I've had regular dental cleanings as well as repair/replacement of a poorly done filling from another dentist. Dr. Peterson is always respectful, gentle, and patient in explaining options. He advocates for responsible dentistry without doing more than is required. When a nervous reaction to novocaine resulted in me throwing up, everyone was very caring and respectful. In fact, I moved to another suburb and transferred my records but I'm chosing to go back to Dr. Peterson to update my 20 year old veneers. He is honest and helped identify some dental fraud that had occurred at a previous dentist. Additionally, his staff is responsive, pleasant tempered, and overall makes dentistry a good experience. Having had jaw surgery and over $30,000 invested in my mouth, finding a good dentist is important to me and I can recommend Dr. Peterson without reservation.
