Dr. Peterson is passionate about the full spectrum of family medicine and finds taking care of children and adults of all ages incredibly fulfilling. She is eager to empower patients with the knowledge to promote healthy lifestyles and answer any health-related questions and concerns that arise along the road of life.
After growing up in Sacramento, California, and attending college in Boston and medical school in Southern California, Dr. Peterson happily settled in Seattle for her residency at Swedish First Hill. During residency, she met her now husband, Brian, and discovered her passion for cooking and exploring the outdoors. Dr. Peterson never ceases to be amazed by the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and especially enjoys exploring the Cascade mountains with Brian. She is an avid runner and occupies much of her free time training for her next race. It is a privilege for Dr. Peterson to be able to practice medicine in such a wonderful community that embraces the holistic approach to patient care that she values.
