Dr Terrance Peabody has been my physician for 10 years. I continue to entrust my cancer survivorship care to him for two reasons. First, he is a brilliant clinician who has not only the formal education, but the years of clinical experience to be an expert at diagnostics and therapeutics in what is a complex, rapidly changing medical field. Second, he listens. He hears my concerns, asks great clarifying questions, and crafts medical plans that help me achieve the goals I have for my health. Dr Peabody is one of a kind.
