Snow Petersen, MD, MPH
General Surgery

Dr. Snow Petersen is a General Surgeon who is dedicated to helping people, which for her there is nothing better.  As a child, Dr. Petersen was fascinated by the science of the human body, and later as a professional snowboarder, she discovered her natural instincts as a leader and a healer when those around her suffered from injuries and illnesses. These qualities drew her to a career in general surgery, which allows her to use her pursuit of medical knowledge and her athleticism to heal others.  As a general surgeon in rural New Mexico, Dr. Petersen is “living a dream” working in a medical community that treats patients as one should treat yourself or your loved ones.   When not working, she and her husband love being outdoors, hiking, and exploring New Mexico, as well as cooking at home and trying out new recipes.

Dedicated, passionate, and deeply committed to her work, Dorcas is well known for providing exceptional patient care and helping individuals recover from their injuries and illnesses, which is most rewarding for her.  Dorcas is an indispensable part of our team, balancing her busy schedule between her hospital work and her outpatient clinic responsibilities, always striving to deliver the highest standard of care in both settings. In what little downtime there is, she enjoys leisurely activities such as reading and crochet, but she also continues to demonstrate her dedication by training others in critical healthcare skills such as ACLS, PALS, BLS, Neonatal Resuscitation, and Rhythm Recognition.
