    Dr Petersen has been my GP for many years, and although i relocated to the Northern Suburbs a number of years ago, i still travel to Medicross, Tokai whenever i need to see him for a medical consultation. Dr Petersen is the epitome of what a doctor should be. He is professional yet caring and genuinely interested in my welfare. At the same time, he doesn't shy away from being direct and 'to the point' when it comes to taking care of my health. I appreciate his expertise and the forthright manner in which he addresses me. Sometimes it's difficult but necessary. He only has the best intentions in terms of my health and I'm sure the health of all of his patients. Visiting a doctor's surgery is sometimes not a very pleasant experience but Dr Petersen's excellent bedside manner puts me at ease and his wide extensive medical knowledge convinces me that i am extremely fortunate to have him as my doctor.

    There are not many Dr's like Dr Petersen. He is an amazing human who is patient, attentive, excellent at what he does and you are not just another appointment. If you have to wait five or ten minutes beyond your scheduled time, it's because he doesn't rush people in and out and I once heard his philosophy that you may be the person who needs a little more Also important and seldom found is a Dr who holds no prejudice or judgement.
