Dr. Petersen and his entire staff were exceptionally friendly and most helpful. They took care to ensure all the paperwork /approvals I needed were in order. I came in for relief of discomfort from a cyst under my bunion. Dr. Petersen presented several options to resolve my pain. My bunionectomy and surgical removal a my cyst went so well, I decided to have Dr. Petersen perform the correction on the second foot as soon as he felt the first was healed enough to take my full weight. The discomfort post-op was minimal without the need for pain medication, only ice and elevation. Although I am not completely healed, I expect little to no scarring. I did go to an orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion prior to moving forward with Dr. Petersen. I must say I am most happy with my choice and highly recommend Dr. Petersen.

I had a great experience at Dr. Petersen's office. He made me feel very comfortable and the office staff is very friendly and helpful! I went in with an ingrown toenail and he did a small procedure on the nail. I came out very satisfied and have not had a problem since!!!
