Sports Injuries
From ACL tears to overuse injuries, our sports medicine team helps athletes at every level recover fully and return to peak performance.
A knee replacement that
spares the muscle.
Dr. Peterson performs the Jiffy Knee™ — a complete total knee replacement done with a muscle- and tendon-sparing technique. Instead of cutting through the quadriceps tendon to reach the joint, specialized instruments lift the muscle and slide it aside, so only the skin and joint capsule are opened.
Same proven implant, far less disruption to the tissue you rely on to recover.
- Muscles and tendons are preserved, not cut
- A 4–6 inch incision, versus 10–12 inches traditionally
- Many patients are up and walking the same day
Every patient is different and individual results vary. Dr. Peterson will review whether the Jiffy Knee™ is appropriate for you.

What Our Patients Say
“I’ve been coming here for a few years now with my accident-prone athletes, and every experience has been amazing. I’ve had some very bad experiences with doctors in the past and honestly don’t care for most—but these doctors are the exception. They’re straightforward and only recommend what’s truly necessary, without pushing for extra scans or MRIs unless they’re needed. We’ve dealt with broken shoulders, heel issues, two broken arms for my 9-year-old, and most recently a grade 3 ankle sprain. Each time, they’ve seen us right away and provided exactly what we needed. Their staff is sweet and kind and you can tell the genuinely like their job. They introduce themselves by name. Stacey is so sweet. Dr. Peterson clearly explains what to expect—both the good and the bad—and always has a plan in place for either outcome. The office is well-run, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and gets you in and out quickly without long waits. I also love that they support their community—it really means a lot to see that. Update: I just tried another orthopedic office and they were so short and curt with me and made me feel like I hurt myself and shouldn't be working out at my age, 42 years old. It was heart wrenching. Basically said I shouldn't be in pain and I did this to myself with overuse and made me feel awful, even asked if I overdo everything, which my husband absolutely loved hearing, me not so much. I wanted to cry. I called this office and told them I had made a huge mistake by going somewhere else, they had me come in the next day, the results were the same but the care made all the difference in the world to me. Even going as far as saying x rays and mri's can miss things, let's try this and if that doesn't help then we have another option. Here they care about you and your wellbeing, they are gentle when they need to be and don't push hard on your bruises, they know they have to find your pain and again they are gentle. This office is further from me but so worth it. They are wonderful here and I won't be going anywhere else again. I learned my lesson. Thank you again Dr. Jeff Peterson, thanks for caring and helping me. 💓”

“I am very pleased so far with Dr Jeffrey Peterson. Everyone at the office is very nice also. I prayed for God to send me to the right surgeon and I feel I picked the right one. I’m having total knee replacement on my left knee November 24 then mayb 3 months later he will do my right knee. I’m so ready to quit hurting so bad finally. I feel confident that he can perform my surgery successfully. He told me that he will pray over me before surgery which made me feel good bout it all.”

“Dr. Peterson and his team at Pinacle Orthopedics are the best. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable about our health situation. Dr. Peterson is a wonderful doctor. He takes time to explain the situation and recommend treatment options. He doesn’t rush into worst case surgery scenarios, but instead works with us to find a best non-surgery solution. Dr. Peterson is very patient with us and we appreciate the time he spends with us. We were blessed to to know and have such a great doctor. Thank you Dr. Peterson and staff.”
