Dr Peterson is such a fantastic care giver. She has helped me feel like Vanderbilt is the right place for my care, even outside of her area of internal medicine.

Dr. Peterson saw me because my internist is currently on leave. It was urgent that I be seen and Dr. Peterson saw me within 25 minutes of phone call. She was incredible. Very knowledgeable. Highly empathetic. Great bedside manner.

By far, Dr. Neeraja Peterson has been the best doctor I've ever had. Which is why her and her staff's ratings are always high. I'm not lazy and just check 5 for everything -- I'm being honest. She is the best.

A new medication was prescribed and Dr. Peterson took time to explain how it works and what to watch for and what to expect. This is very helpful.
