Dr. Peters (and his staff), and Dr. Greis and his staff (for a shoulder operation last year) should be in the Orthopaedics Hall of Fame! Their service was very professional and very successful. Very happy that I decided to come to the U of U Orthopaedic Department for my surgeries.

UofU Patient
June 17, 2018
I sought, and identified, the best.

UofU Patient
June 10, 2018
Dr. Peters is very straight forward and I greatly appreciate that. He was super helpful with questions and was awesome at explaining everything

UofU Patient
June 09, 2018
Dr. Peters is outstanding, he shows a genuine concern for my well being and I am very fortunate that he is my surgeon. Can't say enough positive things about Dr. Peters and also Jill Erickson. I am truly blessed to have them taking care of me.

UofU Patient
June 06, 2018
The attending doctor didn't sit down or show any interest in staying long. It made me as the patient feel like he didn't want to be wasting time in the room as his body language showed he had little interest in explaining everything. This I can get past, it was more how he didn't look into the history of my notes (if he did he didn't say anything about it). I say this piece of feedback as for future patients.

UofU Patient
June 03, 2018
dr Peters is the best

UofU Patient
May 27, 2018
Dr. Peters carefully assessed my problem and fully explained it with good advice for healing.

UofU Patient
May 21, 2018
I had questions/comments but the provider was in a hurry. He did answer all my questions.

UofU Patient
May 19, 2018
I forgot to ask about medication, but I got a very timely response on the MyChart system

UofU Patient
April 08, 2018
NO PROBLEMS

UofU Patient
April 08, 2018
I researched the doctors there and chose Dr. Peters. Thankfully my PCP agreed to refer me to him. I was told that he was the best, I had made a good choice. Upon telling others about my choice, I was told he was a great doctor but didn't have a great bedside manner. I don't mind. Surgeons in general are kind of aloof. I am going to him for his expertise, not for him to be my friend. BUT...I found him friendly, not patronizing and was totally comfortable with him.

UofU Patient
March 31, 2018
doctor did not say anything about how swollen my knee was

UofU Patient
March 31, 2018
won't see anyone else but Dr. Peters.

UofU Patient
March 25, 2018
explained my condition and options. discussed surgery and what recovery would look like. very kind and I was not rushed.

UofU Patient
March 25, 2018
Dr. Peters, the resident, and the MA were excellent

UofU Patient
February 22, 2018
Dr. Peters and his fellows and interns have always been very professional, thorough and courteous. Good listeners willing to address any and all questions.

UofU Patient

Very good. The whole staff, that I spoke to, were great.

UofU Patient
February 11, 2018
we were impressed with the time the doctor took with us. he waited for us to process and then ask questions.

UofU Patient
December 28, 2017
Everything was fantastic. My only concern was that I haven't received any follow up instructions nor had my PT when I saw him a week after this appointment. I did see the fellow type in several instructions, but they were not available in the my chart email I finally received tonight. I do realize it is the holidays, but I feel I need some specific instructions on what I need to continue to do and what I don't need to do to make sure I am using this knee properly in the future.

UofU Patient
December 23, 2017
very good expierence

UofU Patient
December 21, 2017
Overall very well cared for

UofU Patient
December 15, 2017
considering I am putting myself in the surgeons hand, to meet once hardly gives me any confidence in him

UofU Patient
December 11, 2017
Dr. Peters has operated on many friends of mine, and my mother as well. All highly recommended he and his care team.

UofU Patient
December 04, 2017
My case is a difficult, complicated one requiring thorough diagnosis and treatment planning. Both the attending, and especially Dr. Peters took sufficient time to hear my symptoms, determine degree of difficulty, evaluate both patient and radiographs, and deliver a concise,definitive, and acceptable course of treatment.

UofU Patient
December 03, 2017
Dr. Chris Peters is just an incredible surgeon and a genuinely nice person who will take the time to explain and answer questions. I have had an amazing recovery from total knee replacement surgery due to his skill and diligence in making sure the device was perfect for my knee size and lifestyle. He never acts rushed when meeting with you. He is the best you could have.

UofU Patient
November 18, 2017
No Medications given. Dr. Peters could not have been any better. Also the other Dr. ( Bill) who examined me was terrific.

