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.

Dr. Peterson treated my mom rudely and dismissed her and told her that since she was a long time smoker that her kidney and lung problems were her fault and that he wasn't going to treat her. He said he was "done with her". I stepped in and said should I take her to the hospital ER and he said "do what you want, I am done with her". I was appalled and very upset and my mom was crying. I left angry and took her right to the ER. They treated her wonderful, did tests and found out she had C-Dif. infection, admitted her and treated her. I called Petersons office to complain and was hung up on. I never let my mom or dad go back to him again. The other Doctors that I took them to were so nice and kind and helped them to the end. I would not recommend Peterson to a dog. That was our experience. Sorry but it is true.

I think Dr. Peterson is the BEST! And I am so happy to have him for my doctor. I live in Libby but it is worth the trip over to have him do my yearly checkup. He is wonderful as you all are in that office.

Dr. Peterson displays a plaque with "The Hippocratic Oath". The words may be just words to some, but Dr. Peterson has proven to take them seriously: "I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science...with warmth, sympathy, and understanding... " In 8 years, there have been two incidences of a specialist recommending a course of treatment for me, while Dr. Peterson, not agreeing, did not hesitate to voice his concerns. In so doing, saved me much grief.
