Dr. Peterson expressed compassion by sitting across from me and listening to my questions. I Immediately sensed she truly cared about me. She patiently waited for me to share my questions and concerns. She thoroughly answered my questions and asked me If I had additional questions or need more clarification. She provided significant details about all steps involved in the procedure I am considering. This was very helpful. I quickly developed great confidence in her ability to do the surgery and would highly recommend her to other patients.

I was so impressed with this physician. She took a lot of time to explain the various aspects of the proposed treatment. Did an excellent informed consent discussion (I am an attorney). Very professional and kind.
