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.

So confident in his abilities that I'm going back for new issues!

A+ Doctor
1/18/23 Dr. Peek fixed my husband's spine A-4,A-5 and a blockage. Before & after surgery he was so patient with us-asking if we had any questions, he did not rush us, it felt like we were old friends. I also called his office a few days after surgery and Dr. Peek & his staff were so helpful. My husband called a few days later with more questions and again they were nice to him and answered all his questions empathetically.

The most amazing physician I have ever met.
They were running a bit behind (nothing like most doctors) but I would wait for him all day if I needed to.

Awesome doctor
Dr. Peek is one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen. He tries to help you heal without undergoing surgery. He explains what is going on, why you are experiencing the symptoms you have, and the interventions to help heal. I was out of my appointment quickly because Dr. Peek was waiting for me in the exam room when I got there!! The best in the field!

Blessed
Always a good visit regardless of conditions. He's been my spine care doctor for five years, picked up where my surgeon left off, I've had lots of self inflicted injuries since to a major surgery to repair a lifetime of intrusive blunt truma accident, falls and drunk bumps (big ones) and poor lifting techniques Dr. Peek has kept my in a serviceable condition in spite of me~ he is blessed by God in his insight and understanding and his hands are blessed for surgery as well.

Dr. Peek has taken care of me for over ten years and I wouldn't have it any other way. He's been with me through multiple surgeries and makes sure I can function at the level I need to be at to stay happy despite my medical issues. He's skillful, knowledgeable, compassionate, and I wouldn't trust my spine health to anyone else.

Doctor Peek 5 stars all the way around. I didn't have to wait long, he was so friendly and very patient. He takes his time to explain everything to you and is extremely thorough. You'd be a fool not to give this man the five stars he deserves. His team is also very friendly, they work fast to get things done for you and are just so sweet.

It was very easy to get off on Fair Park Bld and turn into the clinic. We were met at the driveway and checked in by the parking attendant. Within two minutes of parking, we received a text to enter the building and register. In the ground floor lobby we were directed to go to the 2nd floor and let Dr. Peeks’ receptionist know we were there. In less than 5 minutes we were taken to a room and told Dr. Peek would be with us shortly and within another 5 minutes Dr. Peek arrived. I was pleased immediately with his demeanor and that he had already got a copy of my MRI and knew my problems. He took his time with me and we decided on a plan to address my pain. He was not “surgery happy” which I appreciate. He made himself available for future consultation to make sure I continued to be without pain. Dr. Peek is a kind man and has a great personality. I can’t attest to his surgical skills at this point, but I will say if it comes down to that conclusion, he will be the one to do it.

This experience exceeded my high expectations in literally every area - scheduling, friendliness, competence, process and cost. Dr Peek and the OA staff know what they are doing. The have my full and enthusiastic recommendation. I made one phone call, was scheduled the next day, filled out forms online, paid online, and was seen quickly after arrival. The quality of treatment and care given to me by staff and professionals was outstanding. I really can’t say enough.
