    Dr. Peterson is the best. I truly appreciate his care that he shows for his patients. His kindness, professionalism, compassion and respect for his patients and families is truly remarkable. He truly knows what he is talking about when he meets with us.

    It was the first time with this doctor. We love Dr. Cuenca, but she wasn't available on that day. Dr. Peterson was very good. He was very knowledgeable and he communicated with my daughter in a way she understood what was happening to her. Very good experience with the doctor.

    I liked Dr. Peterson very much. The only problem was that the visit felt a bit rushed. Partially, this was because the doctor was running late, which was not his fault, and I understand how things go. But partially, it's that visits at Mary Bridge always feel rushed. It's almost impossible to address everything in 20 minutes when there's a child in the room.

    Dr Peterson made us feel extremely better than when we first came in. He took all the time we needed to let us ask questions and answer them and talk with us about our concerns. As first time parents Dr Peterson really helped us calm down and hear we're doing a good job. His calm demeanor with our baby was amazing, {patient name removed} was awake but calm and happy during the whole appointment. Which lasted quite a while because he took the time to let us ask any and all questions we had.

    I have already recommended this location and specifically Dr. Peterson to multiple families as the care shown for my son has always been the best of the best.

    We are so fortunate that Dr Peterson is in the Peds clinic and has an amazing "no rush" look and let's get this appointment moving. There has been a few appointments that he's given extra time to help our child understand their illness and how to advocate for themselves and the importance of a medical provider roll