UofU Patient
November 13, 2017
Dr. Peters was very happy as was I that the necrosis in my kneecap was not any worse and that the fracture had actually healed. He gave me an RX for PT which I am doing my only concern is that i am still having a lot of pain and am hoping the PT will take the pain away but he didn't say whether that would help or not and if it doesn't what i would do next. That is my only concern he didn't address and I didn't think to ask before my appointment ended.

UofU Patient
November 12, 2017
Dr. Peters and his staff are top-notch. I feel lucky to be able to see such an excellent physician. His staff is excellent and personable

UofU Patient
November 09, 2017
Dr. Peters is the best, he has operated 3 times on me, have full trust in him.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
October 14, 2017
Although I was very impressed with everyone on the staff, I haven't had the surgery yet, so won't know if I would recommend this team yet.

UofU Patient
October 10, 2017
very qualified in his field and made me confident in my decision to have the needed operation

UofU Patient
September 26, 2017
Excellent Care! I have already recommended this staff to others!

UofU Patient
September 23, 2017
dont think provider completely understood my concerns. But as such, I'm thinking it was more my ignorance on the diagnosis or its relationship to my understanding of my injury

UofU Patient
September 19, 2017
Phenomenal. Dr. Peters listened attentively, actually performed a real physical exam unlike many doctors I have seen, and seeks to offer support in a simple, concise, and calm manner. Could not be more pleased.

UofU Patient
September 03, 2017
very professional excellent doctor covers all my concerns

UofU Patient

Dr. is right to point

UofU Patient
July 11, 2017
Love Dr. Peters!

UofU Patient
July 07, 2017
I was very amazed at the time he took to answer all my questions and how friendly and concerned he seemed. I was not expecting to have him spend the time he did with me and was very impressed with his knowledge and his professionalism.

UofU Patient
July 06, 2017
The entire staff were courteous, concerned and professional.

UofU Patient
June 18, 2017
seems like a good doctor

UofU Patient
June 10, 2017
Both Jill and Dr. Peters took the time to fully explain my particular situation and offer solutions.

UofU Patient

friendly, cordial, professional, informative experience

UofU Patient
June 03, 2017
I am extremely happyof the outcome of my surgery and recovery after surgery. I think Dr. Peters did an excellent job and I would definitely recommend him to anybody.

UofU Patient
May 28, 2017
DR Peters is excellent at what he does. I am very pleased to have found him in my research for my knee replacement

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
April 30, 2017
His tie rocked it! :-)

UofU Patient
April 29, 2017
Dr. Alexander and Dr. Peters gave me great relief when they explained what was wrong. I was so afraid I would need more surgery, and they reassured me that I would not and suggested PT and cordisone shots if that didn't work.

UofU Patient
April 24, 2017
Fellow was very informative and answered all questions in a way I could understand

UofU Patient
April 01, 2017
I saw a Dr. Grabel (spelling) prior to seeing Dr. Peters and Dr. Grabel examined my knee that was replaced and watched me walk as well. He was pleased with my progress thus far and it was a good visit. When Dr. Peters came into the room, I did ask him several questions and he seemed pleased also with the progress that I have made. I did get a copy of my x-rays for my file and was told that I would need a follow up in one year from the date of surgery. As questions arise I will contact the office of Dr. Peters to have them answered. Everyone that I have talked to on the phone or seen in the registration area is very polite and willing to help. It makes for a pleasant visit. I have complete confidence in Dr. Peters and have recommended him to others.

UofU Patient
March 12, 2017
dr. peters is fabulous. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

UofU Patient
March 10, 2017
SUPER, FANTASTIC

UofU Patient
March 04, 2017
Dr. Peters is about the medicine and his reputation for excellence precedes him, so he does not need to brag about himself or be puffed up. He's down to earth and has the knowledge and problem solving skills in order to gauge the situation and spent the appropriate amount of time with me. Got right to the point and acknowledged my ability to understand how we needed to proceed with my needs.

UofU Patient
February 23, 2017
I don"t know enough about my care provider to know how good he is.

UofU Patient
February 12, 2017
He was so late that I felt the time he spent with us was not enough to explain the procedure

UofU Patient
February 12, 2017
the staff was very good about getting time to see other doctors to help me save time and trips to the orthopedic center.

