Dr. Peterson was absolutely the best surgeon for my needs. He was very understanding of my quality of life needs and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. His team was fantastic and kept in contact often during the lead up to surgery date. Prior to meeting with Dr. Peterson, I had encountered other surgeons who weren't as willing to work with me, but Dr. Peterson quickly understood how much my hip pain was impacting my life and took the time to investigate multiple possibilities, versus simply providing a textbook answer. Great guy, I'd feel comfortable going to him at any time.

Dr. Peterson and team are very professional and very thorough. The procedure he is going to do was fully explained to me as well as recovery. The time for recovery is up to me. The better I follow the instructions given to me the faster my recover will be.I have things I want to do.

I fell down In the middle of the night, using my crutches for another surgery on my ankle I broke my wrist and my husband brought me to Fairview hospital in Wyoming, MN. Everyone was pleasant and definitely showed that they cared. Dr Peterson came to see me in the morning and had me in surgery to fix my wrist within an hour. Him and his team were great! I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care!
