Very knowledgeable, respectful and informative. Thank you. I appreciate the time you gave me.
She (and her whole office) are the most amazing people. Dr Peck is just unbelievably. I would send.anyone to that office and to Dr Peck specifically.
Exceptional surgeon!
Dr Peck was awesome. Very personable, easy to speak with and provided a couple of possible solutions to a persistent issue I’ve been having. Testing will tell more, but one of the most satisfying dr visits I’ve had in awhile, giving me much hope that we can find a solution and giving me a light at the end of the tunnel! Also, I brought an entourage and she engaged everyone understanding why they each were there and the value they brought to the conversation.
I love Dr Peck and her staff.. They are all genuine
She is an exceptional Surgeon. I’m happy to be back in her care
