I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Peterson in regards to possible glaucoma. I was given a very thorough eye exam by Dr. Peterson and his assistant who was very patient with me because I am disabled and use an upright walker aShow morend needed assistance at times for various exams. Dr. Peterson listen to my concerns and valued my input. I was given my diagnosis and a detailed plan of care.
Dr Peterson is not only very personable, but he actually spends time explaining what is going on with your eyes at your level of knowledge. If I could give this doctor 20 stars, I would.

Excellent and professional
The doctor and the staff were great.
Dr Peterson and Jasmine conducted a very patient and thorough examination for me. I have some unique problems with my eyes and left feeling very well taken care of. Jewels helped me pick out frames for new Intermediate and Distance glasses that work well with my new over the ear hearing aids, and new lenses for my sunglasses. She was very professional, while having fun in the process. Tammy went the extra mile to repair/ replace my reading glasses frame that had broken. Support staff are great too. I have always had amazing care at AVOC and would recommend them to anyone.

Always fast, friendly yet professional service from Dr Peterson and all the staff.
The office staff suggested a new screening for the retina which was helpful. Dr. Petersen explained the images clearly. He patiently listened to my concerns and addressed them accordingly. I requested that my visit be shared with my primary physician. He immediately sent his findings to my primary physician even as I was still in the clinic picking out eyeglasses. Dr. Petersen genuinely cares for his patients. The office staff were friendly and respectful.
Dr. Peterson is an amazing eye doctor. Every time I go for my yearly appointment he always attentive, caring, and professional.
