    Just felt like there was little concern for my dizziness I've been to a doctor my eyes were the concern nothing else but felt like I was getting the brush off

    Dr. Peterson was good this year. Last year I felt that he was detached. Recommendations are based on the cumulative experience, not one visit.
  • Oct, 2 2024
    Dr. Peterson was so funny! He entered the room and said hi and it was nice to see me again...really? He couldn't possibly remember me from Adam, but he made it SOUND LIKE HE DID, and that he WAS genuinely pleased to see me again. Kudos for that. We discussed options sufficiently that I believed I understood and could make a reasonable choice from all the options available. He didn't reprimand me for not following through on treatment recommendations he had made last year, but explained I think in more detail this year the importance of those treatment recommendations, how doing them would benefit me and improve my eyes' condition. At my request he agreed to write for an ointment as well, which I strongly believe will help my compliance. So all in all, very pleased with Dr. Peterson this visit.

  • Aug, 14 2024
    Doctor was quick in examing me but did not explain all that was wrong with my eyes at that time. I felt rushed. I read and reread the after summary of his notes in "My Chart" (as I was not given a copy when I left) and he did not mentioned I had floaters in my right eye when I saw him in person. That was not addressed. I am concern.

    I appreciate it that I was given this appointment with Dr. Peterson, who performed my cataract surgery in January 2023. I had some concerns that he addressed, most specifically, the eyeglasses I was wearing. He recommended that I have annual check-ups to rule out Glaucoma, which I plan to do.
