Dr. Peterson was amazing-he made me feel so comfortable about talking to him about my issue. He was so thorough about everything, the questions I asked, the things I discussed with him. He even helped me with my sinus problem that no one else would do. He told me who to go to that would help me. I have been asking that question for years from my provider. My husband really wants to see him too about issues with his ears. He was not satisfied with the results from the PA (I think) that he saw. Dr. Peterson is one of the best doctors I have everr had!

Dr. Peterson took the time to explain what has caused my hearing loss in a way I could actually understand. He gave me a clear plan to monitor it more closely going forward. After decades of wondering why, I finally felt like someone was giving me real answers. I truly appreciated the time, compassion, and care he showed throughout my visit.

I got in before my appointment and was out a half hour before my appointment.

This visit was a consult from an MRI. It was my first time with Dr. Peterson. He was very welcoming and put my mind at ease. I definitely would recommend him to anyone.

Every part of my visit experience was wonderful. From the check-in person who was floating there for the day to help out, to the MA who roomed me who was also working with a different provider than usual and was absolutely wonderful, to Dr. Peterson being fantastic - was very thorough and explained everything in a way I could easily understand... Appreciate everybody and the service and care they delivered to me at this visit!

Dr Peterson is a very good doctor. He spent lots of time with me and thoroughly presented all of the options. I highly recommend him. Also, everything was on time, and Dr. Peterson came into the exam room shortly after sitting down.

And we thought we had it in Alaska, but actually we had it downtown. And even though we went to the wrong place, they called and Dr. Peterson said we could come downtown and he would see us, and he did, and he took care of us, and we were really appreciative of that. So he's just a wonderful doctor. Thank you so much.

Dr. Luke thoroughly explained all the details of why I am not a candidate for Inspire. Throughout his explanation he checked to see if I had questions. We also talked about options in going forward. I was very satisfied with my visit and have a plan going forward.
