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.

Very Pleased!
I recently underwent inguinal hernia repair with Dr. Pedersen. He explained the procedure thoroughly prior to the surgery. Every thing went very well. Dr. Pedersen is very personable and took as much time as needed to explain everything to me prior to the surgery and in my post-op meeting. His staff (Office scheduler and Nurse) are very friendly and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Pedersen.

Dr. Pedersen is an excellent surgeon. He was going to remove a questionable polyp from my colon and decided to remove approximate 10 inches of my colon, which probably saved my life, since the polyp was determined to be cancerous, but with no lymph node involvement. The scar is negligible and my recovery was really quick. I highly recommend this doctor.
