Peters Dr Robert E Family Practice

Very rude and obnoxious person. Doesn’t deserve this one star!!!

I couldn’t agree more with the previous posts.
This guy is HORRIBLE! Absolutely the worst medical experience I’ve ever had.
I too was assigned him by default through my insurance carrier. I only saw him once and that was enough.
Think about it. How can this morbidly obese guy have respect for anyone’s health when he doesn’t even have respect for his own?
He’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. Actually, I can’t believe it hasn’t happened already. Probably, since he’s so terrible, he’s incapable of retaining patients long enough to do too much serious damage. STAY AWAY!

If I could give this man a negative star rating, I would. Let me start off by saying that I chose him as my PCP by default. I had a specific OB/​GYN that I wanted to see, so working backwords, Dr. Peters fell into the medical group from which I had to choose. I must mention at this point that he has been my PCP for over a year now, but I have never met him — simply because I haven’t needed to see him.
I just called his office for the first time in order to make an appointment for a referral to an endocrinologist. It completely surprised me that he answered his own business phone. When he rudely asked me «What are you calling me about?» I proceeded to give him a brief history of what led me to this call. Another doctor, whom I see outside of my healthcare insurance, asked my OB/​GYN to order a specific blood test. When it came back suspect, I was encouraged to see my PCP in order to be referred to an endocrinologist. At this point, Dr. Peters interrupted me to tell me that «None of this has anything to do with me?». I was immediately confused. I asked him how that was, as he was my PCP and I needed his referral. Apparently he didn’t like that idea. He said, «well, if your fertility doctor wants to manage your thyroid issue, then let him.» I attempted to explain to him that I would like to have an endocrinologist do that, as my call to him was not about my fertility, it was about my thyroid. It was at this point he became combative with me. He said that they were one and the same. WHAT? I voiced to him that I was getting very frustrated with the conversation and that all I wanted was to further look into a possible issue. After arguing with me (yes — ARGUING… what doctor ARGUES with his patents???) He then said «Well, whatever. I guess if you want me to I can order a blood test» I asked him what kind of blood test he would order, and his response was «Whatever blood test I WANT to order. Unless YOU want to drive your healthcare. WHICH IS IT?»
It was at this point that I told him he was the most contentious doctor I had ever interacted with, and hung up — in tears.
I work in the healthcare field. I have NEVER had an experience with a doctor like this. EVER.
Dr. Peters is RUDE. ARROGANT. COMBATIVE. CONTENTIOUS. He should retire, and I seriously question whether or not he should hever have gone into healthcare in the first place.
I hope he reads this. And if he does, I hope he knows that he treated the wrong person in this manner. I will be filing formal complaints with every single avenue I can. I will be contacting Sharp Community Medical Group. I will be contacting the State Board. I will write reviews on EVERY. SINGLE. SITE. available.
If I have anything to do with it, he will NEVER treat another person this way.

Rude, Disgruntled, Pompous, Incompetent!!!
After seeing Dr. Peters for a few years I just left my last appointment in tears. I was never thrilled with the service or level of competence of Dr. Peters — I was referred to him by my last doctor who stopped seeing patients. I just didn’t really feel like searching for a new primary care. On one visit he was about to write a prescription for amoxicillin — and thankfully coming from a family of doctors I knew that was penicillin which he failed to recognize I was allergic to. When I explained the allergy he actually had to look up an alternative treatment in a handbook!
Most recently I’ve been dealing with chest congestion and tightness. He gave me a peak flow meter to determine a course of treatment. After reporting back he prescribed me an proventil/​albuterol inhaler. After using that for a while he wrote me a prescription for Advair telling me if I needed to use my proventil inhaler more than once or twice a day I would need to start using the advair. As my chest congestion and breathing issues continued, I recently filled the advair prescription and went back for a follow up after an episode at an urgent care with a nebulizer. Right from the start of the appointment he was very rude and defensive, often raising his voice to respond to my questions. When I asked for a referral to see a pulmonologist he defensively asked why I wanted to see one. I explained that since Im now on the advair and continue to have issues with my breathing I just wanted some lung tests and xrays run so I didnt have to be on medications for the rest of my life if they weren’t necessary. He immediately argued that I dont have asthma and all my breathing issues were the result of common colds, bronchitis, allergies, etc. I told him I didnt appreciate his attitude and was starting to get upset and he continued to belittle me by going through my chart page by page and pointing out Ive never been to see him for asthma and I DO NOT have it. When I asked why he would prescribe a peak flow meter, proventil inhaler and Advair he claimed the inhaler was for the bronchitis and cold and he never prescribed the advair (It was never written in his chart but I have a copy from the pharmacy!!) He continued to yell at me in a defensive, childish and unprofessional manner and I began to cry because I was so upset by his behavior. After more arguing I abruptly cut the appointment off saying it was over, time for me to leave and I would be finding a new primary care (hopefully one who can read a chart, prescribe meds I’m not allergic to, and remember a diagnosis and prescriptions!)
I think Dr. Peters is getting old and set in his ways and doesn’t like listening to patients or their problems. I tried explaining that Ive been sick more than I ever have this year and his response was «do you know how many times Ive been sick in my life??» He’s rude and desensitized and also incompetent. Google him and check out his other reviews, they all say the same!
