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.

I went in to the office for a consultation 2 months ago. Dr. Peterson told me to get my x rays and surgical report from a previous podiatrist and he would look them over and call me back once reviewed. I immediately got my records to Dr. Peterson over a month and half ago and proceeded to call the office weekly asking if he got a chance to review my records. Each time, I was told by office staff that he would give me a call back. Never did I get a call and when I went to the office to get my records they said they were in his briefcase and he wasn't there. When I became angry they suddenly found them. The office staff is RUDE as well. Dr. Peterson obviously doesn't care much abut his patients. Sad commentary on him.

Great experience. He was terrific with my mom, courteous to me and the staff was friendly and helpful. Not enough stars to rate our overall experience. He was so thorough and spent extra time with us. Can't say enough positive things.

Good doctor, but very unhappy with office staff. Unnecessarily rude, uncaring, and inconsiderate.

Very nice doctor. Took time to thoroughly explain my son's condition to both of us. He was very helpful and I felt that I could trust his diagnosis and treatment recommendations. The staff was friendly and helpful as well.
