My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I believe in the power of movement at any age and a holistic, personalized approach to medical care. As a primary care physician, I strive to help my patients to achieve their optimum quality of life. My passion is working with patients to develop a tailored health plan centered on prevention and wellness.

As an internist and specialist in geriatric medicine, I have a deep understanding of aging and possess a unique skill set in treating the older adult, with a focus on supporting both patients and caretakers. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I am able to take the time required to better address each patient's concerns while considering functional status and quality of life.

I am affiliated with St. Mark’s Hospital and serve the Salt Lake City, Utah valley.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Peterson

from Victoria in UT March 22, 2024 for Celeste Knight Peterson, MD

I am in my seventies and I have been fortunate to have very caring PCPs for the past 20 some years. As I grow older, I realize I need my doctor to be able to spend more time with me at my appointments. That’s when I got to meet Dr. Celeste Peterson through MDVIP almost 2 tears ago. I find her to be very caring and open minded with my likes and more importantly my dislikes, when it comes to… See more

I did some research and, among other possibilities, found the MDVIP service.

Having been treated be my MDVIP Dr., Celeste Peterson, for other health issues before, I recently had a problem with my knee that caused me to call for an appointment to be seen.

from Sage in UT December 11, 2023 for Celeste Knight Peterson, MD

Dr. Celeste Peterson is the best doctor I have ever had in my entire life! I seriously couldn't say enough great things about her. She was endlessly patient, caring, kind, receptive, available, helpful, encouraging and supportive. With her help, I made incredible strides with my chronic condition. I literally can't believe how supported I felt by her. If all doctors were like her,… See more
