We appreciate the option for virtual visits. Our family is high risk with the COVID and have stayed home and in our county for safety. We live 300 miles away from the clinic and are nervous for the drive and staying in a hotel. This has been very helpful and the communication through MyChart and phones worked well.

I am grateful that Dr. Peters is my new doctor. She explain to me different kinds of treatments for my epilepsy. Also expressed concern about the cavernous malformations that might be contributing to the new seizures I have been having. It's been a while since I have felt I could trust a doctor with my epilepsy.

Dr. Peters gave me hope for the first time that I might be able to find medication to control epilepsy that will not effect my quality of life.