UofU Patient
February 10, 2017
it was a good informative appointment

UofU Patient
February 06, 2017
Physician seemed distracted tis time, perhaps due to some circumstance that caused appointments to be running about an hour and one-half behind schedule on that day. The overall experience was good, though, as expected.

UofU Patient
February 05, 2017
Already recommended a friend

UofU Patient
February 04, 2017
Dr Peters was very concerned about my knee replacement and my progress.

UofU Patient
January 29, 2017
good experience

UofU Patient
January 14, 2017
Dr Peters did my hip replacement 10 years ago and with wonderful results. I never considered seeing anyone else for my other hip.

UofU Patient
January 11, 2017
I would recommend dr. peters as I know he is an expert and is very friendly. I would warn who ever I recommend that it may be a wasted trip like mine was.

UofU Patient
December 29, 2016
Dr. Peters is a bit standoffish, but comes highly recommended for his abilities. I was concerned when his first words indicated he wanted to avoid the orthopedic procedure I was there to consult for. I wasn't sure if he was trying to be humorous, or serious, or just probing me to ensure that a hip replacement really was necessary for my situation. I'm still not sure. Dr. Wengert was a more straightforward during his interaction with me.

UofU Patient
December 11, 2016
I am very impressed with Dr Peters and resident Dr. Jacobson. Each spent time explaining my MRI and x-rays and the options I have before/instead of selecting surgery.

UofU Patient
December 06, 2016
Dr. Peters and his orthopedic team are the very best, I have the utmost confidence and treatment in all of the staff.

UofU Patient
November 06, 2016
Dr. Kim was very friendly as was Dr. Peters

UofU Patient
November 03, 2016
terrific!

UofU Patient
October 14, 2016
I constantly brag on y knee replacement and Dr. Peters. I cannot express enough about how I am pain free. The pain I had for several years was horrible as I tried to work as a police officer. Word cannot express how great I feel now!

UofU Patient
October 12, 2016
Over all it was an encouraging experience

UofU Patient
October 08, 2016
Both the Doctor and the Physician Assistant visited and each had a different role. Both were very courteous, helpful, and friendly. A superb experience.

UofU Patient
September 26, 2016
My left foot and ankle were really red and swollen. The attitude was that was not their expertise; the surgery site looked really good; but the doctor was not interested in helping me about the foot and ankle problem. I asked if compression stocking would help, and he eagerly said to try it for 2 weeks and then I could call to be recommended to another specialist. It seemed to me that the specialist should know about side effects to his surgery more.

UofU Patient
September 25, 2016
I would have liked to have been asked what kind of life style I expect to pursue with my new knee. Also, what were my options for different types of knees. I wished I knew what was placed in me and why. Also, a copy of the X-ray would have been nice.

UofU Patient
September 22, 2016
Both Jill Erickson and Dr. Peters were helpful and concerned. I did feel that Jill was upbeat,and optomistic, whereas Dr. Peters was a bit more blunt and realistic about possible upcoming surgery that I may eventually need. Both were thorough and knowledgeable and it was good to hear both points of view.

UofU Patient
September 08, 2016

I have always experienced outstanding service and care by Dr. Peters and the staff at the University orthopedic center. I highly recommend them for hip or knee problems.

UofU Patient
August 01, 2016
dr. is a serious man but shows experience and care

UofU Patient
July 31, 2016
Dr. Christopher Peters is an incredible orthopedic surgeon!!! I recommend him to any one who complains to me of orthopedic problems. The knee replacement I had in June was my second one, with the other knee being replaced only 16 months ago. Dr. Peters keeps up on the latest research and continues to improve his surgical practices! For example, for the recent surgery, he closed my incision using a "zipline" instead of staples, which was less invasive. He prescribed baby aspirin after the surgery for me instead of Warfarin because the research indicated aspirin was as effective as Warfarin with less dangerous side effects. I am a huge fan of Dr. Peters!!!!

UofU Patient
July 31, 2016
I would have liked more information about options and risks. I feel this hospital has their favored protocal and is reluctant to vary.

UofU Patient
July 28, 2016
Great Doctor and staff. I would always recommend him/them.

UofU Patient
July 25, 2016
I have seen 4 doctors for this problem and Dr. Peters was the most concise and thorough. He spent a lot of time with me and explained things clearly and thoughtfully.

