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
Absolutely amazing! I dealt with stomach issues for years before I met Dr Pederesen and he was finally able to diagnose what was going on with me. He’s patient and really makes sure you understand all your options and the risks involved with each. His office is amazing too all the nurses there are super nice and helpful.
This is one of the best doctors ! Also, his staff (nurses) all are amazing. I would recommend Dr Pedersen to anyone !
Dr. Pedersen is very caring and knowledgeable. Overall, I had a really good experience. If I could give him and his office 100/10 I would!
Dr Pedersen and his staff are very interested in helping the patient. Dr is very informed about my past issues and he has addressed them with compassion and concern. His staff is very caring and they make all testing and appointments very simple to get done. Thank you, to all of Dr Pedersen and your staff! I will refer all family and friends.
Dr. PEDERSEN is an amazing caring doctor. He is very informative and will see things through. Even if it is something that is hard to find or figure out. He listens and believes what his patient is experiencing. I am very grateful for his caring and pro active nature. Use this doctor you will be very pleased.
