Lucy Peterson, MD
My specialties:
- Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN)
Professional interests:
- Obstetrician
- Women's health
- Gynaecologist
- Pelvic pain
I'm an OB/GYN with professional interests in in-office procedures, minimally invasive surgery, medical and surgical management of female incontinence, genital prolapse, contraception, pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding and high- and low-risk obstetrics.
My practice philosophy is... It's my goal to improve my patient's daily lives by listening to, working with, encouraging, teaching and motivating them.
My hometown is... Minneapolis, MN.
I wanted to become a doctor because... I knew I wanted to provide health care when I was five years old. My dolls all showed the marks of shots and surgery. I originally got my degree in nursing and then went to medical school. I consider it a privilege to be trusted by my patients. I value listening and helping women with their health and life concerns. I enjoy surgery and the concentration it demands and being able to work with my hands. I also enjoy learning about new areas of research in my field that can improve my patients' lives and provide real-life solutions.
Something I've learned from my patients is... the importance of respect and true concern for each individual.
The best thing I've done for my health is... I have a daily routine to walk my dog - rain, snow or heat - and I use this time to listen to a favorite teacher who inspires me personally.
Personal experiences I'm proud of... Since high school, I've had the privilege of working overseas and local medical mission trips.
