He is very conscientious and thorough. When I saw him about pain in my knee he was able to help me recover without needing surgery.

I can not recommend this doctor.. He has messed up my ACL and caused nerve damage to my knee. All on my video tape that arrived to my home, showing nurses screaming during my surgery and Dr. Peterson yelling " Shut that da_n camera Off". After my surgery and having a leg... charcoal black from toe to thigh , I asked Dr. Peterson was this normal for an arthroscopic ACL surgery? He stated there were no problems and all went fine? I have constant pain and a neuroma in my knee.

If you want your knee done and done right this is the Doctor you go to.
Dr. Peterson did my knee in November 2014 and every thing came out excellent. Just as he said it would.

Dr Peterson, had me take an MRI and X rays. He decline to look at my x rays until the MRI was done. I did both MRI and X-Rays the same day as the appointment. Dr Peterson gave he his word he would call me in couple of days with the result/ diagnosis and treatment plan. He never called. I called his nurse 3 times she did not return my calls. I invested time and money for no diagnosis, no results and no treatment plan.

What can I say, this is the best doctor I've ever seen. Repaired my ACL and it is as good as new. Great at counseling, best at surgery -- he's a rock star in knee surgery.

Dr. Peterson was very helpful in preliminary appointments but unfortunately I am very dissatisfied with the service of Providence Medical Center and this doctor.I showed up on the day of my surgery just as I was told and was unfortunately informed that my surgery was cancelled. The surgery had been cancelled a week before, but I didn't receive one phone call telling me of this. I think it was very unprofessional. Also, if you're looking for your medical records, good luck, you won't get them until you call them everyday for two weeks, they'll finally get annoyed enough and hand them over.

Dr. Peterson is my life saver! After seeing a few orthopedics about my knee, he told me straight up what needs to happen. I had reconstructive knee surgery at 18 years old and I was fully recovered in less then a year. He was always kind, but would tell you what you needed to do. He gave me many options and always told me to call anytime with questions. He even fit me in one day when I was paranoid about hitting me knee again. This is the only doctor I trust with my knee.

Best Orthopedic doc on the planet. He saved my knee from a nasty infection from a previous surgery, did half dozen more scopes over the years to my basketball thrashed joint, then gave me a new lease on my athletic aspirations with a total knee at age 45. He's head and shoulders above his peers in his personal approach, personal touch, caring and nurturing nature. Not just a fine doctor - but a fine human being, husband and father as well.

Dr. Peterson is interested in helping each patient return to full, no-pain-health and activity. He's an intelligent perfectionist, a kind, gentle, man who readily smiles and jokes with patients. A person just feels good being in his presence! He's a doc who's "there for you"; he has said, "Call me any time if you have a question of concern." His staff is excellent in that they are professional and caring.
