This was a second opinion for my shoulder that I have already had surgery on at a different place. The first surgeon basically did surgery and then when I had issue told me that was it. Today I felt seen and listened to and have hope that something can be done to help me get relief from the constant pain I have been in. I am so pleased with how this appointment and every single person I had any interaction with was absolutely amazing!!

Dr. Todd Peterson is the best. I am so glad a friend recommended him to me! He takes his time and listens to me and answers my questions in my terms! His PA Logan and nurse Krista are also so helpful and caring. He is operating on me in a couple of weeks and I am perfectly at ease with him and Logan doing the procedure!

Dr. Todd Peterson is an amazing surgeon. He completed two full knee replacements for my elderly dad. He was very thorough through the entire process and makes patients and families feel at ease with the procedure. Our family would highly recommend him and appreciated his great work!
