. It was very evident he knows his stuff and we scheduled my operation. Now I have no memory after the operation until a week and half later on. There is only one thing I would give him a zero and that is making my elderly father wait 6 hours to tell dad how things went. This earned a big fat ZERO. Otherwise he is a very good physician who cares and is has awesome patient manners that makes you feel safe.

I saw the training doc who was awesome but Peterson was below average. His referral was lousy as well. He gave me a hard diagnosis my pain was 9 and all I asked for was a cortisone shot. Still waiting for MRI date and referral to new doc which I still have not received. I will have to find my own referral

Dr. Petersen was very kind and very knowing at what he was looking at and very frank about the outcome of my diagnosis. Will recommend him to friends and family. Going back for follow up appointment. First time I really liked a Doctor at the first meeting!

Dr. Peterson's bedside manner is of the highest caliber, he does not feel like you are cattle being run in and out of the office. he spends time with you and answers questions and doesn't seem hurried in any way. I would recommend him to all.
