    Love Dr Petersen and has been our family doctor for a good couple of years. He is honest, straight forward and tells you like it is. He is always compassionate and one already feels better walking into his office. It's always neat and tidy and love the soft music and smell of his office. He has a great sense of humour and one really just feels better after having been there. I highly recommend Dr Petersen.

    I have been visiting Dr Petersen for about more than 30 years, and never have I come across him being in a hurry or made me uneasy. The warm feeling when you enter his room, and his smile says it all "welcome" He is really a genuine, caring and approachable doctor. He does care for his patients. Whenever I visit him he looks as if he has been cut out of a magazine, always looking stunning. Thank you doctor Petersen for your hard work and patience. Gail Laguma

    There are not many Dr's like Dr Petersen. He is an amazing human who is patient, attentive, excellent at what he does and you are not just another appointment. If you have to wait five or ten minutes beyond your scheduled time, it's because he doesn't rush people in and out and I once heard his philosophy that you may be the person who needs a little more Also important and seldom found is a Dr who holds no prejudice or judgement. You are free to be you
