Not sure what to say?

Dr. Peterson fixed my left knee in 1975. I never forgot how, for the rest of my life, he made such a lasting impression about how to treat a patient. I've had his voice and smile in my mind for over 50 years. I've recently had my left knee replaced at 67 years old, and wanted to find out about the doctor I compare every other doctor to. To this day, Dr. Peterson is still fixing the broken wings of angels.

IN 1956, I WAS A SCRAWNY UNDERGRAD PREMED PLAYING IM TOUCH FOOTBALL. BROKE LEFT LATERAL MALLEOLUS THROWING A BLOCK. DR.PETERSON TOOK CARE OF ME IN THE HOSPITAL ER. I STILL REMEMBER HIS SMILNG FACE AND KIND WORDS AS HE CASTED ME. WENT ON TO BE A SURGEON MYSELF. BUT THOSE SEMINAL MEMORIES ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.....THANKS DR. TOM!!!!!

I will never forget Dr. Peterson's kindness. The obituary was a perfect remembrance of him. I will keep all of you in my heart and in my prayers.

Dear Kennie and Family,We are very sad to hear of Tom,s death. He was a kind and generous doctor and family man and will be greatly missed. We are blessed to have had him as a friend.

Tom was an intern at the time I had hip surgery at 2 years old and because of him and Dr. Bagley I am still walking. I've missed him since his practice ended, and now hearing of his passing, I'll miss him more. Thank you Tom for a lifetime of experiences.
Condolences to his family. Knowing how much he was loved by so many should bring you joy knowing he is with his Lord and Savior.

To Kennie and family,
It was just this morning we learned of Tom's passing, and we know our God has a place in His heaven for him. It was our privilege to have known him. Our best wishes to you in the days that follow.
