Dr. Peck is very direct and won’t BS you, and her sense of humor is very much appreciated. She has helped me so much, when male surgeons were sending me for MRIs, physical therapy and injections that were unnecessary and didn’t work, while NOT ordering tests that actually determined where the pain was coming from.
Dr Peck took time to discuss options pro and con. Knowledgeable about cause and treatment plan and timing.
Felt very comfortable with her. She explained everything
We love how she takes the time to listen to us and focus on all aspects of the issue!

I think Dr Peck is a wonderful Dr. I recommend her to my sister. She's so friendly and so kind. Takes her time with me.
I had an injection in my hand. The last time I had one, was another doctor at another place. It was very painful. Dr Peck was very gentle and it didn't even hurt! Very friendly & personable! So glad I switched!
Brilliant, easy to communicate with. She treats her patients with care and understanding. Would highly recommend her to anyone!
Listened to my issues, made me feel comfortable. Explained in detail my surgical options. Very approachable.
