Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A most exceptional Dr. That is Dr. Peters
He checked every possible bit of how my spine was working or i should say not working properly. And arms and legs. He's a well rounded Dr. Easy to talk to and takes time to show he cares. I loved going to Dr. Peters

I can walk because of Peters
Doctor Peters is by far the best doctor I’ve ever had, and I’ve had at least 25 specialists and gps over the years. I was diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, now known as Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome, also known as the “Suicide Disease.” It took years of treatment but with his expertise, I finally was left my crutches behind when before I was heading towards a wheelchair. Doctor Peters is compassionate and caring, always asking about my depression, stress at work and remembering things I mentioned years before. Additionally, if you show your true self to him he’ll reveal himself to you, demonstrating a hilarious sense of humor and a humbleness matched by no other. During a visit I reported having very odd and painful symptoms not related to RSD. He took me very seriously. His exact words were, “I’m not smart enough to diagnose this but I know who is.” A week later my rheumatologist diagnosed me with Ankylosing Spondylitis. I owe this man my life.

A Dr that truly cares for his patients
Dr Peters truly cares about his patients and their well being. He has always been very kind and professional, yet also strict about his drug policy which I like that about him. The nurse practitioners have always been superb as well and care just as much as Dr. Peters. The staff have always treated me very kindly And friendly as well. I can't say enough good things about Dr peters and his office. Before my mother passed away from cancer. She was also a patient of his and she adored him as well.

I leave this with you Dr. Lawrence, Peters MD in Pain Management is a One in a Lifetime Doctor That Truly Cares About ALL His Patients and Will Go Above and Beyond and Advocate for US ALL! I've been with Dr.Peters for 20+ years when his Pain Clinic was in the St Elizabeth Hospial before he moved His Clinic to it's current location now. My husband went to Iraq so Daughters took me to my appointments he took the time to talk to them and answer any questions they had to put them at ease. Then a New Device came out the First Spinal Cord Stemulater and he wanted me to try it to see if it helped with the pain it was a trial and would able move around easily so he sent a Red Cross Message then he needed to talk to my husband's Commander at 12am to get him home and it did, just sorry it didn't work. Dr. Peters is always seeking Ideas from other Colleagues furthering his Knowledge. So this Should tell you how much I Trust Dr. Peters and that he works Well with my other Doctors and is Highly Respected by Them. Dr. Peters is also Highly Respected in the Legal Field by Judges because he Advocates for his Patients by writing letters and being on Conference Calls etc. Honored, Grateful, Inspired, and Compassionate is ALL I can say! So YES I Would Tell Anyone and Everyone I Recommend Dr. LAWRENCE, PETERS MD Pain Management Specialist

Very professional and caring team. If it wasn’t for them and their expertise I would probably be on disability. Due to Dr. Peters experience and understanding I am able to work my full time job north of 40 hrs a week and take care of my wife and son.

Dr. Peters is a wonderful doctor and person!! I have the utmost respect and trust for him not only as a physician but as a person!! He’s also very caring and compassionate! He has provided me with excellent care for over 20 years which has made my quality of life 100% better! He was my father’s and my grandmother’s physician when they both were diagnosed with cancer and they both spoke very highly of Dr. Peters! Dr. Peters staff are very helpful and friendly! I can assure that if there are any issues with Dr. Peters it is the fault of a patient and not on Dr. Peters due to his expertise!

Great doctor and NP but not so great staff.
I've been a chronic pain patient for years. I've had good and bad doctors. Dr. Peters is straight forward and professional. I love Charnae as my NP. My biggest issue is getting the correct medication as many aren't made the same because of changes in generic and brands. I'm in pain now and I have been begging Jane to give me a call back. I had a month of hydrocodone that didn't give me any relief at all. I have Cancer and I'm being ignored. I'm not trying to be a nag, I just want to be able to walk and do normal things. Some of the office workers don't seem to care anymore. I still recommend this as a good place for help without over medicating you and they have very good advice for treatment. The phones are never answered, and the communication needs a ton of improvement.

I would highly recommend anyone I care about to go
Dr. Peters is the most thorough doctor that I have ever seen (& I have seen many). He truly listens to me and not just assume he knows me better. He takes his time and will listen as along as I need to talk. He not only gives me one option on a future patient plan, he gives me options and who could ask for more. I have also had the pleasure of seeing his Nurse Practitioners, they also show care, concern and take their time with me. I would recommend anyone I care about to go to this practice.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Peters regularly for about 5-6 yrs now. He’s always been an amazing, thorough doctor, but I also think his current two Providers, Nurse Practitioners Chandra & Genesis, are super great, as well! I haven’t had the pleasure, of seeing Chandra as a patient myself, but I have it on very good authority that her regular patients love her. I see Genesis most of the time and I never regret it. She’s always very friendly and personable, also super smart, detail-oriented, yet open-minded. She’s always willing to give her expertise but also never forgets to actually listen. Now if only they could keep a better, friendlier, more caring(?), more empathetic(?)..? General Staff? idk.. it just feels like most of the staff hate their job. There’s one person, Jane, that actually knows what she’s doing, does her job well, and is also friendly and respectful when speaking as well. Poor lady needs a raise, I can say that for sure!