UofU Patient
July 24, 2016
very nice to have a surgeon who is skilled at their profession

UofU Patient
July 18, 2016
Dr. Peters and his Ortho team are the best! I would recommend anyone considering a knee or joint replacement to make an appointment. they are caring, compassionate to your healthcare needs, and will provide you with the very best care.

UofU Patient
July 17, 2016
Our visit and the personnel were all impressive.

UofU Patient
July 16, 2016
The entire staff was extremely thorough, and complete with communication, follow-up appointments, and pre-surgery information. I'm totally impressed!

UofU Patient
July 12, 2016
very good

UofU Patient
July 11, 2016
The surgeon was very optimistic and didn't mention risks. His assistant did cover some risks but not all. I am waiting to go to joint academy to get more questions answered.

UofU Patient
June 28, 2016
I already have recommended Dr. Peters, and the University Orthopaedic clinic, to a few people.

UofU Patient
June 22, 2016
I felt very well informed and confident that I will be receiving excellent care from this provider in the future.

UofU Patient
June 14, 2016
I FELT BETTER AT YOUR FACILITY THAN ANY OTHER I"VE BEEN TOO!

UofU Patient
June 04, 2016
I can't comment on this last .? until after the operation

UofU Patient
May 31, 2016
I have called two different times with two different medication questions. Both calls were returned the same day and the PA and MA spent time to answer my questions completely. Very professional and at the same time, very pleasant in their demeanor. Dr. Peters seems to be a man of few words, but answered my questions when asked.

UofU Patient
May 27, 2016
Dr. Peters is a great ortho surgeon. My 1st knee replacement was very successful and I am excited to get the other knee replaced.

UofU Patient
May 19, 2016
The Dr, was fine it was the PA. or Na whatever the guy that spent the most time insulting me.

UofU Patient
May 15, 2016
dr. Peters and staff are superb in every way.

UofU Patient
May 12, 2016
Ugh

UofU Patient

All went very well

UofU Patient

Doctor and resident spent extra time sharing information and answering questions

UofU Patient
May 07, 2016
Dr Peters is a wonderful doc!

UofU Patient
May 01, 2016
Dr Peters and staff clearly explained the condition of my knee and the alternatives for the future. I was given options and time to consider the treatment that was best for my current and future lifestyle. I appreciated the forthright and clear conversation. There was never any undue pressure, just the opposite.

UofU Patient
April 27, 2016
Dr Peters is the best!

UofU Patient
April 24, 2016
Dr Peters is quite amazing. Surgery went excellent. I've had no complications and the pain has been minimal. I would recommend him to everyone needing a Total knee replacement. I've already started to spread the good word.

UofU Patient
April 24, 2016
awesome service

UofU Patient
April 22, 2016
Dr. Peters is an excellent physician. He comes highly recommended from a major university from the east.

UofU Patient
April 20, 2016
He was aware of what is happening with my current hip replacement and bone problems because of the information sent by my orthopaedic surgeon and additional x-rays he requested, as well as what I could explain about my current limitations. Dr. Peters didn't try to make things sound easy to repair, but explained what he could do to help my condition to improve and the amount of time to expect for recovery. No artificial bravado. I'd like to give him and the staff a PLUS Very Good - "6".

UofU Patient
April 19, 2016
Dr. Peters answered all my questions completely, while helping me to decide on a plan of action.

UofU Patient
April 17, 2016
I have seen Dr. Peters on other's recommendations, a former patient and my Primary Care Physician as well. He answered all my concerns and I did not feel rushed at all. I was treated with respect and caring and I felt very comfortable talking with his Assistant as well as with Dr. Peters. I had a good explanation of what would occur with a knee replacement and felt at ease getting the facts. I would recommend Dr. Peters and his staff you can be sure.

UofU Patient
April 12, 2016
good

UofU Patient
April 04, 2016
Asst., resident and surgeon were all excellent.

UofU Patient
April 04, 2016
I went in for a consult on a knee replacement and Dr Peters advised against it saying I wouldn't be happy with the outcome - I wish I had asked more questions about what exactly that meant in terms of pain, reduced mobility, etc. even though I understood the jist of it.

UofU Patient
March 30, 2016
We have been to a lot of doctors over the years but your staff are all the very best. We have never felt as though we were being rushed thru the appointment, have always had questions answered, even though I sometimes have some strange questions, and very comfortable with the whole staff. I have always felt real concern for my situation and comfort by everyone and since I'm old I can say that the doctors are all so handsome.

