Normally, when I get a cortisone shot, it doesn't hurt for days afterwards. However, each time I get a cortisone shot with this provider, it hurts. So I'm not sure if her technique is wrong or inaccurate. I get cortisone shots in my shoulders, in my hips, my knees. But only with this provider, is each time that I see her, it still hurts.

I was pleased with the amount of concern the Dr. showed for my pain and discomfort. I felt less than heard by previous Dr.'s. This was a great relief after 5 years of worsening pain.

Caroline is a very no nonsense practitioner. She listens carefully,does what she needs to do and gave me options for care with very good explanations as to possible outcomes. She was sensitive to my needs in responding to my choice of care. I liked her and would definitely go back to her. I felt she would help me with the best she had to offer. She is not one for small talk but I was ok with that. She didn't rush me, but had me in and out in a reasonable amount of time. I would defiantly recommend her.

I really like Caroline. She did seem rushed this time.

The visit seemed rushed and I didn't have time to ask all my questions. Provider could have made more eye contact with patient than looking at computer screen. The physical therapists who did cane training were great! It took 5 weeks before I could get in to see a specialist. I had to go to Urgent Care since I couldn't an appointment earlier. It would have helped to get cortisone shot earlier with pain.

Dr Caroline Peterson is so nice and caring ?
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/24/2025
Wish it didn't take two urgent care visits ($$$$$) for pain relief before I could finally see the ortho person who could do what needed to be done two urgent care visits ago. Hire more people and if you cannot entice them to LaX you will probably have to pay them more- maybe use your advertising budget that you don't need- we all know you are here- don't need to advertise. (Really?) just ONE place you could find money for more docs if you looked with an honest eye. But you probably won't....

Caroline Petersen is a very capable care provider. She assessed and diagnosed my problem quickly and provided options for mobility assistance, and her staff worked with me to determine which appliance would be the most suitable. She completed the worker's compensation forms I needed, in an efficient manner, and determined a plan of care we both agreed on. I felt she was looking out for my best interest. She is easy to communicate with.

Frustrating in that this same Dr comes to the Arcadia clinic once a month. Missed her by a couple days . Knee killing me! Had to leave work early! Shot I needed would've been covered up there but not in Ona!! Cost me 700$ for a shot that is performed by same doctor same organization but different locations!! And also the does-age was wrong the Arcadia doctor gave me according to the Onalaska doctor . Frustrating to say the least and expensive! Evan with my coverage!

Our experience was excellent. My son is extremely anxious and Caroline Peterson made him feel so comfortable during the visit. She took the time to explain things to him in a way he could understand and made him feel at ease the entire time. Thank you to all the staff who made this such a positive experience for my son!

Caroline Peterson treated me with care and straightforward answers and info about my concerns. She provided me with info about my upcoming surgery and offered a treatment to help me in the meantime. I am so grateful to be treated by her and will continue to be in contact with her via MyChart and future appointments.
