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 to Dr. Pedersen in Milwaukee for years after my concerns were dismissed by others. She was always responsive and got to the bottom of every concern I had. I am glad to have found her new practice location and will make an appointment now.

Worth a long drive!
I formerly saw Dr. Pederson at her Milwaukee location. After experiencing significant problems which my replacement doctor dismissed, I tracked her down and saw her. She found that my concerns were valid. If you want a doctor who is skilled, caring and who listens to you, see Dr. Pederson. Nice office and staff, too.

Dr Pederson is extremely kind, patient and informative. She has diligently protected my eyesight since my surgery to repair a hole in retina of my right eye. I am honored to be able to have her as my eye doctor.

Dr. Pedersen is so thorough, so honest yet reassuring. She is a brilliant listener who never rushes me, though I ask questions and ask for precise details. I recommend her whenever I can. Her knowledge of all the various tests and when they might be timely to do is also outstanding. I’m glad she is younger than me and will last my lifetime. I’d hate to have to find anyone else. 10,0000 stars of affirmation for her.
