When I first came to Dr. Peterson, I was in severe chronic pain in the right side of my body for over a year. I went from running half marathons,going on full day hikes, to not being able to walk or even pull my leg forward by the middle of the day. I could no longer work due to the disabling pain, and all the mental stress that goes along with having to navigate the medical world. I had 6 MRI's, seen over a dozen specialist and surgeons. Prescribed buckets of pain pills with no diagnosis and no relief in site. After only spending 15 minute with Dr. Peterson, he told me I had a ligament injury in my right hip. He was right! After only one injection of prolo therapy and one injection of PRP, I was on the road to recovery and even taking walks less than 3 weeks later. Over a course of 3 treatments I am almost 100%. Dr. Peterson is a blessing. He is confident and has genuine concern. I consider him a Friend and someone I can wholeheartedly trust. Paula, his office specialist gets an A+ as well. These people are Family now. I am grateful beyond words for the gift Dr. Peterson has given me. He saved my life. I have hope again when I almost ran out of it. Thank you. On to the next adventure!

Rude dismissive doctor, made disparaging remarks about minorities. He was not trustworthy and I would not recommend him at all.

I've been to Dr Peterson for about 3 years now trying to get myself back to healthy conditions to play basketball again, he's been a great help with my rehabilitation.

Dr Peterson correctly identified and treated my injury. I had been in chronic pain having difficulty carrying out basic daily tasks for almost two years PRIOR to seeing Dr. Peterson. The physician and physical therapists I saw missed essential, key elements of my injury. My sessions with Dr. Peterson were always very mindful, thoughtful and caring. He knew what areas and in what order treatments were needed to progress my complex soft tissue injury into a state of balance and healing. My treatments consisted of prolotherapy, protein rich plasma injections, accupuncture and soft tissue releases; with each treatment delivered at the right time and in the right places. I have my life back! Thank you Dr. Peterson. To not have pain anymore and be able to function in my daily life is due to his skill, talent, knowledge, and his genuine caring!

I have consulted Dr. Thomas Peterson for many different orthopedic problems over the years.I have taken my children and my elderly father to him. Dr Thomas Peterson is an excellent diagnostician. His treatments are innovative, non-invasive, an effective. I hope he never retires as I don't know where else I could get such excellent care.

I hurt my lower back in a car accident 15 years ago. I have been to several doctors and chiropractors. I have tried physical therapy and cortisone shots in my spine with no long term relief. I was told that the only thing left to try was spinal fusion surgery.
I went to Dr. Peterson and after a very thorough evaluation he diagnosed it as a ligament injury where my spine connects to my pelvis. After 3 prolotherapy treatments, I am now out of pain.

Before I consulted Dr. Peterson I was unable to climb even one flight of stairs without knee pain. Now I can go for a 5 mile hike in the hills without pain. His PRP treatment even resolved the Baker's cyst on the back of my knee. I thought I was headed for a knee replacement but now I am planning a backpacking trip. I have to drive hours to see him but it is well worth it.

Dr. Peterson listened when others told me it was all in my head. He diagnosed a problem in my knee and treated it in three sessions. He was kind and knows a lot about all kinds of treatments. I recommend him to my friends.

Dr. Peterson is the best doctor I've ever met. He is kind, caring, bright and listens to his patients. He treated my arthritis when others wnted to use cortisone shots, which are dangerous. Dr. Peterson doesn't follow the party line, he is creative and offers alternatives to dangerous pills and typical treatments. Hurray for him! He is the best.

Dr. Peterson gave me back my life as an athlete. A local surgeon nearly destroyed my ability to walk, much less run. After surgery, I could not even pick up my right foot. Then I met Dr. Tom who was compassionate, kind, and brilliant. His treatment plan worked! I now run up to 1 1/2 hours every other day, bike, and hike mountains. Thank you, Dr. tom from this 63 year old active athlete!

Dr. Peterson found a way to heal my athletic daughters knee, when 4 others doctors stood by for a year waiting for it to repair itself. He healed it with an alternative to surgery technique and she was back to 100% within 3 months. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable, soft spoken and a hero in our book. I have known other athletes he has treated and they have each had outstanding results. I was given a reference to Dr. Peterson by a local physician that is highly respected that has sent family members to Dr. Peterson himself. Thank you Dr. Peterson for making a difference in our high school students life.
