Patients describe Dr. Dane Peterson as professional, knowledgeable, and personable, highlighting his ability to communicate effectively and address patients' questions in an understandable manner. Many appreciate his thorough examinations and genuine concern for their well-being, recommending him highly for eye care needs. However, a negative review mentions that Dr. Peterson was perceived as unprofessional for not fully answering questions during a brief consultation, which contrasted unfavorably with the experiences this patient had with other doctors at the clinic. Overall, while most feedback is positive, some perceive a discrepancy in the level of patient interaction and satisfaction.

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.

Dr. Peterson and his assistants are very competent, well organized and efficient. They take time to explain what they are doing and why, and answer all of my questions. They obviously know what they are doing!
