Dr Peters performed a total knee replacement for me nearly two years ago in September. After 2 months of rehab, I was able to join my family snow skiing, playing tennis and pickleball with no pain what so ever. I feel very lucky to have Dr Peters as my orthopedic surgeon.

Very efficient and thorough with his examination of my knee. Had surgery 2 years ago and it was very successful. He always takes the time to make sure you understand your situation.

In a word - fantastic. Very easy to work with and was willing to adequately manage the pain after total knee replacement. Something that is not a given these days. And Caitlin - his assistant - was outstanding as well!

Professional, knowledgeable, excellent surgical skills—obviously has dedicated his life to helping others prevent being structurally disabled. A fine man who truly cares about his patients and their needs. Establishes a sense of trust that helps address surgical fears. I am grateful to have him as my surgeon. He also has an excellent team.
