Dr. Terri Peterson was excellent! I was referred to her because of pain I'm having in my lower back and right knee and leg. She took time to go through my previous spinal problems and explained things very well to me. She recommended the next steps and I was in total agreement.

[...], my primary Dr is GREAT! He recommended Dr Peterson for my back and spine PAIN...and it was debilitating. Dr Peterson looked at my previous history and examined me. She was very thorough in her questioning me (and previous history) and her thoughts and suggestions for a recovery and healing plan was presented. I felt she was bright, sharp, and had my best interests in mind. I liked her thinking, ideas, and affect! Thanks to[...] and Dr Peterson. Now time to do the therapy and hopefully heal! [...]

My arrival was very delayed by multiple severe accidents on 494. I called to notify the office. Was pleasantly surprised that Dr. Peterson [...] able to work me in to her schedule. I think she gave up her lunch for me, and she did it with a smile. She still took the time to listen to, and encourage me, regarding my upcoming SIEA/DIEP Flap breast reconstruction. She answered questions I had regarding sleeping on my affected arm, and the risk factors for lymphedema going forward. I am so grateful I have such a wonderful provider who cares about me.
