"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."

Dr. Pedersen is knowledgeable about the gut. He includes his patient in the plan of care. He is not only smart but kind & has always made me feel at ease. He's done many colonoscopies on me & his sense of humor is wonderful. I've aged in these 20+ years, into a senior. And I appreciate all the care he's given me.

"I’ve been with Dr. Pedersen for 16 years now. I’m 50 years old I got diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 24 years old. Before finding Dr. Pedersen I had at least six different gastroenterologist in the Davis county area. And I can honestly say none of them were even close to the caliber of Dr. Pedersen. When one of them that I had seen before asked me how I was feeling and I said about 70% he said, well that’s better than 60%. Very frustrating to hear. The first time I met with Dr. Pedersen he looked me in the eye and said we fight this disease together. And he has done that with me for the last 16 years. He treats you like an equal never condescending, never looks down on you and is genuinely interested in how you are feeling and is personable which is definitely a plus. He is a great doctor and it wouldn’t be fair at all if I didn’t mention the nurse that as is his right hand, Whitney. Whitney is solid she always calls back and she always gets the job done whether it be a health or finance question, never leave you hanging at all. She is A+ just like dr. Pedersen. Together they make an awesome team. I wouldn’t want to be with anybody else. I can’t say enough good things about both of them. My life wouldn’t be the same without them. They literally helped me get my life back when my Crohn’s disease was at its worst."
"I've seen Dr Pedersen for years and have always received the best of care. I would recommend him to my family and friends."

"Dr Pederson always listens carefully to any questions or concerns and is always ready to explain things so I can understand and he has a caring bedside manner I am grateful to have found him."
"My experience with Dr. Pedersen was fantastic! He has an excellent bedside manner. Before the day of the procedure, Dr. Pederson told me everything that would happen. It went just as he said it would. Dr. Pederson made me feel entirely at ease with the entire process. He answered every question entirely, and in terms I understood. Dr Pederson is very informed about my past issues and he has addressed them with compassion and concern. Whitney is very caring and makes all testing and appointments very simple to get done. Thank you, to Dr Pedersen and your staff."
