My wife & I (in 60s & 70s) just moved back to Salt Lake City late last year and we both needed to find a new PCP - ideally one we could both agree upon. I did some research and, among other possibilities, found the MDVIP service. Digging deeper, I found a physician, Dr. Celeste Peterson, who seemed to have very good experience, reviews and tended to treat her patients in a wholistic manner. While my wife didn't necessarily agree with the need for MDVIP, we both decided to sign up w/ Dr Peterson. It turned out to be, as my wife put it, 'the best decision we ever made' (other than marrying each other, of course. ;-) I had just gotten a total hip joint replacement before our first appointment with Dr Peterson. She seemed to ask excellent questions and listened carefully to our lifestyle needs and activities. Also, she seemed to do this in a relaxed yet caring manner. Upon her initial exam of myself, she stopped while examining my abdomen. She paused and felt around, exuding concern on her face. When she finished, I asked her 'what's up?' She told me directly that it looked like I had an Abdominal Aneurysm and that it may need immediate attention. She set me up with a highly recommended Vascular Surgeon for further exam. After a plethora of tests by the Vascular Surgeon team (CT Scan, ...), they concluded that she was right and I needed immediate surgery. Doing some online research, I found that rupture of an Abdominal Aneurysm is a common and life threatening event. The MDs and Radiologists were amazed that Dr Peterson had just found it through a physical exam. They referred to her ability to discovery the Aneurysm as 'Old School' as, usually, sufferers would wait until rupture w/ severe pain and possible life-threatening consequences. Pre and Post surgery, Dr Peterson was always there. Allowing me to call her directly anytime and/or her office as needed. I had some rather significant complications and needs for followup that she and her office responded to quickly and expertly. One especially bad evening, she called me twice during the night to make sure things were going OK. Bottom line, Dr Peterson, in all probability, saved my life! As my wife said, choosing her and MDVIP was probably The Best Decision We've Ever Made. Thank you Dr Peterson and your office - you're life-savers. 

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. I spoke with her wonderful assistant; Taya. It was my Dr’s day off so I was hoping to get in sometime in the next two weeks. This has been my previous experience with other physicians so imagine my surprise to be called back shortly by my Internist; Dr Peterson. She was concerned and asked me the pertinent questions about my problem. She asked about my comfort level and if I needed immediate help. I said no and we hung up. Soon the phone rang and she had gotten an appointment for me with a Specialist in the field, Dr. Bourne. Impossibly, she got me in to be seen just a few days later. Dr Peterson’s concern was very clear in her voice as she asked about my comfort level again. I assured her that I was fine. I saw Dr. Bourne for the problem and he was wonderful, too. He is resolving my knee problem and I’ll return to him in a month. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Celeste Peterson. Over the past year that she has been my Dr. I have been constantly surprised and pleased by her gentle, warm care and professional approach to any health issue I have or may have in the future. She, in a word is; terrific!
