I am new to this practice. The doctor spent alot of time with me and I never felt rushed. I made this appointment because I was sick and alot of my friends recommended him to me. I can honestly say that I am glad they did and will continue to use him as my family physician. The staff was friendly.

Very kind, takes his time with me, asked me lots of questions, speaks softly and well, knows my ob/gyn doctor, dresses very well, handsome, very clean garage/ office, seems sad and angry about ObamaCare, would never ever use him again though.

Petersel is run of the mill. Dime a dozen. Initially liked his bedside manner but everything was bull. Spends too much time with his wife decorating the office with nonsensical crap depending on the time of year. Should spend some time reading up on his profession. His wife knows a lot about cruises. Petersel knows a lot about cruises. Not a lot about medicine. Wife talks about how wonderful she is when she is in a good mood. Stay away.

Doctor is exceptionally caring and takes time with me. The entire is staff welcoming, with the exception of the office Manager. I believe she is the Dr. wife? She is rude and should be working at Motor Vehicles.

Dr. Petersel is a wonderful and caring physician. He takes the time to listen and is usually right on the mark.The downside of this office is his wife.She is abrupt and uncooperative with patients requests. Will insist two app'ts be made for two separate issues. (ie blood work and ekg) The rest of the staff is lovely.