UofU Patient
March 27, 2016
It was as if I was the only patient there. The doctor was very personal & professional.

UofU Patient
March 12, 2016
Dr. Peters operated on my wife as well and did a superb job. He recognized us, explained my need for surgery completely, was both friendly and professional.

UofU Patient

I have had a great experience with 2 total hip replacement this last year. I appreciate their expertise.

UofU Patient
February 04, 2016
I received bad news about my knee and was quite stunned so I didn't ask anymore questions or ask to see both xrays to compare them. I would have been helpful for him to have both xrays to see the problem better

UofU Patient
February 03, 2016
All providers showed care and concern, were not rushed, provided lots of information and answered all questions.

UofU Patient
January 31, 2016
I 'be already recommended Dr Peters to some people who are looking to have knee replacement. My experience was very positive.

UofU Patient
January 27, 2016
Dr Peters is my miracle man. I can't say enough good things about him and his team!

UofU Patient
January 25, 2016
My experience with Dr. Peters and his staff has been outstanding. I had my first TKA one year ago and the second one 7 weeks later. This visit was for the one year follow-up for both. Every visit i have ever had to the UOC has been professional and most of all, so very welcoming and friendly. Dr. Peters skill is unparalleled in my opinion. I had very advanced OA and very deformed knees. He straightened them perfectly and my post-op course was so easy that it was hard to believe I had had major surgery. I cannot recommend him or his staff more highly.

UofU Patient
January 24, 2016
I could not have expected a better experience. BRAVO! to the entire team.

UofU Patient
January 23, 2016
Excellent care through the entire surgery/recovery process.

UofU Patient

The professionals I had dealings with were excellent, because I have had both shoulders and both knees replaced - Dr. Peters is the best experience I have had. My recovery was easier, faster and less discomfort.

Dr. Peters and his Staff are excellent. They are kind, caring and courteous. Dr. Peters did a wonderful job repairing my knee and getting me back to walking. I greatly appreciate the time he took to take care of me. Dr. Peters deserves a kudos and an at-ta boy all in one. I tell every one that asks me about the Dr. that worked on my knee, that there is NO ONE better than Dr. Peters.

UofU Patient
November 22, 2015
The Intake Nurse? (Josh) was excellent and he was very careful to be attentive and caring while asking questions and entering data on his computer and related well to us. Ditto Heather. Drs. Brothers and Peters were informative, calm and kind. I appreciated that while they're both really busy, they were not brusque.

the dr made me feel nervous about the surgery

UofU Patient

Dr Peters is one of the most professional and caring individuals

UofU Patient
September 06, 2015
I've have a great deal of respect and confidence in Dr. Peters. I recommend him to anyone I discuss joint problems with.

UofU Patient
September 06, 2015
I think the Dr was tired, I had a lot of questions but I felt he was not very interested and seemed to glaze over the answers, I decided it would be better to ask the rest of my questions on-line through MyChart. I was disappointed as we had waited over an hour and 1/2 to see him, but I understand some days can be difficult, so I am not upset, I was just disappointed as this has been a very difficult surgery for me with a lot of pain and things I don't understand. I tried to ask questions, but the DR seemed tired and uninterested so I didn't follow through with all of them (it was a long wait and was painful sitting in the waiting room). I just felt like a number. I know that is my fault, but at the time I was feeling a bit emotional and didn't want to show it. I am getting better answers about my condition from my physical therapist and pharmacist, which is a disappointment but I can live with it. In the past I have highly recommended Dr Peters to everyone I talk to (over 14 years worth). I am not sure now. There was never any apology from the DR about having to wait so long...that seemed uncaring. I was surprised. I have addressed my other concerns in an email in mychart. Thank you

UofU Patient
September 06, 2015
The intern and fellow answered all my questions regarding hip replacement, and Dr. Peters filled in info about my specific case.

