Dr. Peterson is the reason I choose the U of U. Otherwise I would go someplace else.

I'd wait hours to see Dr Peterson if I had too. I think she's the best and usually very punctual. I think she may have found what has been pestering me for years. We'll find out on my upcoming ultrasound.

Dr. Peterson was very thorough, engaged, and asked more questions than many doctors I've seen. My problems have been complex and recalcitrant. She had me bring records and spent the time to look/read them all. I had a late day appointment (I suspect she worked me into her very busy schedule) so she had to input much of the inforamtion from CT scans, etc. but she did not make me feel rushed. She is coordinating with other physcians handling my care to ensure continuity and that I am getting the best care. Her coordinators had left the clinic for the day by the time I left and I had forgotten to ask the doctor about follow-up care. It's been diffcult trying to work through her clinic coordinators to get lab results and other information.

I am extremely impressed with Dr. Peterson. She is obviously passionate about the field she has chosen and gave me great confidence in her ability and desire to help mitigate my health problems.
