Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Peter's is not the same doctor as he was years ago. He's so rude and full of himself. He kept interrupting me and got mad at me for explaining my health issues. He Said I can only tell him one issue. Can't examine more than one problem. I had a bad cough and he wasn't going to examine me. He's an Ent. He's suppose to examine my throat etc. He was nasty. I will never go back to him. I need a doctor who is caring and listens. And will help me. Do not go to him He's horrible!

The Best
Dr. Peters is attentive and is interested in hearing your views. He really listens to what you say.I would highly recommend him. Not easy to get an appointment with him but he is worth the wait. Also his office staff is the best I have seen. They know what they are doing.

he's arrogant and seems to be bitter. Didn't like him at all, and was happy when the visit ended. Found a good doctor who is pleasant and easy to talk to. I avoided the surgery Peters wanted to do with non-invasive treatment

Doctor Peters is an outstanding Doctor. He is so thorough in every aspect of his care from the pre op office visits through the surgery and hospital stay and all the after care. He is a wonderful and meticulous doctor but in addition is kind, caring and compassionate. We could not have made a better choice in selecting Dr Peters to perform my husband’s thyroid surgery. If you are looking for an E N T look no further than Dr. Peters. He is by far the best !

Dr. Peters was very pleasant, knowledgeable and sympathetic to my problem. He was my father's doctor for over 20 yrs. And I trust him completely. His office staff are very personable and helpful. I have already recommended him to a friend who is in need of a reputable ENT.

My wife had been to Dr. Peters a few years ago for a major ENT Concern involving my wife. He was great with her treatment, and eventually guided her to Thomas Jefferson University Physicians and Hospital, in Philadelphia for treatment. The end result was amazingly positive. I was encountering several ENT Issues recently and was able to set-up an appointment with Dr. Peters for late May. His quick analysis and treatment of my ENT Issues was superb. He remains a true gem for my wife and I.

My wife, my sister-in-law, my nephew, and myself are all patients of Dr. Peters. He has provided excellent treatment to each of us, and has actually gone above and beyond our expectations of what a physician' s duties are to his patients. He is extremely professional and conscientious.
