Dr. Ryan Carl Petering, MD

He has been my primary care physician for over 3 years. He always gives me options and isn’t afraid to tell me the truth I may not want to hear. He’s compassionate and caring; professional and competent. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor to oversee my care.

I saw him yesterday for the first time and was impressed with how thorough he was. Very encouraged.

I have been seeing Dr. Petering for several years. He is very interested in my health, asks good questions and takes his time to clearly answer in lay terms. I am very pleased to have him as my personal care physician.

The degree to which he let his negative thoughts and opinions about me fly is really something else. Wasted a bunch of time admonishing me. Definitely not one to let you think your questions are worth listening to or responding to thoughtfully. They’re clearly not. Came in, did a drive-by, and whisked on out the door. He seems like a person who finds humans truly exasperating and idiotic, making me wonder why he chose his profession. It honestly seemed like he came ready to spar, rather than provide care or reassurance. Definitely not an experience I’ve had with a doctor before. And this is before we talk about the quality of his medical care. Run, don’t walk away from this guy.

The other negative comments here are completely accurate. Not reccomended.

Although I'm usually more comfortable with older doctors, I find myself surprised by how much I trust Dr. Petering. A gentle doctor, with the knowledge to find what works best for you and your issues. He's a busy Dr. so expect a wait sometimes. But all and all staff and Doc all get stars!

If I wanted to be verbally attacked, abused, and talked to condescendingly, I would still be married, not visiting my doctor. If you are missing that kind of relationship, then go see him. Bring a large checkbook for frequent unnecessary tests.

Dr. Petering was prompt, courteous, thorough & respectful. I was a new patient that needed to be seen quickly due to a bike accident. He listened well & let me decide ultimately which course of action to take after discussing the options. I will see him again even though he is not that close by to where I live. I would definitely recommend him.

If you need more than a band-aid, then look elsewhere. Cannot multi-task, cannot empathize, is arrogant for no apparent reason. Thinks the world of himself, though...don't know why.
