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
Great experience with Dr Pedersen. He had already reviewed my past 2 CT scans and we talked for a long time about what he thought best. A great conversation.
My appointment got canceled. They were able to find a spot in their schedule and fit me in. They called Dr. Pedersen back to the hospital and he was happy to do the procedure.
Great treatment hi fi everyone
Great doctor. Would recommend Dr Pedersen to everyone
I was scared and worried before colonoscopy but doctor Pedersen and his team make this like walking in park. First class service and procedure!
