Dr. Peck was delightful. And made the injection as painless as possible. Not possible 😵💫
She's the best! She's highly skilled & takes the best course of action by discussing all possibilities & she always listens♥️
I found her to be personable and compassionate. She didn’t assume surgery was the only option which I loved.
