Wow a real veterinarian! I brought my dog Coco in because his ears were swollen, flaming, and angry for a few weeks and it was not getting better despite regular ear cleaning. Dr. Peterson performed all of the history and physical exam (checking the ears, taking cultures, etc.) inside the patient room. And he did all these procedures in front of me instead of taking my dogs away to the back like many of my previous vets. Furthermore, I was impressed that he did all the procedures himself!Instead of simply throwing antibiotics at Coco, like many previous vets, he took a good history and a focused physical exam before making his diagnosis. His opinion was that with Coco's long history of allergies, he was probably having another allergic event and it was not an infection. It's coming to end of the week and Coco is doing great. He is currently taking Zymox and Apoquel (new med for dogs with chronic allergies) and the swelling in his ear has come down and he has stopped biting his paws and scratching his belly. Coco is happy, going on hikes, and eating well.I also brought my dog #2 Dexter in to see the vet because he started scratching his ears. Dr. Peterson looked in his ears with an otoscope and found him to be disease free. And guess what? He didn't charge me for Dexter's visit, how generous is that! These are my first impressions of my one visit to Dr. Peterson's clinic. I am so relieved to finally have met a wonderful vet and really happy that my dogs have a great doctor!One last thing: Dr. Peterson came in and took some photos of my dogs. Those photos have been uploaded onto his business website. How cute it that! (tcvh.com/photo) Read Less
