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.

In a big hurry!
Doctor made me feel unimportant. Seemed to be in a big hurry, didn't seem to want questions. I didn't feel as though I had a very thorough exam. This visit was unlike any I've had with other ophthalmologists. I am looking for a new doctor for ongoing glaucoma issues and my first cataract surgery. I don't feel that I can trust him with my precious eyesight.

Exceptional Opthalmologist
Dr. Peters has been my trusted opthalmologist for @ 8 years. I am a retired RN, who has worked with plenty of highly educated physicians. I particularly value Dr. Peters’ broad knowledge base, skills, and kindness! Critical follow-up care was received during my 2 separate bouts of bilateral posterior vitreous detachments. Moreover, through the years, I’ve been impressed by the minimal waiting time I’ve experienced in his comfortable, spacious office and grateful for his thoughtful, considerate staff.

Cataract removal
WOW! This Dr. is sensational in his practice. I now can see the world in a better light. My first visit he thoroughly explained the Cataract removal procedure and explained the lens he would be inserting and how I could purchase the lens that would almost guarantee 20/20 vision, but recommended the standard ones since my vision is still good and that I am 79. He not only explained the do's and don'ts but also the Why's. I would proudly recommend Dr Peters and if there were 10 stars, I would've given him 10. He has a great sense of humor, he's serious about his patients & doesn't fool around. He knows your there for medical care and tries to make you comfortable and you visit short. Even at the surgery desk sign in with the paperwork and all, I never had to wait more than 10 minutes. NOW THAT'S PROFFESIONALISM

Dr. Peters provides excellent treatment and puts the patient at ease. It is obvious he cares about his patients. He is especially good with my elderly Mother. His office is very nice and his staff are wonderful.

Ophthalmologists of the country could take lessons from this gentleman. He is extremely professional, personable, knowledgeable and energetic. He answered all of my questions completely. His surgery gave me near perfect vision and, Oh yes, I forgot, the rumor is that he walks on water. I have not see this, but, I BELIEVE! TDM

Dr. Peters performed cataract surgeries on both my eyes. He is a great doctor and surgeon and I highly recommend him. I would not go to any other eye doctor. If there is one caveat about him, it is that he tends to be speedy in office visits so you have to be ready with any questions you might have or he is already on his way out of the room. The office and staff are very nice.
