*Dr. Peterson has been my go to sports/ortho dr. through several injuries. I liked that he lays out the options and doesn't push for surgery - but rather provides it as an option. I also like how he clearly lays out the options and is up front about what treatments will work best and what is worth trying. The entire staff is friendly & professional. i definitely love that they encouraged me to continue to be active & pursue the activities I love!
