Although it took a long time to get my first appointment with Dr. Peters, I would like to say that I can’t remember a nicer group of people — from the front desk to the doctor’s aids/nurses, and also Dr. Peters himself — in any doctor’s office. Dr. Peters strikes me as bright, thorough, engaged and highly competent(yes, all doctors should be that way, but sadly, many are not). Equally important in my book is the fact that he is warm, compassionate and respectful of how you want to handle your own issues. Though I am not yet a senior, I am grateful that we have such a man to handle a practice of what is probably mainly seniors, as this group of people(my mother among them) deserves and needs a kind, gentle and thoughtful person to deal with their pain and health issues. On my first visit, Dr. Peters was running well behind schedule, and actually seemed genuinely sorry and quite embarrassed about this — not like most doctors who ALWAYS keep you waiting and seem to feel it it their god-given right to waste your time(though god forbid you waste a moment of theirs!). Though this may seem like a small point, it says something important about him, in my opinion, which I would say comes down to a deep regard for other human beings. Many busy professionals — not just doctors — could take a page from this man! There is also a nurse named Susan who draws blood and such for Dr. Peters, and she is a true joy to be around. Really, you are in great hands in this office… we are very lucky to have these people in Redding.
