Patient Reviews

I could not be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Peterson and his team. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how warm, personable, and attentive he is, as well as how genuinely professional and welcoming his staff are. His office is exceptionally well-staffed, so I never felt rushed or overlooked, and everything is spotless, organized, and clearly maintained to the highest standards. The technology Dr. Peterson uses is state-of-the-art -- truly cutting edge and on par with world-renowned treatment centers. I initially came in for an Achilles tendon problem, but through his incredibly thorough and comprehensive examination, he identified and is now treating three older, related injuries I didn't even realize were still impacting me. His approach connects the dots, ensuring nothing is overlooked, and his treatment plans are both innovative and highly effective. If you want a podiatrist who is personable, thorough, and equipped with the latest advancements in care, Dr. Peterson is the one. I'm beyond grateful for his expertise and the excellent care I've received.

The experience was amazing with this podiatry office. We were here for my son's ingrown toe nail removal. We were able to get the same week appointment on a Saturday. We were told the office opens on certain Saturdays to accommodate some of their patients. We saw Dr. Dahl. He is nice and friendly. My son was nervous to get his ingrown toe nail removed. Who doesn't right? But Dr. Dahl talked to him and made him less nervous and comfortable. The procedure was quick and the doctor explained every step of the way so my son knew exactly what was going on. We highly recommend this Dr. Dahl from this podiatry office. Parking is easy, the waiting room is clean, front staff is friendly.

I inherited my father's feet. Actually, everybody on his side of the family has these feet. Thick toenails, fungus, we are talking ugly here. For the last 10 years, I just ignored them. Then I went to a podiatrist. He informed me that there was nothing he could do for me. Two months later, I found Dr. Petersen. Well, let me tell you, if my father were alive to see it, he would never believe these are my feet. Dr. Petersen immediately identified what the problems were and assured me that he was able to help me. After debriding them, he sent me home with a topical medicine to be used twice a day. Three months later, my feet are 90% better. In another three months, they should look normal. I am so grateful to Dr. Petersen for his expertise and bedside manner. I am so glad that I didn't listen to that first podiatrist. Special call out to.Cami and Cristina, who celebrated my progress with me.

he staff was friendly and accommodating throughout my visit--from scheduling to follow-up. Same-day appointments are available for urgent care, which was a huge plus.

I am so happy I found this office and Dr. Peterson. I had seen other podiatrist over the years that have dismissed my persistent foot pain, and only offered conservative, ineffective treatments. Before I saw Dr. Peterson I had trouble walking a few blocks and would always end the day pain. Staff at Dr. Peterson's office are energetic and polite. Dr. Peterson treats you like you're the only patient in the whole office during your visit. For my treatment, Dr. Peterson prioritized my issues and offered surgical solutions. After 2 surgeries (one on each foot) and a full recovery, I feel like I have new feet! I can walk the dog, go shopping, be on my feet a good part of the day, and hardly give me feet a second thought. Isn't that amazing? For me it is! Thanks Dr. Peterson and staff.
