Overview
I received my M.D. from Temple University in Philadelphia and then completed my residency in urology at the University of Michigan in 1989. I remained on faculty at Michigan and rose to the academic rank of Professor and was the Edward J. McGuire Research Professor. In 2016, I joined the faculty as Professor of Urology in the Department of Surgery at the University of Utah. I am delighted to join the Urology team here at Duke. My main area of clinical interest is in both the surgical and medical management of kidney stone disease. I also have an interest in medical education and have devoted my professional life to both of these endeavors. I have authored over 120 articles and have been honored by being named to the University of Michigan League of Medical Educators and to the University of Utah School of Medicine Academy of Health Science Educators.

Duke Ambulatory Surgery Center
My clinical interests include the minimally invasive management of urinary tract stones, including shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous, and ureteroscopic stone removal. I completed my training at the University of North Carolina in 1983 and was an American Urological Association Scholar (1983-1985) in the Division of Mineral Metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas. In 1993, I returned to North Carolina as professor of urological surgery and director of the Duke Comprehensive Kidney Stone Center.

Duke Cancer Center Genitourinary (GU) Clinic
I specialize in the care of patients with urologic cancers – mainly prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer and testicular cancer. A cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things that can happen to someone. For many of our patients, they don’t necessarily feel different or look different, but they are scared to death. The most important thing you can get from Duke is real understanding of your particular case and what your options are. Knowledge is so reassuring and empowering for patients, especially those recently diagnosed with cancer. When you’re first diagnosed, you have to put your trust in a care team, and that’s hard to do if you don’t already know them. As the largest cancer center in North Carolina, Duke has great reputation and experience, which helps many patients chose Duke for their care. But we grow and develop our trust with patients because of who we are as people and how much expertise and care we bring to each case. Dr. George is highly rated in 17 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Prostate Cancer, Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), Familial Prostate Cancer, Nephrectomy, and Orchiectomy. Dr. George is currently accepting new patients.
Duke Urology Clinic - Clinic 1G
I’m a reconstructive urologic surgeon who also cares for cancer survivors. Cancer survivorship care focuses on providing patients and families relief from the symptoms, pain and distress that may develop after and during cancer therapy. I find it gratifying to help a patient that has a significant problem and increase their quality of life. I decided I wanted to go into medicine while in high school after feeling a sense of duty to serve those around me; this was the same calling that drew me to service in the military for 23 years. I came to Duke after my active duty service in the Army was completed in 2010 and since then, my family has really become a “Duke family.” We regularly attend Duke Football games and other sporting and social events. My wife also works here, my kids have expressed interest in attending college here and we all regularly wear the Duke blue colors on weekends. Dr. Peterson is highly rated in 21 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Stress Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Incontinence, Urethral Stricture, Reconstructive Urology Surgery, and Prostatectomy.
