About PJ Pedersen, M.D.
“I was attracted to the intellectual challenges of GI disease such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease and liver disease. I love having the opportunity to perform endoscopic procedures and work collaboratively with other specialists to give patients the best possible care and results.
I love the preventive care opportunities in colon cancer screening – stopping cancer before it starts. So many GI diseases can be treated and cured, and I like using therapies that help people feel better and live better. I always try to respectfully, actively and collaboratively engage my patients in their own care.
I am warm and caring, inquisitive and curious – and highly motivated to deliver the best care. Because I empathize with my patients, I work as hard as I can to improve their health and their quality of life.
In his free time, Dr. Pedersen enjoys mountain biking, skiing, water-skiing and participating in public educational programs for the Crohn’s and Colitis Association of America."

Reviews
Very good
I always have a pleasant visit when I have to go for my appointment with Dr. Pedersen. He is very thorough and knowledgeable about my history. I don’t have to worry about anything when I get a call to come in for my usual routine check. I would recommend him to everyone that I speak to.
I love Dr. Pederson. I only meet once a year but he always takes time to talk to me and go over any concerns I have . I highly recommend him .
Great experience with a doctor who takes the time to talk to you.
I first saw Dr Pedersen in 2023. I was impressed with how he listened to my concerns and addressed every one of them. Prior to that, I’d had a horrible and painful colonoscopy elsewhere with a different doctor and had avoided another for many years and was quite frightened. Dr Pedersen was gentle, thorough, and kind. Now, a year later, I knew I could trust him and again received thorough advice to solve my problem and move forward. I have recommended him to all my family and friends. And to anyone reading this review. Thank you, Dr Pedersen.
