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.

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 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

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

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.

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.

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

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 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 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.

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.

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

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

UofU Patient

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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

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

UofU Patient
September 05, 2015
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

UofU Patient
August 25, 2015
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

Dr. knows about lack of concern regarding pain meds when I left after surgery

UofU Patient
August 09, 2015
Dr. Peters and his staff are outstanding!

UofU Patient
July 29, 2015
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 29, 2015
Care provider has to address the issue of wait times from scheduled time. He personally would not tolerate it!!

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
June 21, 2015
I've already sent patients his way.

UofU Patient
June 21, 2015
Dr. Peters is the best! I know many people who see him and, I have sent many to see him

UofU Patient
June 20, 2015
Difficult situation. Balancing act between my husband getting a heart transplant and me needing knee replacement surgery.

UofU Patient
June 19, 2015
This was my first surgery by Dr. Peters at the University of Utah. Everyone involved in my care was professional, competent, and caring.

UofU Patient
May 19, 2015
Doctor Peters did an excellent job

UofU Patient
May 19, 2015
I felt Dr Peters was awesome in settling my fears and answered my questions that made me feel he wanted my best care

UofU Patient
May 13, 2015
Good

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.

UofU Patient
May 10, 2015
very professional

UofU Patient
May 04, 2015
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
April 19, 2015
From the beginning, I have been impressed with all of the staff of Dr. Peters.

UofU Patient
April 19, 2015
Again, Everyone was wonderful.

UofU Patient
March 30, 2015
all good

UofU Patient

Dr Peters and Dr Montanez were very personable and easy to talk to. my concerns were addressed in a professional manner.

UofU Patient

Dr. Peters is an amazing provider!!!!

UofU Patient

Dr. Peters is Awesome

UofU Patient
March 15, 2015
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!

UofU Patient
March 02, 2015
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.

UofU Patient
March 02, 2015
pleasant experience

UofU Patient
February 22, 2015
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

UofU Patient
February 08, 2015
I couldn't ask for better medical care. This team is top notch!

UofU Patient
January 27, 2015

Thank you!

UofU Patient
January 20, 2015
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.

UofU Patient
December 31, 2014
Dr. Peters is great as are the rest of staff. Happy New Year!

Excellent experience all around.

UofU Patient
November 11, 2014
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.

UofU Patient
November 08, 2014
good

UofU Patient
October 17, 2014
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.

UofU Patient
October 16, 2014
My surgeon is proficient and I don't doubt his skill level but friendliness and bedside manner could be improved.

UofU Patient
October 05, 2014
All's great.

UofU Patient

Dr. Peters is the BEST!!

UofU Patient

Dr. Peters is to the point and confident leaving you with little questions, will only use Dr. Peters for othopeadic concerns from now on.

UofU Patient

very good care and concern by all involved.

UofU Patient
July 18, 2014
Dr Peters is excellent. So grateful for his replacing my knees with the greatest of skill and care. Every aspect of my visit was good. Friendly, courteous, caring office people, medical assistants, technicians, etc, and of course the best doctor. Thank you all.

UofU Patient
July 14, 2014
We were so impressed with the level of knowledge and concern we experienced.

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.

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 07, 2014
Very patient and took the time to hear our concerns and reassure us that surgery may be a good decision for our daughter.

UofU Patient
July 05, 2014
I am impressed with Dr. Anderson and of course I am always happy with Dr. Peters

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

No complaints at all

UofU Patient
June 09, 2014
This was a year follow-up, Dr. just needed to see me for a few minutes.

UofU Patient
June 08, 2014
Dr Peters has a very high level of clinical expertise but it difficult to talk to

UofU Patient
June 07, 2014
Staff are the best I could have dealt with. Very professional.

UofU Patient
May 31, 2014
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
January 11, 2014
I have been very pleased with the entire health care system at the University of Utah .With everyrything coordinated it makes it possible for us to travel from Nevada to receive our care.

UofU Patient
January 11, 2014
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.

UofU Patient
January 11, 2014
I would always enjoy more time with Dr. Peters. I so appreciate and enjoy his direct, clear answers and information. I do realize that there are many, many others who also need his time.

UofU Patient
December 14, 2013
Dr Peters and all his staff are excellent. I felt they listened to me, understood my feelings and were concerned about the level of care I received. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Petron and Dr Peters are both total professionals and made me feel very comfortable.

UofU Patient

Have recommended Dr. Peters to others.

UofU Patient
October 14, 2013
The doctor made me feel comfortable. I was very scared because I have had other surgeries but he made me feel like I was making the right decision.

UofU Patient

Dr Peters is a rockstar. he is very kind, patient, informative and truly cares. He is extremely competent and I would trust him with my life.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

Very good experience and have already recommended Dr Peters and the Orthopedic Center to others.

UofU Patient

all things explained well

UofU Patient
September 09, 2013
Have already lauded the experience to all my friends and family

UofU Patient
September 09, 2013
I have confidence in Dr. Peters and have recommended him to others based upon my previous experience with him as my surgeon.

UofU Patient
September 03, 2013
I really mean these ratings. I have had the best experience working with Chris Peters and his staff. I really cannot say enough how pleased I am with the entire event from first meeting Dr Burkes to being referred to Dr Peters and having the surgeries from both.

