Article: A Visit to Dr. Peterson II: First Appointment and Testing by Corinne

C
Thanks Carla, So far your story is identical of mine when I began as a new patient with Dr Peterson. For the first time in my 16 years with ME/CFS and ~25 doctors, I had finally met a doctor who understood everything I had been going through. I too was terrified of the stress test, but got through it. There have been a few pwc's unable to leave town after that test. One difference, I gave 31 vials of blood that first day, lol. Dr Peterson is very astute, he misses nothing. He is professional and compassionate. He's a "real" doctor. I love the office staff that I got to know very well in my 27 visits last year. All Good people.

This is Corinne, not Carla. I totally agree Ross...the experience was fantastic. I can't wait to go back. And you are so right about the staff...they are wonderfu and soooo helpful...especially Carol, Trish and I love Evan...he is a cool dude. so tell me....have you found any relief? for me just seeing a real doctor has been "healing"...and I'm not expecting any miracles......but it would be great to just feel a bit better.
