Took the time to review previous MRI. Found a mistake that was poorly reviewed by another radiologist. Explained my pain is not in my head but needing surgery for repair.

My visit today February 3, 2026 was excellent. Dr. Peterson is very thorough in explaining everything. Explaining so I understand the surgery made me feel not scared! Went through the whole process from surgery to recovery. I was very pleased. Thank you Dr. Peterson!
