    I am so thankful I found Dr. Peterson. I just recently moved to Cape Coral and had a terrible experience with another doctor not part of Lee Health. I am actually now so excited and feel safe knowing Dr. Peterson is looking after me and has my best interest at heart.

    Dr Peterson was incredible. It was my first gynecologist experience and my first pelvic exam and I was very nervous. From the moment he walked in I felt like I was in an incredibly friendly and lighthearted environment. He was so funny and kind, and his demean or made it feel like I was talking with my dad. I felt so safe and I have already recommended him to two other people! He explained my birth control options thoroughly and didn’t push me to make any decisions. I’m so grateful for his effort to make me feel comfortable, I will ABSOLUTELY be scheduling with him from now on.