UofU Patient

In a "nice" manner he called me fat and had a script in his head as to what to say to me about it. He "read" me the fat riot I've heard it for friends of mine before. If he was really interested in knowing what my weight actually was I'm sure he could have had me step on a scale. Instead he went with what number I could remember and more than likely added to that number. His tact was good and words were minimal and small. Not ever in my life have I had a doctor tell me this nor have I ever felt so insulted. He had no plan to solve this "issue" he expects my primary doctor to handle this "issue" and I can contact him later (which will not happen). He offered me no solution to my hip pain other than to lose weight. He suggested that my pain may not be due to my hip dysplasia but did not provide an alternative theory as to what would be causing my pain. He implied that other doctors were even stricter about their weight protocols and no one else would help me with my hip. I hqve had a long tenuos year and have fought to see Dr.Peters from the first day I heard his name. I have worked on my mental and physical problems in some high stress situations this year. One of which inculdes my poor self body image inculding my eating disorder in which I did not provide adequate amounts of food for my body. This has been the first year in which my body has had food everyday since the summer of 2005. My roommate and I expressed cornern to his staff about my PTSD and seemed to be ingorned o

I didn't feel like there was time to discuss my questions regarding the procedure, the recovery experience etc. I am grateful that there was a notebook provided that addressed some of my concerns about recovery and insurance coverage etc. These were not addressed at all in our interview with the doctor. I went from thinking I might need a total knee to scheduling surgery in one giant leap. I do think it is the right decision, since it is getting progressively hard to live with and ibuprofin and simming only temporarily relieve my discomfort to a limited degree.

UofU Patient
August 24, 2015
dr. peters didn't want to go into detail about my necrosis but wanted me to go out and do things and not worry about it. it's difficult to do that but I'm trusting he had good reason for saying that.

UofU Patient
August 11, 2015
Dr. knows about lack of concern regarding pain meds when I left after surgery

Care provider has to address the issue of wait times from scheduled time. He personally would not tolerate it!!

UofU Patient

Over all it was a good experience. Dr. Peters and the assistants were very friendly and amazed at my ability to recover from 2 knee surgeries so very well. Dr. Peters called me a "rock star".

UofU Patient
July 25, 2015
Dr Peters replaced my right knee 7 years ago and it was very successful. I would not consider any one else to replace the left one.

UofU Patient
July 13, 2015
Having not used this provider before I really don't know about #9 but I have heard very good comments about him.

UofU Patient
May 11, 2015
Dr. Peters has a terrific reputation and that counts for a lot in a first visit. I would have liked a little more dialogue/discussion about my particular situation if for nothing else than to feel a little more connection. I want to know he is a highly skilled surgeon, and I do. I also need to feel like he cares, even if it is only when I am in front of him. I know the responses are usually "who cares about bedside manner if he/she is a good surgeon. But there is more to the experience than just the surgery, especially when a person is coming out of a bad surgical experience, and one that has necessitated leaving home for the next one.

Having a very complicated situation, Dr. Christopher Peters has been a blessing in my life. His expertise and skills as an adult reconstruction specialist were put to the test and the results are awesome! The surgery was a success and I'm very thankful for my association with him.

UofU Patient
April 27, 2015
I voiced concern about several issues regarding pain, the failure of my right knee to improve, and appearance of lesion type skin deformities, and constant low spine-hip area pain and was told the same thing since my first knee surgery-watch it and give it time. I inquired about a possible manipulation for my right knee because it hasn't responded to therapy and was told it had to be done within 3 months of surgery. That was a real slap in my face considering at every appointment after right knee surgery, I have had problems with the right knee not responding. Something should have been done.

UofU Patient

From the beginning, I have been impressed with all of the staff of Dr. Peters.

Dr. Peters and his resident answered my questions and gave me praise for how well I was doing with the new joint. I had worked hard and to know that I had succeeded gave me encouragement to proceed with having the second knee done in another six weeks. I am very very happy with the results of my surgery!

Dr Peters, Jill Erickson and the whole team are so good. Dr Peter's nurse Heather Greenwall is so friendly and accommodating and she remembers every detail of you as a person. I am glad all of my surgeries are now completed but, in a way I wish I had more. The overall experience from start to finish has, twice now, been perfect.

After an x-ray it was determined that after my knee replacement surgery, there was a small chip of bone that had broken off of my knee cap. This was new news for both Dr. Peters and myself. I was given the opportunity to ask questions, but I really didn't know many to ask..as I was taken by surprise. I thought of those that I could, and they were answered, but I feel a better explanation could have been given. I would have liked to have seen my x-ray, and perhaps given a chance to reschedule another appointment at a later date (sooner than a year) or an opportunity to call and talk to Dr. Peters with questions I had at a later time. I feel Dr. Peters is very competent and very busy, however I felt I needed a little more discussion about the new finding. I haven't, as yet seen my appointment info on "My Chart" as that might be an opportunity for me to ask questions. p

I would have benefitted from a discussion of anterior vs posterior hip replacement surgeries. I do not know why posterior was selected for me...??

