Dr. Matthew Luvern Petersen, DO

Saw my father in the emergency room. This is where he primarily works. Did a great job. I have to laugh when I read some of these reviews.

I saw him in the ER. He took great care of me.

Unfortunate that Cozad Hospital lets him do E.R Im on FULL disability for 3 things including uncontrolled diabetes and severe complications from back surgery with hardware (A judge spent many hours confirming this, thus was awarded) Have had years of pain and not finding a doc who has rx the right things that help at dose I need. Have needed er trips when it gets severe (LIKE TONIGHT) but cant go due to last visit.. He labeled me a drug seeker and had info in file from another dr (who was fired after two weeks) that absolutely was NOT TRUE. I have no ins no medacaid and cant get any treatment. I live in constant pain and don't even have a rx for insulin!! his visit left me without treatment for diabetes and pain. offered a anti inflammatory (which i was already takin high doses of aleve. refused to err on patient with disability and pinched nerves, boney spurs stenosis (lots more). I Cant even get to his clinic due to can't afford the upfront charges. I left ER barely able to walk in pain and will not go to er even if im dying due to fear of being treated like I was. He thinks people are looking to get high. He has no idea the harm and damage he has caused me because of how i was treated and his misinformation. Prolly does not even care. Had in records that I told other dr I was abusing me meds (same doc that said I had tuberculosis without confirming with the standard xray, ordered THREE mris on me within 10 days..of back except lower back where surgery was) I will prolly have liver complications from all the tylenol I have to take. He was down right rude and imo actuall aggressive twords me I don't write this "lightly" and my statements are factual. Yes I have had pain mngmt problems. Cant afford a pain specialist. and when drs don't understand that there are more effective pain meds then just given out 5mg of hydrocodone and like it or not for whatever reasons (chemical, biological..) they do little to nothing for someone and He needs training on understanding that I said it takes more than one pill that I had to take instead of the rx dose. Yes people drug seek. But when He accuses the ones who are not he has crossed a medical and ethical boundary In my opinion.
