I have been a patient of Dr Petersen for 6 years. She is thorough, warm and supportive when I was faced with health issues. She followed up after a procedure I had recently and I appreciate her care.

Nancy Petersen was very helpful when I was having a problem with my period. She had put the Mirana in 2014 . I have it in for five years. She was very gentle when she had put the IUD in my vagina. I would recommend her to any women that has been having a gynecologist problem.

I have been with Dr. Petersen for many years, many issues and many surgeries. i don't think I would have made it through if she was not such a caring and compassionate person. I adore her.

For over 20 years I have been a patient of Dr. Petersen's. Some of that time I lived out of state and I would travel back to see her. She is the best and I follow her when she changes hospital affiliatioans because I trust my health to her.
