Dr. Douglas Peterson, MD

My mother saw Dr Peterson after a presumed gallbladder attack in August...he did nothing to treat her, nothing. He wasn’t interested in getting her diagnosed. Said she must be an alcoholic (she doesn’t drink). She had a lap choli in 2014. He says “impossible.” Now, 2.5 months later, 10 lbs lighter from not being able to eat much...and she has gall stones in her bile duct with surgery tomorrow. She suffered 3 separate gallbladder attacks, all because Dr Peterson refused to follow up. Shame on him. I would never recommend him for treatment.

efficient, pleasant and clear

A consistent and reliable professional, caring, understanding, patient, and knowledgeable. He has my complete trust.

I cannot recommend him. He is very harsh and really acted like he didn't care. His brashness really got me and I will not return.

I had an 8:20 appointment for a consultation, but was not seen until 8:55. When Dr. Peterson came in, he appeared flustered and rushed, and that did not make me feel very comfortable that he would have, or make, the time to discuss my concerns. Also, the counter top in the exam room is completely covered with pamphlets and coupons for pills, which was off putting as well, making for a very poor first impression of this office. Not a very good first impression. Looking elsewhere for a GI doc.

The minute I entered Dr Peterson's office, I knew I was in a professional and humanistic environment. The office staff was very helpful and friendly. The physician saw me on time, was a good listener, communicator, and I appreciated his compassion, empathy, and respect for my situation and concerns. Dr Peterson understood my situation and soon presented solutions, that I appreciated. After the physical exam and follow up plans, I was confident and very satisfied with the visit.

Had to go in for a routine Colonoscopy scheduled with Dr. Peterson (at Adobe Gastroenterology). The doctor and all the staff were great ! (Very Professional, friendly and great attitudes, helpful). They have their whole process, from check in to release down to a smooth process. The whole time took about 45 minutes. While nobody looks forward to a Colonoscopy Procedure, this was a very good experience.

I like Dr. Peterson very much. But I cannot recommend him because of his staff. They continue to bill me incorrectly, insisting the insurance made mistake. They say they will phone insurance to rectify, then I don't hear anything for 2 more months when I get another bill. Then we start over. Now they are threatening collections. All they need to do is resubmit the claim with the correct coding. VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE!