UofU Patient
August 12, 2013
I recommend this facility and its care providers all the time.

UofU Patient
August 05, 2013
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.

UofU Patient
July 31, 2013
Dr. Peters and his Fellow were very supportive and clear in their information and provided great information and hope for a good recovery.

UofU Patient
July 22, 2013
really great....no doubt I will and have referred others to Dr. Peters' group

UofU Patient
June 26, 2013
All the folks at the U of U Hospital were very helpful and provided a great experience.

UofU Patient
June 24, 2013
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 24, 2013
Dr. Christopher Peters is simply the best.

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!

UofU Patient
June 10, 2013
Smooth and professional

UofU Patient
May 31, 2013
Very iformative and helpful

UofU Patient
April 25, 2013
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.

UofU Patient
March 30, 2013
Have already referred Dr. Peters to a friend of mine that needs her knees done as well.

UofU Patient
March 18, 2013
Excellent surgical result.

UofU Patient
March 18, 2013
I've been very happy with Dr. Peters, himself. Communication between the front administration and the back clinical staff is less than ideal.

UofU Patient
March 12, 2013
NO PROBLEMS

UofU Patient
March 08, 2013
Great staff-excellent experience

UofU Patient
February 18, 2013
Dr Peters is the best!

UofU Patient
February 05, 2013
the doctor spent almost an hour thoroughly answering questions, explaining the procedures and addressing my concerns. It was a very helpful visit.

UofU Patient
January 31, 2013
The explanation of my condition and healing was clear and reassuring.

UofU Patient
January 28, 2013
I would have liked more specific information. There were also no options to the dr.'s choice of implants other than not having surgery.

UofU Patient
January 14, 2013
Dr. Peters was very professional, did a thorough exam, and made sure all my questions were answered. I feel reassured about my approaching surgery in his care.

I ha ve had a very positive experiencwith my hip replacement and feel the whole operation went very well

UofU Patient
December 24, 2012
Dr. Peters is terrific both in his bedside manner and his surgical skills. I was so surprised that he came into the room for my checkup exactly on time and I did not have to wait at all. He answered my questions with specific data and attention to details.

UofU Patient
December 19, 2012
Dr. Peters and staff did an excellent job with me.

UofU Patient
December 18, 2012
We felt very confident and at ease with the dr in reviewing the problem and the upcoming procedure

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
seemed a little rushed

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
November 19, 2012
I have a hearing handicap and it was a little hard to hear the doctor (my wife heard everything)

UofU Patient
November 17, 2012
The visit seemed kind of rushed. I had questions, but did not have time to aske them.

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.

UofU Patient
October 30, 2012
Good

UofU Patient
October 30, 2012
As good an experience one might expect in dealing with an injury!

UofU Patient
October 29, 2012
In addition to being an excellent surgeon, Dr. Peters pays close attention to questions and answers them completely and clearly. I will highly recommend him to any friend or acquaintance who's facing knee or hip surgery.

UofU Patient
October 15, 2012
I can understand big words! I appreciate as much information as possible.

UofU Patient
October 08, 2012
I have sent other people to Dr. Peters and they have also had successful outcomes.

UofU Patient
October 03, 2012
Very impressed,My Dr. came highly recommended by one of my other Dr.'s I was really pleased.

UofU Patient
September 30, 2012
The provider seems to be reserved not gregarious but my main concern is the quality of care he will provide and I am confident that he will meet my expectations.

UofU Patient
September 29, 2012
Dr Peter's is fabulousl. he replaced both of my knees, never had a problem with them and I anticipate the same with my hip replacement. I have always recommended Dr Peter's, he's the best.

UofU Patient
September 03, 2012
I have recommended Dr. Peters to a friend who had surgery from him last month and was also pleased with his care.

UofU Patient
August 14, 2012
Dr. Peters was very concerned with my situation and we talked about different situations to take

UofU Patient
August 13, 2012
Dr. Peters is an outstanding Orthopedic surgeon and when visiting with anyone about the surgeries on my knees always encourage them to see Dr. Peters.

UofU Patient
August 13, 2012
A more detailed explanation of how the proposed surgery will be performed would be appreciated.

UofU Patient
July 30, 2012
Dr. Peters is an exellent doctor and he really knows what he is doing and i have found that out first hand. He is confident in what he does and i would highly recommend him to others.

UofU Patient

I felt my concerns were adequately addressed, but more details about what to expect would have been appreciated.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

I feel "very" comfortable coming to the clinic and it is a relief to me to know I have Dr. Peters to help me with any further surgeries I may need. I definitely would recommend him to others.

UofU Patient
April 26, 2012
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
March 08, 2012
couldn't have asked for better care.

UofU Patient
February 19, 2012
everyone there is fabulous and careful to do every thing they can.

UofU Patient

First visit with Dr. Peters - we are just getting to know him and the clinic system.

UofU Patient
February 02, 2012
I was here two years ago and had superlative care. I am happy to say it has not changed.

UofU Patient
January 26, 2012
Both Fellow and Attending physician very good.

UofU Patient
January 12, 2012
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.

UofU Patient
January 12, 2012
i have more confidence in dr peters then i have ever had in any doctor
