This gentleman just didn’t seem to be genuinely interested in my overall retina health and my appointment with him felt rushed. Towards the end of the appointment he started talking about why I “shouldn’t wear contacts in case I get hit in the eye with a baseball at a baseball game” and he totally lost me in that conversation - AND I do not wear a contact in the eye that my Retina had detached in years ago, which was the eye I was concerned about… I was not there to ask about contact lens whatsoever. At that point, I knew that I would not be returning.

Dr Peters gave me a good explanation of what was going on with my eye in a way I could understand.

He is always very through and friendly. His staff is also very friendly and through. You could not ask for a better doctor or office.

Dr. Peters introduced himself, but was so hurried. He was in & out & the few comments I did make, he was dismissive about. He didn't ask if I had any questions so I had to ask 1 of the techs. Also, the manner in which he administered the injection was in no way easy or cautious. Like a bull in a china shop!

I like Dr.Peters as far as him being a professional doctor, but I don’t know why but him and some of the staff were in a hurry to leave the office. My eye that had gotten an injection didn’t get washed out enough and before I got home my eye was in a bad burning pain. It’s 1:00 AM and my eye is still burning, vision blurred, throbbing pain. It’s like where get sand in your eye. Going to wash eye out again and go to bed. Eye still throbbing. Sorry to complain, but it hurts.
