About PJ Pedersen, M.D.
“I was attracted to the intellectual challenges of GI disease such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease and liver disease. I love having the opportunity to perform endoscopic procedures and work collaboratively with other specialists to give patients the best possible care and results.
“I love the preventive care opportunities in colon cancer screening – stopping cancer before it starts. So many GI diseases can be treated and cured, and I like using therapies that help people feel better and live better. I always try to respectfully, actively and collaboratively engage my patients in their own care.
“I am warm and caring, inquisitive and curious – and highly motivated to deliver the best care. Because I empathize with my patients, I work as hard as I can to improve their health and their quality of life.”
In his free time, Dr. Pedersen enjoys mountain biking, skiing, water-skiing and participating in public educational programs for the Crohn’s and Colitis Association of America.

Reviews
Dr. Pedersen and his staff were great. Everyone was very pleasant. I was able to get answers to the questions I had. I did not have a long wait time to get back to a room, and Dr. Pedersen came in shortly after I got to the exam room. Dr. Pedersen has a great personality and was very personable. Thanks to him and his office staff for a nice first visit!
Had a great experience, everyone was kind and friendly. Dr. Pedersen was more than informative a d obviously cared about my well being. Wouldn't go ahead with any procedures until I had clearance from my other Dr's ro give the green light. That was pretty cool.
Thank you very much for your wonderful care!
All excellent
Dr. Pedersen is an incredibly genuine listener to his patients. As he talks with you it is immediately clear that he is a knowledgeable and talented doctor.
