  • Angela Peters, MD joined the Epilepsy Division as faculty in 2015. She currently holds a position as an assistant professor of neurology, is a diplomate of the American Academy of Neurology, and Fellow in the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society. She specializes in epilepsy and neurophysiology. She currently sees patients at the University of Utah with medically intractable epilepsy who might be surgical candidates and performs programming for responsive neurostimulation and DBS. She is a member of the American Epilepsy Society, American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, American Medical Association, and a board member for the Epilepsy Foundation. She did her medical training at Baylor College of Medicine and her neurology residency and neurophysiology fellowship at the University of Utah. She did an observership in surgical epilepsy at Cleveland Clinic and a predoctoral fellowship in retinal neurophysiology at the Retina Foundation of the Southwest. She has a research interest in autoimmune mediated epilepsies, catamenial epilepsy, TBI and epilepsy, and specialized neurophysiology techniques used in research. She has a special interest in medical ethics, especially as it relates to neurostimulation, and sits on the Hospital Ethics Committee.

    Upon our first appointment for consultation, Dr. Peters had questions for us already, a possible medication change up that may help, as well as plans to get us back in 4-6 weeks for a week long inpatient study.

    Very knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. We travel to see her and she always trys to coordinate to our needs. When we do see her, she knows her stuff, and explains to us to make sure we do too. We always have a care plan when we leave. And we also know if we need to contact her between appointments she is prompt at responding to my chart and willing to answer any questions we might have arise.
