Dr. Peterson (and Ryan) are great. In my 30+ years in the medical field I have worked with many providers and these two guys are top notch. Caring, patient, and collaborative to listen to their patients and actually solve problems. So grateful for them.

We really appreciate that he wasn’t quick to give a shot or do scope work, but is promoting self-healing and giving the body more time (even if it’s going slower than we want.)
