Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
It's been 6 months since Dr. Peterson diagnosed my foot drop problem and corrected it with a 20 minute surgery. The VA said I was going to lose my leg below the knee, Dr. Peterson was second opinion and said it wasn't a big deal (my words). Man made it look simple and broke it down Barney style for me. Zero pain medication needed he's an expert in this craft. Zero pain afterwards.From zombie limping (I refused a cane) to now 2 miles in 13 minutes, lost lots of fat and look like a man again, I can't thank Dr. Peterson enough for this. Dr. Peterson took special time to identify, explain, and fix my problem. It was a peroneal compression just below the fibular head if I understand properly.Went from looking at amputation below the knee (VA diagnosis) to running and hiking mountains again, I'll tackle everything today because Dr. Peterson has allowed me to. God bless you, God bless your wife and kids sir.Can't say enough nice things about this beautiful man.
