Ian Peterson, PA

I was born and raised in Colorado and always knew it’d be back after school–there is no better place than home. I love being outdoors, whether it be skiing, hiking, swimming, playing tennis or golf, and playing with my yellow lab, Huxley.

My fascination with medicine began when I got to hold a human brain in my seventh-grade biology class. However, it wasn’t until I was diagnosed with diabetes that I knew which career path to pursue. The experience made me realize how much care time was spent with Physician Assistants (PAs), and I wanted to follow the same route so I could have significant patient interactions.

Helping others is my passion, and I strive to make patients feel valued, heard, and assisted throughout their care journey.
