My daughter accompanied me. I’m a 90 year old male. We found Dr. Peterson to be very unprofessional. He said that he needed to move on before answering all our questions even though he had been with us less than 15 minutes. In short if this had been my first exposure to Northwest Eye it would have been my last. My primary doctor is Kruthoff with whom I’m well pleased. Peterson does not measure up to the level of performance I have experienced with other members of your clinic.

I have been going to Dr Peterson for many years. Dr Mundahl recommended him as I do mono vision with my contacts. Absolutely great physician. Very soft spoken and up to date with all medical questions. Highly recommend him. Great physician.
