Dr. Peterson was exceptionally helpful in explaining a partial knee replacement and the injection alternative. I opted for the injection and have been delighted with the outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Peterson and his practice.

He appears to be a good doctor with good manners but I felt he was rushing so much. He didn't take any time to explain to me my problem and what to do in the future to avoid having it. He didn't discuss any exercises that I can do at home or how long it will take to recover.

I had a very good experience with Dr. Peterson and the hold entire staff. I went there for my right knee and mentioned I was also having problem with my left knee . And Dr. Peterson and staff took care off both knees. I was grateful that I didn't have too schedule another appointment for my left knee.

He was in the room with me for 4 minutes total. He did not show me my xrays just said some mild arthritis, handed me a PT script and left. I do not think my concerns were addressed at all
