FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Dr. Bret Peterson of the Orthopaedic & Spine Center of the Rockies (OCR) has achieved board certification in orthopaedic surgery.
Dr. Peterson recently passed his board certification examination administered by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. The exam consists of a lengthy written exam and an intensive interview and review of patients’ surgeries.
He has patient appointments at OCR’s offices in in Fort Collins and Loveland.
