He earned a medical degree at Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine and completed residency training at Baylor Scott &amp; White Health Podiatric Medicine &amp; Surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Peterson chose his specialty because he suffered sports injuries to his feet and ankles when he was in high school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis sparked my interest in the profession,\u201d he said. \u201cI wanted to have the satisfaction that comes from helping people recover from injuries and chronic conditions of the foot and ankle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Peterson has volunteered on service and medical mission trips to Northern Peru and San Miguel, Mexico. He is fluent in Spanish and enjoys communicating with Spanish-speaking patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was drawn to Samaritan for the workplace culture and because he shares the values of Samaritan PRIDE &#8211; Passion, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is something I want to be a part of,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Peterson is married and has three children.
