Dr. Patti L Peterson, MD

My brother whom I drive to appointment has had 4 scheduled dates for appointments. She cancels them everytime and rescheduled. Like other people's s schedules don't matter. His primary dr referred him and it's over 3 months now that she keeps changing his appointments. This is unacceptable!

Dr. Peterson figured out what was wrong with me on my first visit to her. She explained exact areas of my spine that were damaged without even knowing about my injuries at that point. I have 7 fractured vertebrae from years before and just by testing nerves in certain areas she knew exactly where the injuries were. She had zero medical records to go by at this point. She then was able to diagnose me with temporal lobe epilepsy because of a few symptoms I was having. She sent me for and EEG and sure enough that is what it is. Dr. Peterson is thorough, caring, and an excellent doctor. She most definatly puts her patients and their health first and foremost.

Dr. Patti Peterson should stop claiming to specialize in psychiatry when she does not even. Nothing like lieing to people. Real professional doctor. Inaccurate in every way described

Dr. Patti Person IS NOT a psychiatrist in any way. So why is she stated herself online as one. How about providing current AND correct information. Very unhelpful

Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere, even if you have to go out of town. Dr. Peterson missed a diagnosis that 3 other doctors and a surgeon confirmed. Terry the receptionist gives out medical advice without consulting doctor, and the office is not patient friendly. I originally saw Dr. Peterson for another opinion. She said she saw no indication of the condition (cervical dystonia) I have--even though 3 other doctors and a surgeon had all diagnosed me with it. She suggested it was due to a viral infection but gave no additional information, nor did she suggest any possible treatments. I started going to Dickinson Neurology Associates as my main neurologist, and this time I requested Dr. Shein. They stuck me with Peterson again. 10 days before the appointment I sent in my paperwork, and they called me saying even though I have other insurance they can't see me because my injury was covered by workman's compensation, and they don't take that. Ok fine. I said I have several other… problems, one being pain in my leg. WITHOUT SPEAKING TO THE DOCTOR, the receptionist Terri said leg pain can be caused by cervical dystonia (work injury), so we still can't see you. I was infuriated. I have had c.d. for 7 years and my leg pain just started. This was very unprofessional and I decided I wanted nothing to do with this practice. It is Feb 10 and I have been waiting since November. Now I have to start all over again! Unfortunately this is the only neurologist within 100 miles. There was one other but the doctor retired. Dickinson Neurology Associates requires a referral from your P.C. doctor. My doctor sent the referral but DNA claimed they did not have it. My doctor told me DNA does not like ANYONE to call (not even the doctors office) to check on the status. They want you to wait for them to call you. After 3 weeks went by I called and they had no referral. Took another 3 weeks before I was scheduled, and my appointment was 6 weeks after that.

Dr Peterson has been my neurologist for 12 yrs and I trust her with my life. She spends time with me and covers all the bases. Very thorough and caring. Goes above and beyond and I can't praise her enough. Thanks for all the advice, Doc!!! You are by far my favorite physician.

Dr. Peterson saved my life.

Expert and caring!
