Dr. Peters is a rare find in this new age of fast-pace medical care. He took such care and attention on my daughter's condition that I had no concerns over her procedures...and he's so kind -- you just can't help but feel that you're in good hands. I sure wish there were more like him!

Dr. Peters is simply AMAZING! We've gone through heck and back with our infant daughter and he has brought us encouragement, strength, kindness, and finally some answers! He is very therough and talks to you so you can understand everything. He is also very clear and patient. We come with a list of questions each visit and we never have to answer them because he is so good at his job he covers all of our questions before we need to answer them. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone that needs a Pediatric GI Dr!

We were late for our appt due to traffic and dr peters saw us during his lunch break so we wouldn't have to drive the distance for another appt. he was very caring and good with our son. Everyone was so nice when our son had his procedure and really accomidated him considering he has autism. Overall very good experience. We didn't get the answers we were hoping for but our son is a hard case.

I started with Dr. Peters when I was 17 and he kept me with him until I was 19. He was so gentle and caring. I wish all doctors could be like him. I miss seeing him. I recommend him to all children who are afraid of anything being done to them like this. He will put them at ease.
