    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.

    Dr. Peterson is a very experienced surgeon who was well acquainted with my case but also a "down to earth" M.D.

    We were discouraged that it took 3 months to get an appointment which meant our daughter wasn't supposed to swim the whole summer unless it was in a chlorinated pool. Also, it's hard to understand why she can't be seen when the problem is occurring instead of 3 months later when there is an opening. We were thankful that Dr. Peterson agreed to see cover for another doctor that we were originally supposed to see that had a family emergency and needed to be gone at the last minute; otherwise, who knows how much longer we would have had to wait to be seen. We were very impressed with Dr. Peterson. He made us feel very comfortable. He answered our questions and gave us advice. We will definitely plan to see him if needed in the future.

    Dr. Peterson offered potential resoutions to the rash that occcurred due to the adhesive covering from surgery on 7/24/25. He's a kind man with a great sense of humor and is very professional nonetheless.

    I was extremely happy with everything. I was put at ease. I was a nervous wreck about what I was possibly facing and Dr. Peterson put me very much at ease and was just as friendly and nice as he could be. If we had questions, he was there to answer and I felt very encouraged that He cared and was doing the best things possible for me. And I would definitely see him again for anything. He was very kind, very kind and gentle.
