My wife is a Post Anesthesia Care Unit RN who takes care of patients coming out of surgery and she sees hernia surgeries get screwed up all the time. She sees patients coming back 3 or more times to have painful hernia surgeries cleared up. She also told me that the mesh many surgeons use was the problem.\n\nI went to Dr. Peterson because he does not use mesh. In fact my research indicates that he fixes other surgeon's mistakes in this area. I have insurance, and had to pay out of pocket to get this office's services. The end cost was probably close to what I would have paid for Deductibles for my insurance that really didn't let me pick the surgery or the technique that was used. Take the time to study Dr. Peterson's CV. I came to the conclusion that he was well qualified. My wife, the RN, agreed when she met him for the pre-op appointment. The surgery went well and I have referred two friends who also are satisfied with their outcomes as well."^^ . . "0"^^ .
