I was a patient of dr. peterson's before he went into palliative care and was in general family medicine. He is an amazing person: smart, practical, interested, empathetic, transparent/honest. It is clear that he likes all people he interacts with. He's also got a good sense of humor and likes to talk about anything the patient is interested in talking about. He could be trusted to give real advice on referrals in an ethical and honest way.

The BEST doctor I have had in a very long time! He listens, gives the patient a chance to explain, evaluates and is caring and supportive. Would highly recommend. I had this doctor as my primary care and when he went into palliative care, he then became my palliative care doctor.
