    We highly recommend Dr. Petersen and his wonderful office staff. He recently did a very complex neck surgery on my elderly friend Richard S., repairing his neck from the back. Richard has had an amazing recovery and continues to improve daily. Dr. Petersen is very focused and thorough. Highly, highly recommend!!!

    Dr Kearse is hands down the best doctor you will ever find. He treats every patent with dignity and respect. He has a true concern for your health. I just can’t say enough about him.

    Dr Hinson, Eric, and Lana have always been so helpful and responsive to the numerous times I have had to be treated. So thankful I was able to luck up on getting my first appointment with them back in 2021.
