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.

Patient Rating

5.0 /5
( out of 59 reviews )

The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers.

The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTER

Dr Peters kept up on my RNS device to help me know that where its at right now is keeping me seizure free.

CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTER

very nice listened to my concerns explained in a easy to understand manner

CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTER

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

CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTER

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.
