Paul Peterson Md's Online Review Report Card

Way too many patients so rushes thru exam. He missed a critical heath issue I had. I eventually had heart surgery to implant recording device. To this day I have yet to get a response to why he missed something so critical. A

Dr Peterson would rush thru my apts so he could move on to the next patient. I was treated as a silly old woman at times and my concerns were not taken seriously. To make a long story short because of this he did not catch a serious medical diagnosis.

this physician actually crawled up on a table put a paperclip in the feeling for a IV pole years ago because he cared so much for my unborn child and I. I have never met a more amazing doctor in my life, after a referral to a autoimmune specialist, I still came back to be treated by him. He is an expert in me and my kids.

I am an 81 year old woman and I am VERY unhappy with the attention/time I get from Dr. Peterson! He stay's 5 minutes at the most in the room at the time of service. He doesn't leave time for questions if need be. I need time to address concerns and I don't get it from him!!!! I am in the process of finding another doctor for her.

This doctor spends no time with you and rushes through appointments, he has way too many patients scheduled in a day. I had abdominal pain and all he did was schedule me for a MRI - didn't even touch my stomach!! I went somewhere else where I actually got an exam

I did not see this doctor. However, when I tried to schedule the appointment, they required my SSN. Asked why, said for insurance, but my insurance doesn't require for billing. They offered no alternative, so I decided to go elsewhere. I really don't like the idea of giving out my SSN when there isn't a good reason.

Dr. Peterson is the most compassionate doctor I have ever come in contact with. He will take time to answer all questions and listen to any concerns. He is very personable and is genuinely interested in each person he treats. I feel extremely lucky to have found him as a doctor and would definately recommend him to anyone.

I saw Dr. Paul Peterson for my first OB visit. He was very understanding about my financial situation and did not order extra tests to be done. He stayed with me until I was comfortable that all my questions were answered. He understands the importance of birth to a woman. His cesarean rate is very low at 10%. It's not often that doctors let the laboring process take place instead of speeding things up with an induction or c-section. I was very impressed with how willing he was to ask about and follow the requests I had. I was given a packet of information on basic pregnancy and newborn care.The staff at the office are very friendly. They explain procedures -- I had blood drawn and the lady explained what each vile was going to be tested for. They are also speedy with getting lab results.I talked with the financial manager, and she was able to explain what my financial options were and figure out what would work best for me. Everyone there listened, were friendly, and seemed like they honestly wanted to do what is best for my situation rather than tell me what procedures and protocols need to be done. I had a great first impression, and I recommend this doctor and facility to anyone.

Dr. Peterson is the best doctor I have ever had. We moved away from Sioux City five years ago, and I have yet to find another doctor that is caring and concerned about my issues, as well as those of my family. He is a great listener, and really makes you feel comfortable. We miss him!

Very caring, easy to talk to, and explains things thoroughly. Provided excellent advice and care.
