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.

His error could have resulted in death
This doctor prescribed nearly 10 times the intended amount of an injectable medicine. He prescribed 2.4 mg on the initial dose but only intended to prescribe 0.25 mg. He gaslit me on numerous occasions.

Questionable advice
I have questions about Dr. Peterson's medical advice and knowledge. He took a tape measure out to measure my waist and came up with 38''....I'm pretty athletic, wear a size 34 pants, and I'm nowhere near a 38'.....I went home to measure myself and I was 34'' in the waist. Also, he diagnosed me as having stage 3A chronic kidney disease because my creatine level was elevated. Well, I had just completed a 30 day boot camp that was pretty intense. That can also cause an elevated creatine level. He didn't listen when I told him about my boot camp. I need to find a Dr who is a little older because I don't think he understands guys like me, athletic and in their 60s.

Didn't tell me he reported to my insurance a condition I don't feel I had. Not very good bedside manner. Kind of talked down to me like he knew more about my health than I did.

I switched PCP after I felt my last wasn't listening to me. I didn't feel heard. Dr. Peterson is very thorough and let's you talk and asks questions. It's refreshing. Your health should matter and he makes it feel important. I hope to keep going to him for years to come.
