Professional, diligent, thorough, honest while remaining caring.

Trust his judgement

I really like him. He doesn't beat around the bush. He really get to the point and tells you what's the option for me and writes it down for me to tell my husband.

Friendly, listens well. Excellent surgeon - 2 surgeries done by him. Glad he comes to Yankton monthly.

Made my day by telling me a possible meniscus tear instead of knee replacement. I like that we go slowly instead of jumping into surgery

Professional, proactive caregiver.

Would have seen or talked about the xray more or look at it.

Have always like Dr. Peterson and his staff. Nothing but good things on my end.

Great explanation and knowledge of my medical situation, recommended a thorough plan with confidence.

Dr Peterson is wonderful!

Dr Peterson did a great job. I appreciate Doctor's Explanation Of His work.

Awesome surgeon and great person. Dr. Erik fish on.

Dr Peterson was very thorough and took time to visit with us about all options. He even googled where we were from to see what was available closer to our home so we didn’t have to drive 4 hours to get anything done!! Even worked my husband n for a consultation and X-ray for his shoulder troubles!!! Highly, highly recommend!! He gets it!!!

I appreciate his "let's figure this out" attitude. I have had pain for so long and have been to soooo many docs I am at least hopeful for answers and a plan for a better quality of life for me

Super good doctor. Upfront but listens to what you have to say.

Dr. Peterson has done 4 surgeries between my husband and myself. We wouldn't go to anyone else. One of the nicest and most knowledgeable Doctors we know. His PA, Ryan, is excellent as well. Top team here. They have a solid 10/10!!

He’s amazing! Personable! Knowledgeable!! He listens! He’s compassionate! I can’t say enough good things about him!

Very personable. Explained findings from x-rays and options going forward thoroughly. Gave me cortisone shots in both knees. Got me setup with PT. Compassionate and courteous.

Dr. Peterson Thoroughly explained his assessment of my knee and after my agreement on his recommended course of action, he was able immediately take time to resolve my current issue.

Great doctor! Highly recommend.

Dr. Peterson seemed off today, did not remember that I was already a patient of his that he had performed a hip surgery on back in Nov of 22. I feel like I took a step back in my care. The care team said I would receive a follow up call on Monday and as of this time I have not received a call.

He was good

Professional and courteous. Very thorough with good bedside manner.

Very knowledgeable and spends time with patients. Explains things well and very personable

Very satisfied with Dr. Petersen.

It’s great to have options to try without immediately jumping towards surgical procedure!

Very polite and knowledgeable Dr. I felt at ease and relaxed during my appointment.

Good communicator

I am very happy with Dr Peterson he takes time to tell you everything you need to know and is very pleasant

Dr Peterson took so much time to answer my questions in regards to my upcoming surgery where I have a good understanding of what to expect. The patience he gave me was truly appreciated.

I appreciated Dr. Peterson spending time explaining my situation, giving me options and giving me hope that there are tools to help. I would highly recommend Dr. Peterson and his team.

I did not see Dr Peterson. Dr Ryan was very friendly and made me comfortable and gave me good information and answered my questions

Explains everything in great detail. Spends the time needed with the patient. Is very accommodating and goes above and beyond to help you.

Dr. Peterson always listens to my issues & addresses them. He is is very easy to talk to provides excellent care

I give Doctor Peterson the highest rating. Everyone says my recovery was fast and my proformance at work is very good. He is very professional and the best at what he does. My wife had surgery on her arm years ago after a fall. She hasn't had any trouble with it. She recommended him to me. We think he is the best!!!!

I definitely felt that he knew what he was talking about. At times he almost seemed distracted when seeing me.

He listens to you and is very caring. He works to get to the bottom of the problem and not just leaves you hanging

Do not feel that he takes enough time explaining and does not ask any questions from patience.

Dr. Peterson is the best!! He’s always spends time explaining all issues with my care. He is just what I expect in a physician!

Always extremely nice and very helpful. I love how him and Ryan are trying to help me figure out my pain.

Dr. Peterson has performed surgery on my mother in the past and now it is my time for a knee replacement. I am so fortunate to have a physician that is an expert in his field and shows compassion to his patients. As a nurse who worked rehab for many years, I can honestly say I am looking forward to getting this done because I know I have the BEST Ortho team!!

Terrific Doctor. He listens and I'm so happy he became my Dr years ago. I've recommended him to many people and will continue to do so. He's a great surgeon and doesn't make you feel like you're wasting his time like some other Drs do.

Dr. Peterson listens and cares. He doesn’t rush and is a good doctor and explains the process of surgery and healing. I appreciate him and his staff.

Friendly and professional.

He has been my surgeon for 3 repairs and a knee replacement. I would recommend him and his PA Ryan for your orthopedic needs

I've seen Dr Peterson off and on ( more on lately) since the Core days. Trust him completely with my care.

Awesome physician, caring and passionate explains things very well

He was patient and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. I felt he considered my suggestions and wasn't dismissive of my input. I didn't feel rushed or like I was just another fee.

Erik was informative, answered all my questions. He explained everything. I’m mean it was a bit of a shock to find out I needed a hip replacement when I was under the impression that I just had a tear in there.

Definitely tell he wants to improve my quality of life

Dr. Peterson is amazing! He is knowledgeable respectful, kind and considerate. He is a good listener with excellent solutions and suggestions.

Dr. Peterson is a phenomenal orthopedic surgeon, I have worked with him over the past year and would recommend him to family & friends.

I ended up seeing Ryan because Peterso wasnt there yet. Which is fine. I know both of them well enough I was 10000% ok seeing Ryan.

Top notch care and results. I have had rotator cuff/bicep surgery and both shoulders injected for arthritis. Remarkable results!!! He is personable, experienced, and an excellent surgeon! Absolutely 5 stars!

He’s just the best. Helped me through a very difficult year and always was there for me. He answers all my questions and concerns. Wouldn’t have anyone else. And my knee is doing great!

I actually saw Ryan today and he gets 5 stars!!! Very nice and shows empathy!! If I’ve had an issue he went the extra distance to resolve it. Thank you!!

We actually seen Ryan his PA

Very good and always let’s you know what is being done

Saw his PA.

Poor bedside manner. Not interested in my symptoms, spoke of his own issues and how he was medicated. I felt uneasy with the knowledge or lack of knowledge he shared.

Liked him

PA Rick was wonderful! Never saw Dr Peterson.

Very courteous and knowledgeable

Good visit,very helpful.

Very good Dr. Takes time to any questions and explain

Very pleasant and knowledgeable Doctor.

He answered my questions, talked me through the surgery. Feel very comfortable with him.

Very nice. Great communication.

Good Dr

Consulted on pain. Spent less than 5 minutes in room, ordered further testing, never addressed what I could do in the meantime to help with pain ie ice, meds, rest, heat, etc- maybe was in hurry but I felt unheard.

Listens very well to what you want

Thank you so much my knees feel better.

Always great at explaining what is going on

Patient, thorough, explained my injury and the stem cell procedure well. We left confident he will relieve our pain.

Very much appreciated and always has time to explain! Dr has done wonderful job of fixing my wife and I up

First consulting visit went well, will now wait on outcome,

He stays involved, even when he had to refer me to another doctor. Doesn’t seem offended and partners well for the good of my health

Very attentive and explained everything to me in terms I understood.

Horrible visit. Hour wait. Then when finally in the room for the requested joint injection was told they needed prior pre-authorization which is not correct per my insurance company.

Dr. Peterson listens and really cares.

Best doctor/surgeon!!!
