Felt like I wasted his time, had a chronic flare up of my parasite in my eye and saw him twice and would not give me anything to treat it. Said he didn't have to be my doctor if I didnt take losing my eye sight seriously. Made me cry from yelling and didnt seem to care, walked out of the office...

Review for Dr. Peters III

She USED To be a good provider when she first joined the practice a few years ago. She WAS attentive and genuinely tried to find solutions. But that zeal for providing good patient care is now gone. I asked if a specific test would be appropriate and she agreed. But she couldn’t find the procedure...

Review for Dr. Peters III

Jen-Jacques is a very competent doctor. What I liked most was his desire to explain how the heart and body responds to illness. He is cautious in diagnosing ailments and careful in starting any intervention. I would highly recommend him
