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

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.

Both my husband and I were/are patients of Dr Patterson. He died July 16,2023.

I've seen a lot of doctors in my 77 years, but Celeste Peterson is the best of them all. She is so patient and understanding, plus she is really smart!!

I literally can't believe how supported I felt by her. If all doctors were like her,… See more
