Rachel Peterson, MD

Dr. Rachel Peterson entered the medical field because she likes working with people. She also enjoys learning about science and the human body, so medicine felt like a natural choice for her. In her practice, Dr. Peterson most often treats women who have painful or heavy periods. She also treats women with pelvic pain who are pregnant or have general health concerns. Every day is different for her. Dr. Peterson spends some days in the clinic and others in the operating room. She could also spend the day delivering babies and taking care of patients in the hospital. Her style is laid back. Dr. Peterson encourages patients to be advocates in their care by asking questions and staying focused on what they want out of a visit. The best part of her job is welcoming a new baby into a family and enjoying that special moment. Call the Sanford Obstetrics & Gynecology clinic to schedule an appointment with Dr. Peterson.