UofU Patient
January 19, 2015
Dr. Peters took time to answer all my questions and didn't rush me like some doctors do. He explained the pros and cons of surgery and exactly what my condition is in my x rays.

My visit was for annual follow up on total knee replacement...so there wasn't a lot to be said beyond cursory exam and a few questions. But Dr Peters and his staff were very courteous and glad Ithat my knee looked great with no post surgery problems.

My physician was excellent and the chief resident was amazingly helpful and kind, but the nurse assistant immediately after surgery receives the lowest marks I could possibly give.

We were so impressed with the level of knowledge and concern we experienced.

UofU Patient
July 12, 2014
Dr. Peters explained carefully in words and X-rays why I shouldn't get a knee replacement at this time. Viewing the X-ray while we talked was particularly effective in explaining his case.

UofU Patient
July 12, 2014
My whole hip replacement procedure was excellent from start to finish including all phone calls and visits. I recommend Dr. Peters even if no one asks.

I felt that the attentiveness of the entire staff - from front desk to the doctor to the surgery scheduler - was top notch. I felt like I was important to them and not just another patient.

UofU Patient
May 16, 2014
little wait time, I appreciate the binder of information needed, from prep, day of, day after, exercises etc. and the list of med equipment stores, home care, nursing homes. Thanks so much. I did have a few questions and the nurse called me right back. Amazing! Thank you, I feel great about the upcoming procedure.

UofU Patient
May 13, 2014
I'm always asked who did my knee surgeries because I have done so very well and I am happy to recommend Dr. Christopher Peters. I have out-shined all who have had the same procedure here in Pocatello. I think a lot has to do also with his follow-up instructions.

UofU Patient
May 12, 2014
My experience has only been positive. Therefore, I have recommended Dr. Peters to many friends who might possibly need his expertise.

UofU Patient
May 07, 2014
Showed empathy and concern about my situation and offered a solution. answered my questions and I feel very confident he is the right doctor to help me!

UofU Patient
May 01, 2014
I had a concern that if I asked for more pain control medications it would be looked upon as abuse. I explained that the physical therapy was causing a great deal of pain and I was taking more medication than intended. I was given the medication without feeling there was a stigma by the Nurse of Dr. Peters.

UofU Patient
April 12, 2014
I do not believe the orthopedic doctors in our area are skilled and knowledgeable about joint replacements and many of them should not be allowed to do them! I have referred lots of folks to Dr. Peters, as I believe he is the BEST!

UofU Patient
March 15, 2014
hard to communicate with. left as much as possible to staff really felt that he knew me only as a birthdate and right knee replacement

UofU Patient
February 18, 2014
Wel pleased with the clinic

UofU Patient
February 16, 2014
No reasonable explanation for my continued pain and poor outcome was given, despite my suggestions. No further testing, such as an MRI, was suggested to try to diagnose the problem. I felt very put off.

UofU Patient
February 01, 2014
Don't know that doctors ever spend enough time with you. Of course I was seen by three people during this visit, the nurse, Dr. Anderson who looked at my incision and Dr. Peters who told me everything looked great. I didn't have any questions so I guess there was no reason for them spending any more time with me.

UofU Patient
January 25, 2014
I was very happy with Doctors and staff

UofU Patient

while surgery seemed to help, I still have some residual concerns that were not completely resolved concerning prognosis and were not resolved in meeting with surgeon.

Dr. Peters and everyone else I talked to were all extremely polite and caring, and I have a very high opinion of each and every one of the people I dealt with. Dr. Peters was clear and concise on what needed to happen and how it was going to be done, and was also clear on what to expect after my surgery. I am completely comfortable with him performing the surgery, and am very happy that he will be the one doing it.

Dr. Peters and his Fellow were very supportive and clear in their information and provided great information and hope for a good recovery.

Dr. Peters is a surgeon I have recommended. I was very impressed with his skill, his caring and concern for me, and my recovery.

