Dr. Petersen is one of only a small group of surgeons nationwide willing and able to remove a mesh hernia patch. The patch had migrated far away from the original hernia site and was starting to obstruct the bowels and cause who knows what other potential damage. He and his staff were efficient, skilled and responsive. We drove 800 miles to see him and would have driven many, many more to get these sucessful results. We appreciated his competence and straight-forward, down-to-business manner. If you are looking to build your social circle, keep looking - but if you need a highly-skilled, highly-regarded surgeon that gets right on task and takes care of you - he's your man.

Dr Petersen solved a serious problem for me. I had a previous hernia repair that reoccured. It was a laproscopic repair by another surgeon, and I was in extreme discomfort. Dr. Petersen repaired my problem elimated the pain and I feel better that ever. He takes his time, explains everything carefully and was always available to answer my questions and concerns. He is a rarity today , a caring totally professional doctor.

I had been to several surgeons in Las Vegas and continued to get no answers and help. I met Dr. Petersen and he not only was able to figure out what was wrong with me but, did my surgery and I have never felt better. Dr. Petersen is wonderful and I would without a doubt encourage anyone to see him. He has a compassionate bedside manner and a genuine concern and desire to help his patients. This was not only my opinion but many of the other patients in the lobby I talked with felt the same way. It was a blessing that I found Dr. Petersen

I found this doctor to be INCOMPETENT, inhumane, cold, heartless and rude. Dr. Peterson left me in level 10 pain for over eight hours, with NO PAIN RELIEF, at the hospital while waiting for a colonoscopy which he then changed his mind and did not perform. I was admitted with acute abdomen and was scheduled for surgery which he then abruptly cancelled with no explanation and no pain prescription. His solution was to inject me with a strong estrogen shot without checking my blood levels first. This shot is still causing me serious problems. I had presented with a long history of abdominal adhesions and partial bowel obstruction and ended up having adhesions removed by another surgeon. Peterson billed my insurance company top dollar and is still trying to collect from me. STAY AWAY from this one!!!

I had my gallbladder removed by Dr Peterson... I thought he was great... but he works so much that he was always in surgery when i called in pain.... I was told by his sister that works in the office to "tuff it out til tomorrow" I was really upset... i had like 6 holes in my stomach and i was in pain, yet i was told to "tuff it out" I would deff say he is great at what he does but i didnt apperciate hearing that when i was calling in pain.

Dr. Petersen and his staff (office personnel, surgical nurse, anaesthesiologist...) are outstanding. I don't think he ever takes a day off. He visited me in the ER and every single day that I was in the hospital. He advocated for me with the hospital to get me in quicker. He removed my gallbladder and the following month had to do an open bile duct surgery due to a blocked duct. I would trust him to do surgery on me or my family. He responds pleasantly to questions and is very good at dealing with questions from family members too. He seems to not have a sense of humor, but does. He is a gifted surgeon and extremely knowlegable, yet good at explaining in procedures in a way anyone could understand. I feel blessed to have had him as my surgeon.

Dr. Petersen is well trained. That manifests itself in his careful, scientific, albiet highly humane approach to complicated medical issues. He is not hesitant to delve deeply into a problem,and seek help in finding the correct solution in order to solve a problem.

Dr. Petersen was willing to try and help me when other surgeons told me there was nothing that they could do for me.
