Dr Peck is the greatest. MaryLou Taulbee
First time with Dr. Peck, she is very friendly and professional.
Very informative! Answered all my questions. I was only in the waiting room less than 5 minutes and did not wait in the exam room more than 2 minutes before Dr. Peck came in to see me! If only all doctors offices and doctors respected their patients time the way, Dr. Peck and her staff does!!!
Dr. Peck is always so kind, I love her honesty. My hand healing is a journey and I’m pleased with taking it with her as my hand surgeon.
Love her, she has been the kindest most considerate Doctor I have ever worked with. I recommend her to every one I know.
