Dr. Marcus Peterson - The Center For Advanced Plastic Surgery

We would appreciate the reviewer Regina Viola to contact our office at any time and ask to speak to Tami. We have no patient by that name in our records and the comments do not follow any of our practice policies. In the rare event that a patient might be frustrated with Dr. Peterson or any member of his staff, or feel they have been treated poorly, we would so appreciate a phone call or e-mail. Every effort will be made to make things right. If a patient wants to know the cost of a specific surgery, all they need to do is call the office or e-mail Dr. Peterson directly. We are more than willing to let patients know what to expect before ever coming in for a consult. All new consults are given 30 minutes with Dr. Peterson. On two occasions since 2006 there have been accidents on !-15 that slowed down the Staff to arrive in Vegas. While on the road, the first two or three patients were called to let them know of the delay and were scheduled later in the day. Anyone who was seen, was given the full consult time and often more if they had questions. In addition, no patient in our practice has ever been called 8 months after a consultation and been asked to pay for it. Consultations are always complimentary in St. George, Utah and Henderson, Nevada. Because Dr. Peterson's time is so limited in Henderson, we do secure a credit card number for our Las Vegas patients that is held to guarantee their appointment slot. The credit card is NEVER charged unless the patient simply does not show up for their appointment. Even if the patient calls us the day of the appointment to let us know they cannot come, there is no charge. this policy is explained when the consultation is made. We would be so happy to clear up any issues or misunderstandings you may have had Viola. Thank you!

Dr. Peterson is a gem of a doctor and a first rate artist of the body! After years of trying to accept what nature gave me and trying to deal with discomfort , low self esteem, embarrassment and shame, Dr. Peterson sculpted my body into a work of art, a body I can finally be proud of, a "right sized body". After many years of dieting, exercising, praying, meditating, hoping for a miracle to happen, it finally has. Because of Dr. Peterson's ability to transform my body, I finally feel comfortable in my own skin and I am proud of who I am. Thank you Dr. Peterson for giving me my life back!

First I was told the consultation was free. They were 25 minutes late on opening up there office. I had to go to work that day so my time was limited. When they finally arrived and open up, Everything was rushed from then. They try to tell you they have better prices the Vegas doctors but they do not. I was quoted the same price as Vegas doctors. He spent no joke less than 5 minutes looking at my breast, then tells me I need a lift and he was on his way. His hands unbelievably shook the whole time, it was so bad it was unsettling. There was no talk of size, options, or what type of implant...nothing. I get dressed thinking what a complete waste of my morning. They don't care about their clients, you are just money to them period. I walk out of the room and the office lady is asking me when I want to do the procedure, I side skirt it because there is no way I was letting Dr. Shaky Hands operate on me. Fast forward 8 months ( 8 MONTHS!) they call me wanting $100 for the consultation. What? You said it was free, now you realize I am not going to have Mr. Shaky touch me you want to charge me? Out of the 6 consultation this practice has won the award for the most unprofessional and inadequate office. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY GOING TO THIS PRACTICE. Find a doctor in Vegas, there is plenty and their hands don't shake!

I recently had my first appointment at Dr Peterson's office. I arrived 20 minutes early to allow time to fill out the necessary paper work. My appointment was scheduled for 3:30pm. At exactly 3:30pm I was escorted to a patient room. I was instructed to remove my clothing, watch videos about all different types of plastic surgery procedures and was told that Dr Peterson would be right in. An hour and 5 minutes later, I needed to use the rest room. I opened the door and tried to get someones attention. No luck. I left the door open hoping some one would stop by the room and I could ask to use the restroom. Just as I had made my mind up to get dressed and leave...Dr. Peterson walks in. I noted that when he looked at my chart he had not reviewed the information sheet I had filled out. He looked at my name and glanced at the bottom of the information page where I was asked to circle plastic surgery procedures I might be interested in. I scheduled this appointment to review options for removal of my excessive lipoma's. Dr Peterson said hello and ask what types of procedures I was interested in. I explained I was there to review possible options for lipoma removal. He told the cold sculpting would not work to remove the lipoma's. We chatted for a couple of minutes about other options. I informed Dr Peterson that I had recently begun working out at an gym and was hopeful to lose 35lbs over time. He suggested when I had lost the 35lbs to come back and we would discuss liposuction. Not a great first impression. I got dressed, went to the front desk to check out and was asked to wait a few minutes to discuss my treatment plan with a woman sitting in a glassed enclosed office. Again, obviously there is a lack of communication within the office. I have some thoughts I'd like to share with Dr Peterson. I have worked in the medical field for nearly 30 years. New patients are never left unchecked for more than 10 minutes. If the doctor is behind in schedule one of our staff always visits the room to explain and make sure the patient is ok waiting. At no time do we ask our patients to dis-robe prior to meeting the doctor for the first time. Patients should be told where the restroom is...just in case. Lastly, make sure all office staff including the doctor communicate.

He was very professional in the consultation. His staff is amazing and I LOVE the results!
