Dr. Peterson’s training in plastic surgery includes extensive experience in the treatment of burns. Currently he limits his practice to the treatment of minor burns that are in cosmetically challenging areas.
Skin Cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 500,000 new cases are reported each year and the incidence is rising faster than any other type of cancer. About 80% of skin cancers appear on the face, head or neck where they can be both disfiguring as well as dangerous.
If you are concerned about an unusual skin growth, Dr. Peterson can diagnose and treat the cancer in a manner that offers the most pleasing final appearance- especially important if the cancer is in a highly visible area.

Many patients come to Dr Peterson for scar revision. Unsightly scars can be a source of insecurity, whether the scar is on a visible part of the body or in a more private area. If you have a scar from an injury or surgery that you want to be revised or minimized, Dr. Peterson offers several techniques after you have waited the appropriate amount of time for the scar to fade on its own. Usually, he will ask that you wait a year or maybe more time before proceeding with scar revision.
