What patients say again and again
From the reviews
I had top surgery (trans masculine) with Dr. Peterson at the end of May. As a trans person, entering any medical space is typically very nerve-wracking. I never know if I will be respected in my identity, if I will be referred to correctly, or if the doctor and their team will know how to care for transgender patients.
I consulted with Dr Peterson about explantation of 28 year old silicone breast implants. I expressed my opinion about having Breast Implant Illness as I have been sick for years. At first she did not believe in BII. After seeing me and speaking to me about it, she was more receptive to my condition.
Dr. Peterson is an outstanding Plastic Surgeon! I'm very pleased with my results. She is professional, talented and highly respected in the medical community here in Central PA. I simply cannot say enough positive things about her skills and I've been treated by her multiple times. You will be in good hands with Dr.
Dr. Peterson is absolutely amazing! Hands down the best in the area! I drove over an hour to see her for juvederm injections, and it was absolutely worth it! She took the time before the procedure to answer all of my questions and she really put me at ease.
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
