Dr. Peters is like no other doctor that I have ever had. He is confident without being egotistical. He is very intelligent, yet is able to communicate the process and procedures in terms that anyone can understand. He explained the various procedures that are available and makes you take a test to show that you understand the seriousness of the procedure. He stresses that aftercare is important and that you must meet with a dietian prior to the surgery. He shows a true concern for his patients.His wife Robbie (Nurse and office manager) did all the work with dealing with insurance company (BC/BS) and got me approved without any appeals or problems. He comes to the support group meetings for his patients and is there when you need him. Dr. Peters is a straight shooter, he tells it like it is, and I greatly respect that of him.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR PETERS WAS ONE OF ADMIRATION. HE SEEMED LIKE A REALLY DOWN TO EARTH HONEST MAN.
HIS OFFICE STAFF, HIS WIFE ROBBIE COULD NOT BE ANY MORE HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY.
DR PETERS TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, HE HOLDS NOTHING BACK I ADMIRE THAT ABOUT HIM, AND BEING A NURSE MYSELF I APPRECIATE HIS HONESTY. HE EMPHASIZES AFTERCARE FOR LIFE TO WHICH I WILL RESPECT HIM AND FOLLOW.
I RATE DR PETERS A 10/10!
HE HASN'T DONE SURGERY AS OF YET, HOWEVER I MADE ONE REQUEST OF HIM, "PLEASE MAKE MY INCICION STRAIGHT" HE SAID HE WOULD SEE WHAT HE COULD DO!
I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL MY SURGERY DATE COMES!!

Dr.Peters and Robbie
These are the two sweetest people who you want to take care of you for a journey like this. Robbie knows her stuff and she is always so cheerful even when she is sick. :)
Dr.P is to the point but very much into whatever you have to say. He says he will be there for me 24-7 after surgery...that sure makes me feel alot better and I just can't wait to show my new self off to others and make Dr.P proud of the new me.

I emailed Dr. Peters amd he called me back the next day! I really liked the fact he called me back, shows me he wants to know his patients not just have a assembly line type practice. I have my appointment for my first consult on June 6th! I can't wait to get started.

he seems very big on before and after care. and whether you like it or not he tells you all about the risks involved. if i had to rate him on a scale of 1-10 he is a 12!!

I am so excited about this surgery since I met Dr. Peters, I feel for the first time in years like I may see my children grow up!!!
Not only has Dr. Peters been brutally honest but he has been kind and careing! I feel like someone special. He and his wife Robbie take the time to help me with my insurance whenever I need them. IKNOW THIS WILL HAPPEN SOON!!!!!!!!!!! They have seen me through three appeals so far and every time the insurance asks for more they send it, I hope to get approval in the next two weeks ( 9-01 ) ,and I'll let them know first of all. If his aftercare is anything like his preop I know I've made the right decision when I chose their practice. Update Surgery 3/18/02 My opinion of Dr Peters has only improved since my last posting! It's been six weeks and even though Im not 100% yet I feel stronger every day. If you are looking for a surgeon He is number one in my book, this is the best choice I ever made !

MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS HE WAS VERY NICE,HE ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION I HAD NO MATTER HOW STUPID IT WAS. HE TREATED ME LIKE I WAS SPECIAL, EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE THE BEST MEDICAL COVERAGE THERE IS.HIS OFFICE STAFF IS THE BEST!!1(ROBBIE IS HER NAME!) SHE WENT OUT OF HER WAY TO GET ME APPROVED WHEN MY INSURANCE WAS GIVING ME A HARD TIME.HE ALWAYS REMINDS PEOPLE THAT AFTERCARE IS VERY IMPORTANT! YOU HAVE TO BE CHECKED REGULARLY TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OK.HE HAS A SUPPORT GROUP YOU CAN GO TO EVERY MONTH, THAT HE ENCOURAGES EVERYONE TO GO TO.DR. PETERS AND HIS STAFF GET AN A ALL THE WAY IN MY BOOK!!!! MARCY

Dr Peters is the most personable, most knowlegable, nicest doctor, I have ever met...I trust hi m completely...His nurse/wife is the sweetest person in the world. She put up with me calling all the time with my concerns and questions...Together they are the best! But don't think he's going to sugar-coat ANYTHING!! He is straight forward about this being a very serious operation, and should not be taken lightly...He even gives you a test that you have to pass before he will agree to your surgery. It's almost as if you have to know this surgery inside and out before he will even consider starting the paper work. But that is really a good thing...You should definetely know everything about this before your jump in head-first!!

My first impression of Dr Peters is that he knew what he was talking about and he really listens to your concerns and is very straight forward with his answers. I have my second appointment on Oct. 18 so I will keep in touch with my road ahead. I would give Dr. Peters a 9 because nobody is perfect. I had my second appointment on Oct.18 and Dr. Peters informed me that I seem ready for this surgery and that he would perform it. So the rest was up to Robbie my impression of her is that she is very caring and she knows what she is doing with getting you approved by the insurance companies. It only took about a week and half to be approved and yesterday the 15th of Nov. I got my pre-op tests at Moses Taylor hospital and seen my family doctor for the physical so now I am just waiting for my surgery which is Dec.10th. For anybody thinking of having this surgery I would fully recommend Dr. Peters I will come back after surgery to tell you about it
