Peterson William J, DDS

Doctor Peterson and his staff give me the best experience I could ever imaged! Growing up in China, we didn’t know the importance of dental checkup. One only goes to a dentist when their teeth hurt. The result is that I never went to a dentist for 23 years. My husband has been going to Dr. Peterson for years and he couldn’t recommend going there enough!
So I called and made my first appointment, Pat is the front desk receptionist who is also responsible for scheduling is very warm and welcoming. On my first visit, I had hygienist Fahreen, she is so cheerful and really spending time getting to know you and introducing herself that I feel I am being treated by a friend. Because I am new to everything, Fahreen explained every step and stop to listen to me when I feel discomfort or have a question. After the first exam, I found out that I need deep cleaning and 14 cavities! How important it is to visit your dentist!
Next time, I went in for fillings and cleaning. Dr Peterson is the most patient and gentle person there is. I was really nervous about getting anesthesia. Not only has Dr. Peterson explained the whole process in detail and how anesthesia works in different areas and how it would likely to feel when the needle goes in, he has the most calming voice. I won’t be surprised if he is secretly a voice actor. Dr. Peterson fixed 10 of 14 cavities, due to his schedule, Dr. Sunde fixed the rest 4. Dr. Sunde is also very professional, very friendly and caring. He shares adorable story with his son and it made the process goes faster for me. :)
I recommend Dr. Peterson’s dental practice from top to bottom and inside out, it’s 100% pure awesomeness, which is why when I randomly looked up Dr Peterson on Unilocal today, I am shocked to see there is a one star review! I would give 10 stars if I can. Given how few people have reviewed and the why Unilocal works, I feel it is really unfair to Dr. Peterson’s work and practice that one or two scam reviews screw the rating so much.

My family has been going to Dr. Peterson for as long as I can remember. I moved away from home, so I have not had the pleasure of seeing him for a few years. However, I recently re-​visited his office when I was home for summer break and he an his team were extraordinary. They went above and beyond and scheduled a couple of after-​hours dentist appointments when I had some unexpected dental problems, and they provided me with a plethora of information regarding the health status of my teeth. Additionally, Dr. Peterson uses the top-​of-​the-​line equipment and was able to make me a new crown on the spot! Dr. Peterson is more than just an amazing dentist. He truly cares about his patients, and he shows it through his caring demeanor as well as through his kind and competent team members. He has truly been a blessing to my family and me, so much so that we fly in family from overseas just to have dental work done with Dr. Peterson. Good dentists are very hard to find, and I am fortunate to say that I have found one of the best in Dr. Peterson.

I have been going to this office since 1989 when Dr. Bouma was the main dentist. Well, when Dr. Bouma who was the best dentist ever retired, I have to admit that I was nervous when Dr. Peterson took over his practice since he looked so young. But after the first visit I knew our family was in good hands. Dr. Peterson and all of his staff, especially Pat at the front desk, are the most honest, caring dentist staff there is. They do NOT do work that is not necessary and truly care about my family’s health and happiness. I personally have not had a cavity in probably 12 or more years due to such great dental care and service. Dr. Peterson is the most gentle, kind man you could hope to work on your teeth so if you hate dentists, give him a try, he and his office staff will cause you to leave with a beautiful smile! These other Unilocaler’s should have talked to his staff or him about their issues because he has always taken care of any issues or questions we have had regarding billing or otherwise, because he is an honorable person who truly cares about his clients.

I had my worst dentist experience here with William Peterson. I went there for regular check up and after the exam he decided to fill my teeth. The filling was horrible, I had pain for days, went back couple of times and ended up going to another dentist to redo the work. Maybe this was a one time thing but I cant afford to go back there again.
UPDATE — 5 years after my review, the dentist decided to post a comment :) great customer service :) First of all, since these reviews are anonymous, you cant go back to records to check without knowing the name. Second, great work figuring out our scam I think you had all these 5 years to think about it:) And lastly, if your approach for a bad review is to blame and point out fingers to your patients, I just wish best of luck to your existing patients.

I have been to various doctor’s office, and I should say that Dr. Peterson is one of the good ones. Their office staff is courteous and accommodating when scheduling appointments.
However their office staff are not aware of basic insurance policies and don’t do due diligence in getting past medical records. Two times I underwent some operation (which at the time I was told was covered by insurance) but was not covered. I had to pay $ 800 from my pocket for the two times combined. They still did not get the relevant past medical record despite the fact second time I had to pay from my pocket.
So, if you don’t have insurance, this place is really good. But if you do have insurance, you need to do all the homework yourself regarding how much you would pay, because their staff is incompetent in this regard.
