Amazing Dr! Honest and caring !
Outstanding knowledge, skills, and bedside manner. Dr. Peck gives me great confidence that I will have a complete recovery and be back to doing the things. I love soon.
What a delightful surgeon and fellow. I am so pleased I found Dr. Peck and look forward to seeing her again for assistance with my medical needs!
She was very nice and understanding. She was willing to make compromise to my situation. Her staff are very friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend her.
Dr Peck is extremely knowledgable, respectful, informative and personable. Great doctor who I trust and respect.
Just the best! I had carpal tunnel release and cubital tunnel release and was back to work in my office two days later and nine days out the therapy staff showed me exercises to do to help with the healing. Out of all my other surgeries in life I’ve never bounced back so quickly and that’s saying a lot! So thankful for dr Peck and her team they’re just outstanding!!
That office is so friendly and helpful. Dr. peck is a sweetheart. Knows her stuff!
Great doctor! Treats you like a good friend.
What an experience. First I’m told my rotator cuff is on the opposite side of where it should be, followed by the assurance that it is a condition, that can be repaired. That is “from the agony, to the ecstasy “ , in very short order.
Love Dr Peck! Very nice and personable!
