She's great in her field and I trust her expertise.
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.
She's easy to talk to, thorough in her explanations and makes sure you understand the diagnoses and/or procedures.
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.

Very Kind and Very Understanding about my health issue Challenging problwm
Dr Peters kept up on my RNS device to help me know that where its at right now is keeping me seizure free.
We love Dr. Peters. She is very professional, friendly, and most obviously a brilliant doctor.
We are transitioning from pediatric to adult neurology and she was very helpful and thorough.
Dr. Peters is amazing and I am fortunate to be one of her patients. I am trusting her with a lot, but have every confidence in her.
I have been consulting with Dr.Peters for 4 years. She's amazing and listens to the story carefully. The first time I met Dr. Peters made me feel comfortable and I was able to share my Health history freely. She's great at work and has a smiling face always. She's one of the best doctors! Presently, I'm pregnant and she's extra careful about my medicines, and treatment, and gives the best advice as always.
Awesome!
I trust and value Angela as a doctor. She has kindness and takes time with me as a person. When I leave I am confident in here assessment. Bravo
Wonderful!
With Dr. Peters it always feels like my circumstances are being considered and anything that needs a resolution is not being dismissed. There's a level of engagement that I have often not experienced at similar appointments with others. I leave feeling like I've been treated rather than been dealt with. This appointment had to deal with circumstances I hadn't experienced for long and the approach taken was one that I could understand and make sense of. In many ways it was a relief to receive this treatment as it created the feeling that I have the possibility of reversing deteriorating circumstances.
Angela Peters is the best for everything she does ,explaining and tKing time not rushing me with her time and my appointment, thank Doctor Peters
Thanks
Dr. Peter's was very thorough, listened to and answered my litany of questions and was a wellspring of knowledge and shared information. I did not feel rushed and she was very approachable and conversant. I felt that I was being included in deciding the direction my medical care and treatment would take instead of being told what to do. It was a VERY REFRESHING experience!
His VNS battery was found dead and he was immediately scheduled for the following Monday for surgery to replace it.
Dr. Peters is great
We never had any bad experiences!
I've already referred others of U of U, the neuroscience department, & of Dr Peters, Dr Barkan, & of Sherri Combe.
Dr. Peters always makes me feel very well taken care of
Two other health professionals up at the U told me a meditation that had been controlling my Seizures that the insurance stopped paying for. I wouldn't be able to get. I spoke to the insurance and found that they would pay for it, upon a call to them from care professional. I was told I don't know what I was talking about. One visit with this Dr. And two days later she had it taken care of in two days.
Everything was great
Really great experience thank you.
We love how Dr Peters seems so invested in my & cares & concerns & makes me realize I need to keep in touch with her when I plan to travel
it was good to talk about my care and to follow the instructions
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 and Dr. Johnson were both very informative and took the time to answer all of my questions, we went over treatment options and I felt very well taken care of.
Although getting on to Zoom for my first time was a little difficult, I enjoyed having a virtual meeting. Dr. Angela Peter's was very nice and involved me in all of the decision making.
Dr. Peters is the best physician I've ever had.
Like I said I'm my prior comment, this visit was awesome and so easy!
Dr Peters answers all of my questions. I feel very involved in my course of treatment, which is something I havent felt in the past. We have discussed a multitude of paths forward. I am very happy in Dr Peters care.
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.
