Click here to view Dr. Petteruti's Curriculum Vitae.
A second-generation family doctor, Dr. Petteruti started off pursuing his goal of being a holistic provider of medicine, starting his medical training in Osteopathic Medicine. After graduating with honors, he became attracted to weight loss medicine, which began a career-long interest in areas not commonly pursued by most doctors. It’s that curiosity that drove him to become board certified in Bariatric Medicine to complement his board certification in Family Medicine. It is this unique training combined with his own native intellect that has given Dr. Petteruti the ability to help his patients with problems that most physicians do not fully understand.
“Too often in medicine” says Dr. Petteruti, “we are left pursuing well worn pathways and if the patient’s condition doesn’t comfortably fit into that pathway, we feel incapable of helping them. The patients tell us what they need and what they need is to feel better, live longer, and live better. That’s the passion that drives my practice.”
Dr. Petteruti has been pursuing that passion for more than 20 years, bringing a hard to find combination of empathy, intellect, clinical and didactic experience to help change the lives of his patients. His approach is holistic, comprehensive, complete and driven to pursue the solutions to the most difficult of problems.
