Patient Stories

I had been dealing with really painful cycles for quite some time, and every doctor I saw wanted to put me on some form of birth control — which wasn’t something I wanted to do. I was so lucky to find Vera Health.

From the moment I met Dr. Peterson, her energy was infectious. She was full of joy, excited to dig in, and genuinely ready to figure out what was going on and fix the problem. After a series of tests, she suspected endometriosis, and I was quickly able to get in for surgery with her. I felt completely at peace with her plan and with her performing the procedure. I knew she had my best interests in mind and would do everything she could to help.

After surgery, endometriosis was removed, and while recovery was a journey, Dr. Peterson was there every step of the way — recommending dietary changes and supplements, referring me to pelvic floor therapy, and guiding me through all the different pieces that helped me heal completely.

About a year after surgery, I was able to get pregnant with our first son, who is now almost nine months old. That was the biggest blessing, and I’m so grateful to have had Dr. Peterson with me throughout — monitoring the early pregnancy closely and giving me peace of mind every step of the way.

I am truly thankful for everything Vera did, and I would absolutely recommend seeing Dr. Peterson to anyone who needs help.
