After working with other offices in the past for my seizure activity, this has been the absolute best office/clinic I have been to. I am greeted nicely, I am treated nicely while there, I do not feel that I am being rushed when I have many questions about what is going on (since I just recently had a seizure study done and have many), I leave with my questions answered. I feel like a patient who matters.

I was unsure of how I would feel with my past doctor leaving so I didn't know if I would still be comfortable being cared for here. But Dr. Peters was with us for over 30 minutes and took time to listen to my medical history and concerns and I didn't feel rushed. I don't like it when people read information on records of mine and feel like they know everything. I felt a lot better meeting her.

I am so glad that I have Dr. Peters on my health care team, she is very skilled and understanding of my health issues, I like that I am very much included in the health care decisions we make. Dr. Peters or an MA from her department are easy to get in touch with through "MY Chart" if I have questions or issues.

Dr Angela Peters is awesome. She takes the time to explain all aspects of the discussion. She answers all of our questions and does not act like we are just a number and trying to rush us through like many doctors seem to. Either she remembers _____ or takes the time to read the notes before she comes into the room as she knows exactly all the conditions of _____ case and does not ask redundant questions that are in the case notes. This is refreshing as many doctors re-ask the same questions, showing they did not read the notes to become familiar with the patient. Thank you for that. Dr Peters is very smart and we appreciate that. We get polite but blunt answers as that is what we want. We've been battling this issue for 13 years and need answers. Thank you. Give her a raise.