UofU Patient
June 21, 2013
In addition to the nurses, Dr. Patrick Mulkey, spent the most time with me before my first hip surgery. He was extremely careful and considerate in addressing my concerns and questions leading up to my first hip surgery. I was very anxious about the upcoming surgery. He did an excellent job of helping me understand the procedure, the prosthetic, the risks from the surgery and finally helped me feel comfortable that I was making an informed decision. Dr. Peters re-enforced Dr. Mulkey's comments and answers to my questions. I believed very strongly that I was in capable hands. I still think that way. The first surgery was so successful that I chose to have the left hip surgery as well as the right.

UofU Patient
June 12, 2013
My only difficulty in recommending Dr Peters is how far out his appointments are booked, and how long it can take in the waiting room. Other than that, I would absolutely recommend him!

Smooth and professional

I feel Extrememely confident in Dr. Peters. I almost felt like the staff was a little shocked that we were so prepared to schedule surgery and had our questions in mind. We knew surgery was the only option, so together we were all ready, I feel great about my son's future.

UofU Patient
April 22, 2013
It drives me crazy that people come into the exam room without introducing themselves! I feel like, who the heck are you and why are you asking me these questions? However, I often get a more detailed explanation of things from the (associate?) than I do from Dr. Peters. And with that explanation I also have received a slightly more positive prognosis. I would feel more confident if this was coming from Dr. Peters mouth.

UofU Patient
April 16, 2013
I left feeling very confident that Dr. Chris Peters and his staff had my concerns about my knee very clear and I could really depend on them and their professionalism to help find a solution.

UofU Patient
April 15, 2013
Dr Justin Haller was particularly helpful and spent a good amount of time listening to my needs. When Dr Peters came into the room he was well informed about my concerns and was able to suggest a course of Sinvisc which is helping.

UofU Patient
April 09, 2013
Dr. Peters did well on the above questions but it was a considerable amount of time before he came in to talk to us. I not sure if this is because he was behind or if he was familiarizing himself with our case.

UofU Patient
April 01, 2013
I wish I had been told ahead of the surgery what to expect in range-of-motion, as I am having a lot of trouble and pain with certain movements.

The explanation of my condition and healing was clear and reassuring.

UofU Patient
December 03, 2012
As an afterthought, I would have appreciated more information about the prosthesis, and being spoken to in medical terminology, since that is more specific. I am concerned that I will not be able to speak with the surgeon prior to surgery, and I have questions.

UofU Patient
December 03, 2012
The associate who saw me first did not introduce himself to me and so I had no clue who I was talking to or why.

UofU Patient

I have a hearing handicap and it was a little hard to hear the doctor (my wife heard everything)

UofU Patient
November 15, 2012
very fine

UofU Patient
November 05, 2012
Dr. Peters made me feel stupid for coming in. Like I was coming in for no reason, even though it was the PT that recommended I come get something checked. He didn't seem to like that the PT asked that I come in. Also, when I asked him a question about pain his response was "Move to Arizona or just deal with." This response made me feel helpless and I left the office not very happy that I had to "just deal with it." On the other hand, Dr. Peters' resident was friendly and showed concern.

Dr. Peters is excellent!

UofU Patient
April 19, 2012
I thought that Dr. Peters was a very excellent doctor and was concerned with my leg problems and how to fix it. I felt that he really cared about my well being, and knew what was best for me even if what he suggested wasn't what i wanted at first. I felt a little intimidated by him at first but his intimidation came off as a confident doctor who was sure of what he was doing and he made it very easy to trust him and his opinions. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone. I feel like he can help alot of people.

UofU Patient
April 06, 2012
Although the provider is not good at communication, I know he is a good surgeon so I would still recommend him.

UofU Patient
March 22, 2012
Because it was my first visit, I didn't know what questions to ask about the surgery. It would have been nice to have a little more information up front about the surgery and recovery so I could have thought of those questions on the spot. I was given a large packet of information which I have since studied. The surgeon and nurse both told me that I can call any time and/or email to gain answers to my questions. This made me feel less nervous and as if they really care. I am confident they will answer all of my questions accordingly.

UofU Patient

My entire experience with the care providers and facility has instilled a high degree of confidence in their skill and abilities to provide for my care. I would strongly recommend this care provider to anyone.
