Dr. Peterson was very professional and knowledgeable. He took a lot of time during the office visit, going over my history and examining my shoulder, then coming up with a treatment plan. I appreciate his approach to patient care and I feel I am much better off having been in to see him. His office staff is wonderful!

Dr Peterson is not only a great surgeon. He is friendly and a great listener. My husband and I have been his patients for more than a decade. We think he is the best. His surgical skill is exceptional as is his interpersonal skills. We are lucky people to have been his patients.
